No, that’s not a medicine man, that is a prime example of a “tube nosed politician”, once thought to be rare but increasing in numbers through out North America.

Bet a little searching in obscure places and we’ll find there is nothing new here.

Well, I guess the locals can stop tossing all those strange critters into the crater to keep the fire god happy...

[at least three new fish, a new bat and a giant rat]
They could have saved themselves a dangerous trip through the jungles and just brought their camera’s to a joint meeting of Congress.

I spent a few weeks as an exchange student in Quebec, Quebec in ‘73. I saw the movie La Valle’ (The Valley, did I spell that right?) at a theater. Obscured By Clouds is the soundtrack to it. Amazing that it came out just before Dark Side of the Moon and never really got noticed, except by you of course.
