That is a funny sticker

Our flight to Los Angeles has been delayed. The equipment is stuck in Dallas due to the heavy ice and storm. We decided to make the most of it by hiking to Orchid Falls.

Once we reached the parking lot, we saw this van with a really funny sticker!

It says
“Driver carries no cash
He’s married”

The chief’s house

The chief is currently 92 years old. When he dies, the eldest male member of the whole family becomes the chief. So, unlike the olden days when the eldest son became the chief, now it can be his brother, nephew … whoever is the eldest.

Celebrating New Year

There was this gentleman with what looked like some kind of powder or ash all over his place. I asked the guide what was he doing?

Apparently, celebrating New Year’s! New Year’s celebration carries on thru the second weekend of January here. Drinking alcohol is permitted. (Kava needs no permission of course).

“So, what is it that he has put on his face?” I asked

“Powder”

“What kind of powder?”

“Talcum powder”

“Wow!”
