Hi Shadow, this one I am wanting to hear about! You've had some rather clever come backs. So, please do tell us what indian time is. .. .. .I'm betting it is whatever time he wants it to be! Did you ever own a "Big Ben" brand pocket watch? My younger brother had one that our great uncle gave to him when he was maybe 5 or 6 years old. These pocket watches cost a dollar in the five and ten cent stores in the 30's and even into the early 40's; however, my brother got his in the late 1930's when he was a constant companion of the great uncle and he felt grown up pulling his watch out and checking the time as if he could tell time just mimicking the great uncle. Brother and the watch were taken to a cotton gin by the great uncle and brother was allowed to play in the cotton being made ready to gin - and the watch fell out of his pocket and went through the ginning process. Gone you ask? Not on your life as the uncle made the gin people tear that bale of cotton up until they found that pocket watch, and just like today's "Timex watches" - it kept on ticking! Brother eventually lost his prize watch. But it does provide for a fond memory of the watch and also the great uncle who died in 1945.

You're right on that one, Bettye. Morning afternoon or evening.................I have friends that live on the Tulalip Rez. We get together when ever everyone gets there. We are always on "Indian time".
