One down side to living in a teepee is that you almost always have to deal with all the museum-goers gawking at you everyday day...

not round here You don't

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Of course, the only 'skins who pitched their tipis in museums were really well paid, and managed a fair amount of hanky-panky after closing hours.

Seriously, i've lived in a tipi during a whole winter and parts of others, and if you're well prepared, it's a dream.  Best sex ever.

When i was younger than now, but after the big bang, i made tipis for a living.  My boss, Dary Wood, was the designated post Laubin tipi-maker and i sewed tipis, on a double-stitch machine, for Albert Grossman (Dylan's manager) and blues singer Taj Mahal.  Guess i'm one of the few people in the world who can say they've made a tipi for the Taj Mahal.

PS Helen, thanks for the photos of Dijon.  They capture a glimpse of the beauty and craftsmanship of the failed foundation of the West, which is now being reborn as a beacon for the future, however haltingly, but for real.

I also lived in a tipi, though it was as an infant. We lived in a tipi that my father made from cedar poles he cut in on a neighbors property. It was fine for a while.... until my mother discovered a rattlesnake in the cupboard and demanded a cabin. I think we were in it for over a year.
