Disclosure: in the last two months I have spent $0 on clothing and $13 on a haircut (the last time I paid someone to cut my hair was in January 2005).
The excavation is completed as of yesterday. I ran around and with the help of Allen and my other crew members, we finished. I was so tired I fell asleep on the couch at 6:30.
A slab-lined pit, used as an outdoor oven about 700 to 1000 years ago (difficult to see, but it is a little over a foot deep).
Brian was my personal saviour last night. My computer got infected with something called "xp antispyware 2009" and that fucking nasty virus took over my browser and everytime I tried to bring up webpages, it would divert me to something else (especially if I googled anti-virus websites). It also disabled my virus protection programs. No idea how it got onto my computer, or why someone would invent such a shitty thing. With Brian's help, I used Malwarebyte's program and it removed the virus and the annoying pop-ups.
An Early Agricultural period pithouse (400 BC-AD 50) that was below an Early Ceramic period pithouse (which I posted a picture of a few days back) The black and white stick is one meter long and is used as a scale in our pictures of houses.
I'm taking part of today off to do my own stuff. That includes sending an email to four people who work for the Arizona Daily Star, which today published a full page advertisement paid for by the "Yes on 102" anti-gay marriage amendment people (including the Knights of Columbus).
Forrest poses in a pithouse.
I actually pay money to get a paper copy of the newspaper- it is one of those pathetic liberal attributes- support the local media. Plus my mother reads it when she is here.
In the email to the executive and managing editors, publisher, and reader advocate, I stated:
I am wondering if your paper would have published a a similar full page ad "Yes on banning interracial marriages!" back in the day when that was the law? I am a gay man who pays taxes, has never been arrested, vote, volunteer, etc- and yet this vile amendment guarantees that I will remain a second class citizen in this state.
I am very angry and questioning why I should continue to subscribe. Can you explain your rational for publishing the ad, which even states that funding came from an out-of-state source.
Let me be clear- if I do not get a personal response to this email explaining why ADS published that ad I will be cancelling my subscription. This last sentence was in bold, just to make sure that it would catch their eye.
Don't get me started on Mormons and the Catholic Church right now. They are the main proponents of these anti-gay amendments. What a joke- right now in northern Arizona a Mormon polygamous sect is busy marrying grandpas to teenage girls as their 14th or 15th wives and then there is the whole "Let's pretend those priests aren't really raping little boys" cover up by the church in this state. "Let's keep marriage simple!" the churches proclaim, while looking the other way.
