Wendy: And they say it's an absurd universe. That's me in the front row.
rambler: The Micmacs are from Maine and the Maritimes. Both tribes are Algonquian. I live in what was No Man's Land for the Narragansetts, Massachusetts, Wampanoags (of Pilgrim fame), and Nipmucks- most of these almost wiped out by smallpox, etc., but still present. Beautiful place names all around. There's a town named Seekonk, and whenever I heard it in my childhood I pictured a wedge of flying geese. Only recently did I learn that it means wild goose.
