My dad used to call people who he thought were dumb “squirrel-heads”. I think it had something to do with nuts - as in “he’s nuts”. Anyway, I’ve always thought squirrels were a very fun animal. Very resourceful, they seem to have a good time, and they are fluffy, and really - they are pretty cute. On the other hand, they go whereever they think they can get some food, and being rodents, food seems to be right at the top of their list of good times. I decided they had eaten enough of my bird food, and it was clear that what I needed was a way to discourage their daily food run. Besides, I needed something fun to do.

I've been working on our original website Oyate Ta Olowan.We've been working on adding digital downloads to the site, but it's still a challenge. Oyate is a public radio series that we did on traditional Native American music. We did 52 half hour shows and traveled over 100,000 miles collecting music from all over the Americas. It was a while ago, but people still seem to love it, so we keep offering the shows for sale. It's all a part of our little press Many Kites Press. Life is so amazing, and so full, but we keep on trucking. I hope things are going well for all of you, and that continue to create wonderful things. Later, Milt Lee
