Lost Tribes

Just for anyone who hasn't yet seen them, check out this link below:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7427417.stm

Photos of a Newly discovered tribe in Brazil, it's like looking at a lost World, the spotter plane probably gave them a heart attack, but its amazing thinking that they haven't got a clue what's out there, no worries about fuel / food prices, and more than likely no idea about Climate change.

Just when you thought there was nothing left to be discovered about the planet.

Now isn't that something. It's hard to believe they've gone undiscovered for so long.

PROWLER!! I knew he had gone on vacation but I never realized he had gone so far!

Yes, I heard about this on the radio yesterday. Fascinating. Now we'll have some busy bodied scientists go in there and screw everything up. In about two more years you'll see a Starbucks in the village and the children wearing Nike shoes.

I'd heard on the news that there were strict orders not to disturb the tribe because history has shown that the first meeting with the outside world never ends well.

Yeah.... for a start they would probably be decimated by diseases brought in by outside people, since this tribe has not developed any kind of antibodies, so even a common cold would be disastrous for them.

I can only imagine the panic they felt when they saw and heard the chopper overhead!!

Bless them!!!

I am glad to hear that Prowler is on vacation. I had been wondering why he had not been on here but did not know who to ask of his where abouts. It amazes me how we talk to people here just as if they were in the next room at work. When actually that are half way around the world.

Keep Lookin Up!

Hi ML

Yeap Prowler went camping again a couple of weeks ago and when I spoke to him last he said he would be back home around the 18th of June.

Some bright spark cut through the telephone and broadband lines on the street outside his house , so he had no phone or Internet connection, and..... let me tell you..... he was not impressed!!!! He had to buy a mobile phone to get in touch with people, so he called me a few days before he left.

That he was a little dejected is to put it mildly!!! For one reason or another, Prowler has had so much trouble with his Internet connection this year that he was quite fed up...... so he decided to go back to nature!!

I hope at least that where Scottie is the weather is behaving!!!!

Ciao
