      hola, nightly, yes, and then there was superior and globe, arizona. that was after the gila river indian reservation. they were copper mining towns. i originally went there because i did a day trip to the boyce thompson arboretum and they're right around the corner. and then i kept going back and back and back, i found the vietnam war memorial, in superior, i think, or it could have been globe, they're right next to each other. lots of apache names since the apache rez is right next door. i always visited the small catholic church, can't remember the name. peridot, arizona, is there, as well. it made me wonder if the cognitize spaceship in my 482-page spiritual sci-fi romance hadn't been covered in olivine, of which peridot is in the family, since it withstands great heat. the spaceships name was 'the esmeralda'. cleopatra's 'emeralds' were really very green peridots. the alchemists might have used it to line their little fire chambers of transformation. a little bit south of there is florence, where the high security prison is. i wonder how many apaches were locked up in there. i am part apache. geronimo and teddy roosevelt used to have interesting talks when he was a prisoner of the u.s. teddy loved the grand canyon and he stayed at the copper queen hotel in bisbee and the gadsden hotel in douglas. back when he and george patton would visit the border. dewey kissinger was the head chef at the gadsden hotel in her glory days, he trained my dad. there is something called 'china poblana' in mexico, it's a beauty queen title, but you don't get it on beauty and talent, you raise money for the cause. i was runner-up in s.v. one year. e out-going queen, natalie morales pushed on that one, 'chicanos por la causa'. i got their little scholarship my senior year. it was enough to pay for 2 semesters at the junior college, part-time. based on barack obama's economic team dissolvng, i guess we are over the hump. i am just on the sidelines looking on. but i hope that the new america is not the rat race whose noose we just slipped. when i have a little bit of energy, the art supplies call me, actually, that one last piece of 2' x 3' canvas that i have it's not stretched, it is rolled up in a corner of my workroom so, an abstract oil. i wonder what the colors will be . . . . . best, anna martina
