Boy, Sorch, I'm sure glad we live in the American West, in towns that are civil and civilized. Why, do you know that I haven't toted my .44s in just ages? And my sawed-off shotgun hasn't been used in so long I think the shells wouldn't even work!

I'm sure glad we live in The Wild West and not in some place like the UK, where they get all testy if they don't "have a man for breakfast." I understand that corpses just litter the streets and gunfights and stabbings are so common no one remarks on them anymore.

I was thinking of visiting there next year, but now I'm too afraid to do so.
