I'd wish ya'll a happy Columbus Day, but the Navajos here in the third world don't recognize it. Schools don't close, stores don't take notice. Pretty embarrassing to tell people I live here.

I lived in Columbus, Ohio for 13 years. They did NOT celebrate Columbus Day at all! Go figure! They had a replica of the Santa Maria at the docks on the Olentangy River but did not celebrate Columbus Day!
Stores in Virginia are taking total notice of the "holiday" - big sales everywhere! -

Josh, I used to spend a lot of time cris-crossing Navajoland. Where abouts are you residing?
I was working for Prime Star at the time- it was quite common to see a ceder log hogan with a satellite dish, the coax running out to a shed or brush arbor with a generator, and laundry hanging on the coax:-)

Blegh. They have that here. I live in Page Arizona. Population is about 8,000, or 50,000 on Government check day, in the area of the post office.
You see that all the time on the rez, people who have no good business having power to their 'homes' having satellite television and $45,000 vehicles parked out front. -

Ah, Page, I hitched through there several times in my yute.
got stuck at the Yuba City turn off one time when I was 17. 100 + degrees. I went through 2 gallons of water and counted 376 cars before a Navajo carpenter stopped and gave me a ride to Page- he saved my life, I'm sure:-)On a Southbound trip I
Drank water outa the hose at the Gap gas station learned all about what the dry heaves were by thew time I got to Flag. Was almost scalped while I waited for a ride outa the gap that night. All the local bucks were cruising by slowly in the pick ups telling me what was gonna happen to me if I was out there after dark. I had a couple .38s and a half dozen speed loaders, but I wanted outa there bad.
A guy in a blaze orange Cadillac hearse towing a power boat stopped & I hopped in the back. His young daughters were popping the tops on beers for him as fast as he could down them. He took a couple shots of NyQuil as a chaser. He was doing 90 through Cameron and the boat was swaying into the oncoming traffic and then over into the gravel. One of girls says "Daddy what is momma gonna say about you trading the truck for this old car?"...
