Dolomite ( /ˈdɒləmaɪt/) is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2. The term is also used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock dolostone.
Now dolomite has also been found in high saline parts of the Coorong in South Australia. It is the manganese that gives the rock the pink colour that seems to be golden in the morning light.
Dolomite is used to make concrete which you can see mine areas all along the road into Cortina.
Apparently Cortina is very much liked by the wealthy families because there is only one way in and out, and so kidnapping is uncommon, if this fact is true they need help, and l presume it was before helicopters were flying.
The kin folk of Cortina parade around not only in full length furs , but also weird party dress's that look like dolls dress's or something out of a German kids story book. Now l accept this may have been rather normal back centuries ago, but today? These people obviously have not ventured down the only road in and out over the years and are in some kind of time warp.
Ohh l found out why some hot chocolates are so thick, they add flour, that has ruined it for me now.
The town of Cortina has some very wonderfully designed living spaces in the old style buildings here. The buildings are all white with wooden verandas and railing, all done with some kind of decorative design , mostly 3-4 stories high, with an attached wooden storeroom for the animals and workshop of years past. They have a railed area for veggie gardens in summer, and metal roofs with the railing to stop the snow sliding off. What l have noticed which is very illustrative of Italy is that many buildings are un occupied due to safety reasons or have not been up dated for 30 -40 years. And though they walk around in their furs, which are also often 30 -40 years old ( thank god for the animals) they are broke, and this is Italy.
I am thinking and I'll need this proven scientifically , that the reason for the orange faces is due to the drinking of the local water which is very tasty, having a high amount of manganese in it and when the sun hits their faces they go a golden orange colour , this of course is heightened when they wear their umpler umpler suits.
Now l may be going into difficult territory here, but my feeling from meeting several groups of people here is that the women have got some grave issues, and have a hostile nature , this may be due to the fact that the Botox and surgical ventures have seized their facial manners, or the chemicals have got into the blood and made them go a bit goofy. That said l find most men quite normal and casual, but the fact they stay with these beasts begs the thought that they too suffer from something. I should add that this is about the regular inhabitants not the passing trade. Though l have started to hold back from drinking the tasty water.
I swear today when l was walking down the main strip, it was as if l had accidentally warped myself to Spain and was watching the running of the bulls, l have never ever seen so much fur, or animal hide.
