How?…..

Considering there’s no firewall, it would be easy to read the message.

If you stand too close and breathe, you may find yourself hacking on the smoke from the smoke signal.

Another example why Skylar doesn’t leave the fifth grade !! ! !

The PC term is ‘indigenuity’.

Like cell phones, there’s no legal privacy in smoke dignals.

A bit of wind on the plateau will scramble it.

Planting corn and tobacco in alternating rows to allow the natural pesticides in the tobacco to kill the insects that would prey on the corn. Grinding fish bones into power to use as a fertilizer for the crops being grown.

I’d like to know how that worked, Skyler.

Those Native Americans must have been from Houston!

Hmmm?

Planting corn, squash, and beans all together. The corn stalk served as support for the bean vine, and the squash helped keep weeds at bay. As a bonus: cooking all three together into succotash, by some magic of biochemistry, makes them more nourishing than if you cooked and served them separately. Strange, huh?

Last Sunday’s edition?
