You know how sometimes you see something that is so bogus, but if you comment on it you know those who think it SHOULD be true will protest and call you names for shattering their image? A guy posted early 20th century photo of a man in full plains Indian regalia standing on a cliff juxtaposed so Mt. Rainier (yes, in Washington State) is full in the background. I told them that Curtis and others sometimes took garments along and had people pose in them, that this is not an authentic garment worn in that area.

The guy who posted it came along and suggested that the cultures had "bumped into" each other with the crowding by railroad and such - no, it didn't. Not like this. So I gave him a little bit of information and now he's being all defensive and of course a little "me too" crowd is coming along. I just finally nailed them - if you say it's so often enough, does that make it true? No. Enjoy your photo, but it's bogus, and trying to dismiss my argument by calling me an arguer is a weak defense of the photo. Idiots, but sometimes you just get tired of going along and letting the wrong information lead the way. There's a little vinegar in the air with this fall weather! :)

Okay. It's my weekend, and after an assignment this evening I'm coming home and going to enjoy a couple of days of working around my house on my projects. It will be delightful!
