No, I've been in a "Leadership Summit" that hasn't yet told me anything I didn't know.

Except...Jim Rogers' Ranch House is a simple little place: fireplace, concert grand piano, gold-plate and engraved "James Arness" commemorative Colt .45s in hand-tooled holsters slung over a hand-tooled saddle with genuine silver bullets in the bullet loops of the gunbelt, a few well-chosen Western-themed paintings from unknown artists like Fred Remington and Chuckie Russell on the walls, several other saddles including one sporting a LOT of silver filigree and conchos, the occassional bronze statue with a Western theme...all in a house bigger than most churches. Just a typical, lower-end, Pocatello home....

(And Mom -- what I've just written in the above paragraph is absolutely true and doesn't even begin to describe the half of it. The man even has his outhouse inside, just like the Legion Hovel, only his isn't just a hole in the ground! The pistols were found by the city's risk manager who wanted to seize them as a risk hazard.)
