My current obsession is the birding and wildlife trails of Texas. I'm trying to visit them all. There are 9 of them, some with over 100 sites. This may take a while...

Day 21: Evil Eye
I'm in Louisiana tonight. I had originally planned to drive home, but when I began nodding off at the wheel I decided it was less expensive to pay for a room than to buy a new car.
I noticed the the girl at the check-in counter looking at me a little sideways as she checked for available rooms. "Is your necklace watching me?"
"It's my evil eye."
She began telling me about a friend's mother that is apparently into voodoo.
"This is not black magic. It goes all the way back to ancient Greece and is actually worn for protection. I just like unusual jewelry."
I have found myself wearing it when I play poker, though. Can't have too many eyes on those people...

ha. does it help with poker....i may need to get a few....it is a really cool piece...
Keeping an eye on them eh! I dont think Ive ever seen one like that before. (except as ancient carvings)
LOL to your poker comment, but yes, I always viewed it as protection too. I enjoy unusual jewelry as well and that is very neat!
