Weird Story: Yesterday an old man who looked like Santa Claus came into the cafe for soup. His name is Rusty Gun, he has an enormous white beard, a big black belt, and a giant walking cane about as tall as Jack. When we asked how he was doing, he said good but pointed at me to say, "I'd be better if I were looking at you all day". He spent the next 20 minutes talking to Christoffel about some radical utilitarianism book, but poor Jack got sucked into conversation when he found out that he is from Canada. He said if he were just 40 years younger he would be chasing me down, to which Jack said he would be fighting back hard. The guy is harmless, it's just creepy because he is serious. Jack had to sit and learn about his hippy days selling drugs for sex and riding buses around North America. The man is crazy. Funny experience, though.

Nieva is outside! They brought her to Waihi for the day so she could rest her leg. She has been limping for a couple days. More pictures!
