Regarding : @Shirley Martin post owlhoots in the hoosegow! This is a much used phrase in southern speak....as it was once used in the wild west. These are people who stay up way too late getting themselves in trouble and ending up in jail.
Faye Earp already knows this, but for the rest of you: The Sheriff and her Deputies wear Silver badges. The US Marshal wears a Gold Badge. The bandit "Gold Hat" doesn't have to show you ANY stinkin' badges! Hal the Scowl (A man from Dodge is comin' today to tune my Piano)
Jan. 21, 2020 Shortly before Breakfast Early this morning, I was summoned to court for an emergency session regarding an armed apparition. My uniform was drying so I donned my shorts and tank. Pony Express had delivered my new custom concho belt the day before. It is stunning using silver sheriff stars for the conchos. Judge Nono Nanette, known for her NO NO's as she slams the gavel, presided. Court sessions are held early before her mercantile shop hours. While there is no law in Faeville about changing into an apparition, there is a strict law forbidding banishing firearms while in this altered state. Eagle and Mrs. flew into to keep a watchful eye on the proceeding. Doc Lois testifies on the medical issues involved that might cause an apparition to take up firearms. I hold back the undertaker Lon, who is anxious to testify his expertise on the living to apparitions transformation that cheats him of funerals. Lon was summoned before he could photograph his breakfast of wild turkey eggs and country-fried Jackrabbit steak with a side of candied de-prickled prickly pear cactus. I will miss seeing that breakfast. A presence is felt in the courtroom. Judge Nono Nanette rules that Baby Face Hal will receive experimental injections from Doc Lois until such time that he disarms himself when in apparition state.
I see Sir Hal has his posse ready!! Nice picture! Time for everyone to come wet their whistles.............
Does that include the stranger that blew into town yesterday. The one looking for two women.. the one trying to pick up the pieces of a wasted life. He'll have a root beer or an orange squash as he is on the wagon. Can he confide in you saloon owner Bess?
Thank you so much @Faye Fox !!! This is such a lovely thought! I wish we could all really get together and kick back at the saloon. Maybe not to drink, but just hang out.
Jan. 23, 2020 06:55 hours PST I officially shut the door on Faeville this morning. I am getting too old to fulfill my daunting duties. I found it a ghost town and now return it to the apparitions of times long past. May they R.I.P.
