Hi Harper,
I've enjoyed your wisdom so much!
Dumb question: are you a woman or a man?
No offense meant - you mention wearing your Campfire girl uniform (I was also a 
Campfire girl).
Then you mentioned wanting to become a man by killing a lion.
I have utmost respect for anthropologists and wish I'd taken that route in my 
life.
Maybe it's not too late?
Anxious to hear your reply,
Love,
Mary

  thanks for the links to the diets. These are aspects I never knew before. 
Funny you should send one that mentions the Masai. As a little girl LOOONG ago 
I unwillingly spent a summer in Nigeria. Nigeria was  plunged into civil war.  
I lived every moment in my Campfire  uniform because I had missed summer camp 
over this war. When my father's work was done  he took us all on camera safari 
to east Africa.  I  proudly wore my Campfire girl uniform as we visited each 
tribe saluting them with a WOHELO!

  And then we entered a Masai village on our way to visit an old drinking buddy 
of my dad's. I saw a man in a lion's mane head dress with his wives and wives'  
herd of cows. My father's friend explained that he was a MAN  because he had 
killed a lion, I decided from that moment that when I grew up I would kill a 
lion and become a man.

  Well I never did but I did become an anthropologist. This is fascinating. 
Thanks again.

  Harper
