     Yeah, El D, but the powers that be don't think so...... >:(  So has the weather warmed up in your neck of the woods?  Or are you still getting the mass departing of Brass monkey's, and Witches? ;D  Has the road department figured out how to keep the roads open? ;)

no need to tell you to have fun, but stay safe and don't drink the water.

Eddie, looks like a really interesting  place. It does kind of look like the eastern TN foothills. I've always wanted to go to South America for some reason. Have fun and watch yer 6.

 Chris, actually the rivers and streams here are clear and the water in Uberaba and Patrosinio is as good as ours. This is the best area I've been to yet down here. I ate lunch today with the owner of the ranch coffee plantation today. He insisted, so I said suuuure. I don't speak Portuguese worth a hoot and he didn't understand English or speak it, and was almost deaf. We visited for about 2 hours and don't have a clue what we discussed. Lunch from a wood burning stove his wife used was good. I just don't know what some of the food was.

 Jamie,  Ain't none! I found out it's in Southern Brazil. I found some quartze today and none of it is freeze fractured ;D. But none is very big, either. I walked close to 4 miles today inspecting a creek and wetlands area for our Engineer in the States. I kept waiting to find that perfect Clovis in that clear water. And then how to get it through Customs. I'm going to visit a phosphate mine while I'm here as soon as I get through argueing with this drilling company here and we start working. I heard there is some nice quartze and amythist there.

 I know what you are talking about, and I've been trying to figure out how to take pictures without being rude. ;D The other big landowner we are dealing with is the Monsenhor Israel, (Portuguese) spelling. My last week here I will do a photo spread. :)

     Man!  And you get paid for this?!!!  ::)   So how many legs did lunch have? :P  The only Portuguese word I know is Benoit.  (Good NIGHT)  Something like that.   Well it seems like you are being treated like royalty down there. :o  Just enjoy it while you can.  ;) India is a place I don't think you will want to stick around, for too long...... ;)  Now China on the other hand...... 8)  Well you could put that Clovis, on a thong, and wear it around your neck, or as a key chain fob ;)......tell em it is a re pro...... ;D ;D

P.S.  Saw Claude and the missus, and their wooley son.  He remembered me, and was looking for the buffalo hide...... ;D  I think I will take with me tomorrow, and give it to him.  Well I asked Claude if he wanted any more of the Mahogany Obsidian, and he said yeah, he would take a couple of spalls, or pieces, and that he didn't have too much room for it.  So I went to my truck, and crawled around the back, and found some stuff, and took an armload to him, and he spalled some, and I asked him how much would he charge me to make a couple of arrowheads, one for my Girlfriend, and one for one of my Buddie's wife, so he said, well, it looks like we just made a trade, so he starts on the black, and silver sheen like stuff, he called it Burns Obsidian, and anyway, he gets a blade about three quarters done, and it hits a crack, and breaks in two. ( Lucky for me! ) So he picks up some Mahogany, and whacks a nice spall off of it, and then he says, that isn't Mahogany, it was a neat coloring, his Wife said that is a neat coloration, so I said, OK, lets call it Tortoise shell......kinda looks like that.  Anyway, he proceeds to shaping and thinning it, and the next thing I know he looks up and says, how do you want to finish it?  I was about floored, so I said, OK, how about some corner notches, so he makes this absolutely beautiful turkey tail, about five inches long, by about three inches wide.  That thing is absolutely beautiful, he signs it and gives it to me.  Well, needless to say, the Girlfriend is NOT getting that one!!!!  I bought two arrow heads from him and had him notch them for me, and then I bought a flint knife blade, which I am going to haft to an antler handle, and give to My Buddies Wife, and give the two arrow heads to my Girlfriend. The Turkey Tail, and the Dacite clovis blade he made when I brought the load of rock to his place with you, are going to be part of a display case.  Well keep taking pictures, and keeping us informed on how rough it is down there.

 Wayne, sounds like Claude did you good. I hate to see him go but I'm glad for them. Good night is the same as Spanish, Buenos Noche, but pronounced, bone no-cha. ;)

Lombard, the way this job is starting out, I'll be here for quite awhile. Bjorn, I always claim," Nothing to declare". Same as I did on my Brazil customs forms, with three bottles of Jim Beam in my luggage. ;D

That's not whisky, that's liquid entertainment!
