Full Beaver Moon

Years ago I invested with a few of the local good ole boys and we set up and opened one of those traps and called it the "Rustlers Club".

:-O

Here's a cool link to what some of the Native Nations called their Moons:

great link. it always amused me how people would say, "The Indians called this moon the sap moon" or some such comment. [sarcasm]Like all the different indian nations voted on it or something![/sarcasm] obviously, each moon meant different things depending on climate, culture and geography.

I agree. In these parts the word “Ochoco” is a common place name (Ochoco Mountains, Ochoco Creek) and travel brochures or maps will state ...”Ochoco” is an Indian word for “Willow”...

Indian, like Piute? Snake? Wasco? Modoc? Warm Springs? Chinook? Umatilla?

It’s like saying [sarcasm] “Fromage” is a European word for “cheese” [/sarcasm]

I am seriously disappointed with this thread. Where's the pornographic picture?

Here you go...totally nekkid..

Here you go...totally nekkid..

"Full Beaver Moon" [sarcasm]shouldn't that be the other end of the critter?[/sarcasm]

Here you go...totally nekkid..

Pervert. :-O :whistle:

The link is interesting, but raises another question. Tonight my wife asked about the name of a moon in the book she is reading and I went back to this thread. What puzzles me is that the list at the link ties 12 moons to our calendar months.

But the length of a lunar month is 29.53 days, so after 12 of them you are short almost 11 days of a solar year. This means the named moons would move out of their seasons in just a few years.

How did the natives deal with this? Leap moons?

That only happens once in a blue moon. 😉

It's always the same moon, every night, the indians did not have our Gregorian Calander or our concept of time; they had circular time....

> The idea of indian circular time or after a while the loss of 'feeling' Time creates unique bonds with Land, which can be seen in Native American's sacred locations like mountians and lakes. Once, you lose the idea of time and think of location first, the land you live on becomes your life. This land is than passed from generation to generation. As more and more people live and die on the same piece of land without the thought of time- The location start showing patterns and symbols. these patterns and symblols can be seen by long term inhabitants of the land, which allow them to locate themselves within the concept of Nature. The inherent feeling of connection to everything is felt by the circular thinker because Time has no meaning and location is the only consideration. This connection to space over thousands of generations, creates the spiritual experience in everyday life.

-Found on the internet.B-)

If you ask me, though, I say time flows on a spiral....:snarky:

I'm setting an alarm.

I'm trying to see the unique one in my life time things to fill the second half full to the top.

I'll get enough sleep when I'm dead.

It was raining and and cloudy through most of it but I caught the tail end as the clouds cleared.?ÿ Pun intended.

Saw it around midnight for a few seconds then went back to bed.

@jitterboogie Or you will be dead because you didn't get enough sleep.

@jitterboogie?ÿ
