So things....hmmm.....where to begin.
At least a little follow up on the solstice pagaent it seems. The story of Yalmer the Woodcutter was of the struggle of a small business man who must be vigilant to remember why he does what he does in a culture where profits, possessions, and production seem to become dominant despite any proof that they actually make us happy. It involved deer costumes, many small forest animals, and a stationary bike powered table saw which yours truly designed and built out of scrap lumber from around the shop.
The story begins with Yalmer the Logger picking out the spot in the woods where he will set up his home stead. He enter the woods (stilt walkers) and finds just the spot to set up shop. There are plenty of trees for him to harvest and conduct his trade. He also meets and befriends a porcupine who assists him in his works.
In his dream ghostly deer are overwhelming him with things. Stuff he wants. Stuff he thinks he needs. Stuff that in the end has him tossing and turning in his sleep.
So after waking up Yalmer realizes that he needs to slow down to find his happiness. With the help of his friend the porcupine he does and peace returns to the forest, the sun king dances, and all is right with the world.
Well that's all for now....I need to rest....just like the sun kid.....until next time be well and live the life you love

As business grows he shifts from using an axe, to a cross cut saw......until finally he upgrades to the procupowered mill!!!!!
So with this new technology, Yalmer is able to increase production (deer in UPS trucks stopping by to pick up wood and drop off his new orders). He begins to get overly enticed by catalogs..........

So tired Yalmer needs rest from all his work and purchases and begins to dream....but first a danceing deer montage!!

Charlie, that is rightly insane.
Those dancing deer are kind of creepy.
But it sounds like you're having fun. Keep up the good work.
