AKA: Nobody Loves Flapping Eagle. Comedy with social commentary, about Indians living on reservations and how they are neglected by the U.S. government. Anthony Quinn plays Flapping Eagle, "Flap", a colorful crusader for respect for Native Americans. Based upon the book Nobody Loves a Drunken Indian by Clair Huffaker. Also starring Claude Akins and Shelley Winters. Filming locations: Albuquerque, Madrid, Puye Cliffs (Santa Clara Pueblo), Santa Fe, Santo Domingo Pueblo.

I had trouble with one of the primary locations of the movie: The road out of the Pueblo & Construction Site. Where is that place? Resembles the Tesuque/ Camel Rock area, but is it actually there? A mystery!

“We shot it on one block in the South Valley. We secured different locations up and down the block so we just turned the camera around. We never had to move except for two days. We actually never went over ten-hour days. They were pretty short. We were very efficient about it. We knew what we wanted and got it.”

Four Mammals

Last night, just as we were finishing up our walk, Jasper gazed at the nearby cemetery and saw four sociable mammals at the fence. It was hard to make out what kind of mammals they were, but based on prior experience I'd say they were almost certainly skunks. Jasper insisted on visiting, but the mammals had their own idea and disappeared into the night.

A Visit To The Antelope Aquatic Complex

Six-year-old's birthday party at the Antelope Aquatic Complex. A surprising number of Russians in the crowd there on a hot afternoon.

Went down these big tubes. It went something like this....

David Koch Still on Wrong Side of River Styx After Refusing to Pay One-Cent Ferry Tax

Koch wants to change things:

“I don’t see why there needs to be a blanket fee for everybody when we could simply allow the market to determine a fair price,” said Koch, shivering over a small fire at the edge of the ancient river that separates the mortal world from the realm in which all human souls rest together in eternity, free from pain and worry. “I see a lot of profit to be made here.”

...Charon reportedly felt there had been a misunderstanding between himself and Koch.

“The coin is more like, you know, a metaphorical thing,” said Charon. “Giving up your worldly possessions so you can move into the afterlife on an equal footing with everyone else. That’s why we make it so cheap. I’m not sure if this guy really gets it.”
