November 2008

A strange thing happened. As I was writing in my field journal I recieved a report that a special lunch having to do with a celebration they call Thanksgiving was being served at one of my prime research specimen's location. I immediately ran over to a building that is used as a boarding house with small brain developing activities being held on the half hour and hour.
Imagine my surprise when all the children were in full out war paint and clothing. I tried to find any indications of who the unlucky enemy was. Noting that they all gazed at me when I walked in the room.
This picture was just a few of the smaller beings (including the 2nd to the left which I refer to as Kai sometimes) in their ceremonial garb. After visiting for a while I realized their enemy was the food being handed out which they devoured in no time at all.
To think, if one of my field associates hadn't contacted me in the nick of time, I would have never been able to see this!
