Geronimo!

I saw part of a public television station series called "We Shall Remain" which is composed of 5 episodes, each dealing (quite well I think) with different events in the history of the American Native People. The fourth episode was about the Chiricahua warrior Geronimo and his relationship with the Apache people he was part of. On the whole it is an incredibly sad story, one that brings shame on those who caused so much harm to entire Native populations.

Anyway, when I saw this photo I took of the sidewalk, it reminded me of Geronimo. His mouth had always a loop-sided expression due to a war wound. So here it is to Geronimo!
