hehehe you and Radix leave me in awe.
A short story which has nothing to do with this post, other than the Chi-moc-man reference -
About 1837 Congress appropriated money to survey the Wisconsin-Michigan border.
A judge took the challenge to survey what was then described as "an unbroken wilderness," and hired a crew to go about the business of surveying.
The crew arrived in Spring and quickly found the area to be dominated by mosquitoes and Anishinabe (Ojibwas).
What they didn't know is that the Ojibwas were quite the capitalists, having learned the free enterprise craft from 200 years of trading with the French voyagers.
So the surveyors set about doing their work in the various cedar swamps, laying township lines and generally getting eaten alive by black flies and mosquitoes. But that was the least of their problems.
Whenever the surveyors set foot outside the swamps onto trails, the Ojibwas stood on those trails demanding a toll from the chi-moc-man to pass along the road. Dressed in their best battle finery and holding war clubs, it was difficult to argue with 10 or 20 warriors demanding a "toll" to pass.
This went on day after day - step onto a trail and pay a toll.
Soon the surveyors were running out of goods - food, knives, cloth and one gold watch - to pay the toll. So the crew hurried along the survey work to get it done.
And if you look at the Wisconsin-Michigan border, you'll see a crooked, jagged line that was meant to be a straight line. That's a mess-up by the survey crew who got out of there as fast as possible.
