---...---

When the buffalo are all slaughtered, the wild horses all tamed, the secret corners of the forest heavy with the scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills blotted by the talking wires, where is the thicket? Gone. Where is the eagle? Gone. And what is it to say goodbye to the swift and the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.

-Excerpt from a letter to President Pierce in 1855 from Chief Seattle

National Folk Festival in Richmond

hi there everyone
hope you are doing well

Haoua Chieck Traore called me today to remind me about the National Folk Festival in Richmond

She will be there selling great stuff by artisans from Mali. I believe that Billy Miller will be there too, as a demonstrating artisan & musician.

I will look up specific details on the festival and post them soon. I believe the date of the event is in the second week of October.

Bye, thanks for reading. -Suzy

WV mine claims one

hi everyone
hope you are well

Please note that a miner lost his life in Logan County WV a couple of days ago
If you wish to learn more please visit ohvec.org

I am wiring up the Traces library pages so that they will be easy to search - here are a few starting points.

http://www.stonesculpture.ws/traces
http://www.stonesculpture.ws/traces/library/home.htm

since the Traces library for creative literacy, also known as the Traces free library, is looking to become more grid-independent and less enmeshed with the icann, domain names previously held by the Traces library editing team have been allowed to lapse. Namely traces.ws. This name was purchased about a week ago and is being developed as an educational resource. I do not know much beyond this, since I am not involved with the current development of traces.ws.

in any case, folks who are looking to see content that is 100% representative of the wishes and goals of the Traces library editing team should navigate to ideapark.org > traces or mountainpride. net > traces or something like that.

although the new owners of traces.ws have populated the site with a great deal of material from the Traces Library for Creative Literacy, making the appearance rather similar, readers should be aware that:

a. navigating to traces.ws will no longer take you to a place of ad-free content.
b. if you do go to traces.ws, please understand that although you might be seeing some of my pictures and links to my writing, the ads are not my doing.

bye, thanks for reading, have a beautiful day.

adventure brew hostel help wanted posting

hi folks

Invitation to travelers, adventurers, and students of tourism from around the world ... come and enjoy the adventures and challenges of Bolivia, apply your experiences or studies in an exciting environment full of opportunity.

The Adventure Brew Hostel is pleased to be able to offer several modestly paid intern/volunteer positions to motivated individuals who can afford to pay their own airfares over here, are willing to get by on little-to-no-money (although we may be able to throw in accommodation and a couple of meals a day), and are excited by the idea of applying their skills in a completely different environment.

Our funky hostel/small hotel (35 beds) has its own microbrewery, its own bbq on the roof top terrace, a constant flow of backpackers, and a desperate need for several energetic, proactive, young, hip individuals to help whip it into shape and make sure the fun times keep rolling on (and that we can one day make a profit on this gig!).

Please contact us by email at info@theadventurebrewhostel.com to learn how little we can afford to pay you, how hard we will work you, how much you can learn out here, and what an awesome experience you'll have.

Cheers,

Alistair "el jefe" Matthew
