My friend Proarcher and I instead of going to a 3-D shoot today decided to do something different and something that wouldn't cost any money. We first started out by going to a Pow Wow, which Proarcher had never been to one. We spent a couple of hours watching the dancers in the main arena, looked various Native American exhibits, demonstrations and wares very interesting. After leaving there, I showed Proarcher a newly found place with Bamboo that grows straight 30-40 ft, 16-18 inch spacing between nodes and 4 1/2 to 5 inches across. After marveling at what I had found we cut one down and loaded it in his small SUV. That filled his little truck from dashboard to rear window. Having found this new paradise of material what could be better. Well down the road we passed a business that we both commented on at the same time about how we would like to take a look around. Ended up finding Black Obsidian. Now I can graduate from Glass Bottles to the real stuff. By the way there is a lot of the Boo. AS soon as I can find my USB cable I'll down load our cache for today.
