A buffalo and me


I spent yesterday at the Durham Western Heritage Museum
in my constant striving
to learn every possible thing about western history.

Hey, it's a hobby, what can I say???

Here I am posing in front of a buffalo.

I'm the one on the left, shut up.

Long Horns

I was at a museum that had a stuffed longhorn in it. He seemed really FRIENDLY.
I read somewhere that when longhorns went wild in Texas they took up the place in the ecological world that the buffalo had occupied and Texans viewed them as really dangerous and useless beasts. Rounding them up and driving them to market was groundbreaking because they were so skinny and dangerous they weren't really thought of as a food source.
But they were TOUGH.
They survived when weaker breeds of cattle didn't.

Night at the Museum

I take pictures of WORDS at museums almost more than THINGS.
I need to remember the context of what I saw.

Living Lie Detector Plant

I was just gone a COUPLE OF DAYS!!!
I SWEAR
Well, four.
I came home to this.
~~~
~~~
Let's call it performance art.
Death on the Porch.
WAIT!
Death on the Parch
Catchy.
It hung from my porch, a living lie detector plant.
"Do you keep your plants watered, Ms Connealy?"
"Yes."
The needle goes crazy.
But then I watered it and
BAM!
~~~
~~~
At 6 pm I come home to this.
Now why would a plant be so picky, huh?
Is it a plant or is it an inflatable toy?
A water balloon plant, maybe?
Do they have those?
It stand up,

it deflates,

it stand up,
it deflates.
I've been through this cycle several times before.
I think I need a cactus.
