This time we're told to "prepare for" 3 to 5 inches. Right.<br /><br />By the by, in case it's not apparent, the Bannocks (of the present poem) are an indigenous tribe of Northern Paiutes of the Great Basin region. After the Bannock War of 1878 they moved -- or were moved, more like -- into the Fort Hall Res, near Pocatello, where they "merged" or were merged, with the Northern Shoshone people.<br /><br />There are perhaps 5000 Bannocks left alive.<br /><br />Along with exactly one Fats Domino.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-15641821571925067362011-09-30T08:05:29.428-07:002011-09-30T08:05:29.428-07:00every time The Fat Man played The Keg
