April 13 Lorraine and I have this attraction to the whole cowboy and Indian culture (he said, as if they were one and the same). We are missing the southwest, even though we found the sunshine we were craving here in Florida, and lots of little lizards. So today, we went to a "Native American Festival", also known as: "You've ripped us off for 500 years white man, now it's our turn." That's actually not true. The stuff there was beautiful, and priced as it should be. A lot of work goes into it. Prices at this festival were much more affordable than at the "pow-wow" we go to in Southampton each Labor Day weekend. Even the Indians there are Hamptonites. The tribe out there is the Shinicocks, and they have the town of Southampton over a barrel right now. After achieving official recognition as a tribe from the U. S. government a few years ago, they then filed an application to build a casino. The Hamptonites are going crazy at the prospect of waves of additional traffic inundating their pristine little hamlets. I think there is a deal in the works whereby Southampton is offering to buy them a piece of land somewhere else to build their casino. ANYWHERE else. If you have a large enough backyard, let Southampton know. They will make you a VERY attractive offer.
