Idaho Druids: Between the damage by the soda springs fire, ongoing roadwork burying caches, all the horses are gone now, to residents just taking caches, it's time to archive.

According to the Boshongo of Zaire, Bumba is the creator of all animals, including man, who inhabit the Congo region. Only the witch doctors of certain tribes have seen Bumba and they give conflicting reports of his appearance to confuse the uninitiated. He may resemble a chieftain of one of the forest tribes, although of immensely greater stature. Bumba appeared magically at the beginning of the world, he vomited up nine creatures which became the ancestors of fish, birds, reptiles and mammals. He examined the creatures and felt they lacked something, so he vomited once more, this time creating a two-legged animal which had powers denied to all the others. He made strict rules for the behavior of all his creatures, but one of them, the female Tsetse Bumba, refused to obey them. Bumba banished her from the earth, sending her to the sky, and although he could destroy her he allows her to exist because she caused the lightning which gave fire to mankind.
