I can't seem to shake either the general cold we are having in Florida or the lingering cold sticking with me for the past 3 weeks. As soon as they both let up I can get into my Kite Boarding lessons. Also I see a way to barter for an entire kite boarding rig. They don't come cheap but in my case it might be FREE via barter and coupons.

PING!

Are they the original authors of Obama’s Hopi Changey theme?

I love how DUmmies hold such reverence for every religion except Christianity.

“Some say Hopi and Tibet are connected, and that if you stick a pin through a globe where Hopi is located, on the other side you will find Tibet.”

Sorry DUmmie, you are the weakest link.

“I’m glad to see that the indigenous cultures and traditions are connecting and there seems to be more of that going on as the Elders hook-up and create a new web of understanding.”

I hate that braindead sentence structure. You see it a lot these days.

It goes: liberalese->casual->metaphor.

liberalese:
“I’m glad to see that the indigenous cultures and traditions are connecting”

casual:
“and there seems to be more of that going on as the Elders hook-up”

metaphor:
“and create a new web of understanding.”

It’s like they’ve opened the door to being called a fag with the liberalese, then they get cold feet, so they put the casual latch on the door, and then open it a bit wider with the metaphor in case other libs think they’re being too normal

[Verginius Rufus]

Makes sense: the Hopi are Indians and Tibet is right next to India.

The Hopi language isn't Athabaskan, by the way. It belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family along with Nahuatl, Ute, Paiute, Goshute, etc. (For more on the Goshutes, see Mark Twain's Roughing It.)

[I tried that but instead of Tibet the pin hit a buffet in Bangladesh.]”

Laugh of my evening. I thank you.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Has anyone told the Hopis about this yet? LOL! Of course, there may be something to this. Unlike the Navajos, the Hopis have chosen not to participate in that stupid daylight savings time gig. That kind of “connects” them to the rest of Arizona. One of the “elders” told me one time that only a white man would be dumb enough to think that you could make a blanket longer by cutting one foot of it off of one end and sewing it on the other end.

I'm glad to see that the indigenous cultures and traditions are connecting and there seems to be more of that going on as the Elders hook-up and create a new web of understanding. There are jewels of balance and wisdom surfacing as we consider the true nature of our nervous systems and how we function. That's where the revolution and evolution is for me as we face a very challenging scenario of such great proportions for our entire species.

Heavy, man. Like, spark another bone and pass it around.

[Why no heads up to DU Lutherans?]

One of my seminary classmates became a pastor in Duluth, Minnesota. His e-mail handle was "Dulutheran."

[BigGaloot]

“He wrote an inscription and hid it in the rocks.”

Just like Joseph Smith.

There are all kinds of similarities.

Merry Hopi Changemas!

if you stick a pin through a globe where Hopi is located. . . .

Voodoo geographics.

It will scream in pain. Have these people no heart? Globes have feelings, too.

CHINO VALLEY, Ariz. – About 1,200 years ago a great Tibetan master called Guru Rinpoche made a prophecy. He wrote an inscription and hid it in the rocks.

If by "hid it in the rocks" they mean "hid it inside solid rock." That is known as Terma. He hid hundreds of teachings that way.

It was found just recently.

If by "recently" they mean "within the last 200 - 300 years." I don't know when that particular Terma was revealed but that would be my guess.

The prophecy said, “Later, when the iron bird flies, then the red-robed ones will go to the red rocks and meet with the tradition there and unite again.”

If by that they mean "When the iron bird flies the Dharma will move to the land of the red man."

I guess that was all close enough for a DUmmie.

You think it’s cold?

That’s so cute!

It’s 7 degrees here right now, and it was -7 this time a few nights ago.

Some say Hopi and Tibet are connected, and that if you stick a pin through a globe where Hopi is located, on the other side you will find Tibet.

Egad. I had to atop right there.

Any Elementary School kid with a world globe knows that wouldn't happen -- since BOTH are in the Northern Hemisphere. (as in NORTH of the Equator)

Wait ... forget having a world globe, just use Google maps and turn the Long & Lat function on.

[kevkrom]

if you stick a pin through a globe where Hopi is located, on the other side you will find Tibet

Well, sure. But that's actually true for any two points on the globe, as long as you don't add the qualifier of the pin going through the actual center or anything.
