“Why the JUBILATION?” Poe asked.
“Thousandth jubilee of Xiuhtecuhtli’s birth,” Castaneda said.
“Thousand years, spring chicken,” TM jumped in.
“No, 52,000. The thousandth JUBILEE.” Trap sprung, Castaneda’s smirk told a story.
TM mentally calculated (50X1,000=50,000), “Clever, but JUBILEE are 50-year celebrations.
“I figure you wouldn’t know, Xiuhmolpilli, the binding of years, which is 52 years.”
“You got us, trickster,” Raven said.
“Raven, how old are you?” Castaneda asked.
“Not created yet in 1500AD. Born 1845. Ccreee—see—cree.” Raven’s equivalent to a smirk. Trap sprung.
“TM?” Castaneda asked.
“Old as poetry in the hills.” His eye dials jiggled in mirth.
