OK, My Bored Reading Moratorium is Over-Because...

OK, I will stop with the 1 post threads and read the Bored because this is really cool, but also kind of scary.
I made my first post yesterday in "The Smoke of the Sioux" on the basic divisions of the Sioux.and within hours a commenter (my first), not only knew who I was, but also who (and how) my Great-Great was tied into the Minnesota Massacre.

Look at the comment and note that it was made before I posted the "Family Connection" post-(which was a fun little post-with pictures).

In a way, the comment sent shivers down my spine, because I realized that if I can keep it up, "The Smoke of the Sioux" has the potential to be something.
I test Google things related to "The Smoke of Africa" and my stuff comes up very high on Google results, which is not surprising considering the relative obscurity of the subject.
"The Smoke of the Sioux" stuff will contain more stuff that people will Google and if my stuff starts coming up high-things could get fun.

Even if it doesn't go anywhere, I have figured out over the last few years that I love to write and I have been trying to figure out a way to write about the Yanktonais (and the rest) for a long time.
It will certainly cut down on the time-wasting surfing of the internet. I don't know how the Running Iron guys-Jim and Craig-who each have their own active blogs and make a living besides, do it. However, as Jim said-the more you write, the more you want to write.
I have an infinite number of topics ahead of me just for "The Smoke of the Sioux" and when I mentioned to the wife and Spocklette that we might have (get) to take some Sunday drives to visit Sioux war sites and stuff, they got excited. P
I think when the time comes my ashes will scattered at Whitestone Hill. One of Louis L'Amour's forebears died there and when the Spocklette (then 11) and Littlest Spock (then 9) and I visited the site in 2012 the Spocklette said "I love the prairie wind." When she was born, I wanted to name her Wild Rose, but I lost that battle.

I have some land that is crying out for a research project-native prairie that has never been plowed, but always grazed-but now is not grazed.
I guess this is a long way of saying-My Heart is full.
