Yapese magic

Last weekend, I drove our Yapese friends, Theo and Antonia, down to my brother's place in Corvallis, Oregon. It was a lot of fun. It's about a five hour drive from Seattle -- around four from Federal Way, where Theo and Antonia live -- and Theo and I "talked stories" the whole way down, while Antonia sat in the back and chewed betel nut and mostly kept her own counsel.

( Wherein the talk eventually turns to magic )
