33. hmmm

my mom and I just had this conversation after the OK tornado... "What did the Native Americans do?" we thought...hos did they know if a storm was coming...you know they had to have a way because they were much more in sync with nature. and then...how did they shelter? did they have underground places or did they just sit in their teepees and wait to be sucked up by the sky gods?

I wonder sometimes at how vulnerable we truly are as a species...take away our technology and we are still just neanderthals huddled around the fire...
