    Today (June 21) is National Indigenous Peoples Day
    here in Canada.

    It is still not long after summers solstice (the peak
    of the solar year) here, and full moon (the peak
    of the lunar cycle) is tonight here, and it is also
    about the peak of the 11 year sunspot cycle.

    I’m making yet another Sisyphean moon rock rolling
    attempt, which I am reporting on on the thread
    “crest of a moon/crest of the sun” on alt.religion.druid .

    This moon reminds me of another full moon, that
    of the 1990 Celtica Festival in Vancouver, when
    i had some barbecued salmon prepared by BC
    native people. I also in the summers of 1994
    and 1995 played for the W.I.S.E. Club in
    slow pitch softball against the Hooligans
    (a play on oolichan, small fish like our Newfoundland
    capelin), who I think included some native people.
