"One thing I WON’T do with my wadded-up columns and these stuffed-shirt letters is stuff ’em under some firewood to start a campfire.

You see, we Indians know stuff about the great outdoors.

We have a lot of important nature-stuff stuffed into our genes.

It’s kinda like how we know when there is going to be a severe winter ahead — we know to see the signs in the wild. Signs, like, beavers stuffing away more food in their lodges, or, the presence of many white guys out in the hills cutting firewood. . ."
