What’s been goin’ down?!

For the few of you who might actually check in here semi-often and have ye olde CONSPIRAPORN bookmarked, I just wanted to give a rundown as to what’s been going on in recent months, in regards to the infrequent updates.

 

Long story short: been going through process of moving, have lovely new girlfriend, have been booking and performing a lot of concerts in my home town, and spend most of my online time at FACEBOOK these days (which you can find the link for on the top left hand side of this page or just search MICHAEL A. DYER).

 

I will try to update more often, though have become a bit discouraged by a large amount of broken links here, images not showing up, and decrease in viewership. Though, up, up and away, right? In close, HAPPY HALLOWEEN and I’ll do my best to get back into the swing of things here.

To outsiders their way of life, and certainly their buildings seem odd, bordering perhaps on the bizarre.  Yet for the Dogon, isolated on their plateau, society and architecture evolved in a unique manner.

17 Foot Long Caterpillar Convoy

“This is the moment a group of tiny caterpillars formed an incredible 17ft long convoy to cross a road. Some 136 caterpillars made the single line and wriggled top-to-toe across the road, linked by a thin silk thread which set their path. And their safety-in-numbers approach had the desired effect as the slow-moving convoy was easily seen by motorists, who were held up for 20 minutes as it made its way across. The spectacle was captured on camera by British tourist Jamie Rooney, who was visiting the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa.”
