That bust is pretty cool.

Diggit! All carved from wood? What is the device between the elephant at the very left and the bust?

Fireball, that's a Talking Drum. It has two drum heads made from goat skin that are connected with the wound strands of leather that you see. The drum is held under the armpit and squeezed with the arm, alternating the pitch as it is struck.

Ah yes, the jar. That’s fire water from Tennessee. A rather sinister souvenir that makes you feel invisible and dance funny.

Latest selfie. A bit pale, and lighting doesn't help, but it comes with the season.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
