Melungeon

Anyone heard of Appalachian folks called Melungeons? Came up in conversation today as one man explained his odd roots back in West Virginia/Kentucky (what his family will or won't admit). Seems there are many groups who are a racial mix left over from colonial times. In any case I find it interesting how tangled and connected we as humans are. In his case he always wondered about the olive complexion common in his family and has been told his teeth are Native American.

ME:

I'm okay but not in the mood to blog, but that will change.

It was a nice sunny day parenthesized by a call from Robert this morn and evening. I'd been concerned about him, but he's now in New York having left Kansas. I need to go back to Kansas to visit. No good news from there though.

Here? Plenty of good news if I think about it. I meet new people most every day even though I have fallen into a rhythm ... (or rut)

As I wrote ... I'm not in the mood to blog.

Montana: 34º at 23:30. Swear I saw flakes crossing the bridge home.
