i also am very unhappy that i was forced to leave the ranch and move because i feared for my safety.
i have a very strange, strange family.
i've always been viewed as being "wrong" because of my occupations, my political views, even my dress and my "hanging around Indians". (i guess you could say that i'm from the wrong side of the tracks.) :-) and of course it doesn't matter that we're part Indian. :-) white people!!! :-)
