Steve,
Since I know folks have called and emailed you with their contact information with all the goings ons with Katrina and all...
...I also know you are busy being brain dead with College and all - I mean you are OLD now 
...
WE need a story to make us grin, argue, laugh or make fun of you..I shoulda not checked my emails for starters...
Yeah well, okay. I do have these blasted homework projects to do. Having a devil of a time getting one instructor trained - College is hard enough without having to break in a instructor...So while my files download, upload and the Cyber Gremlins mess with everything...
I shoulda used all the monies I literally pissed away on beer and whiskey - settled in TX and bought me a place and had my own Lukenbach.
http://www.luckenbachtexas.com/ Yep - that and I shoulda bought me a bait shop, sold cane poles, sodas, moon pies and one kind of ammo - .22lr. Naturally I'd found me a couple of cuties in short short cut-off jeans and tank tops to work in the place. Figure make my dog the general manager and all...
Figure I could do both, I mean folks entering MY town are most likely gonna need a soda and potty break, 'cause I would be that far removed from any big city. One can learn a lot from reading folks. This would allow me to screen undesirables, these types would get sent down the road to some wretched city where they deserve each other.
I don't want folks in MY town gasping in fright 'cause the Cuties in short short blue jean cutt-off jeans and Tank Tops are Carrying Locked and Cocked 1911s. [ Yes the gals are wearing guns - look at the non exposed flesh areas...now do you see 'em?]
Don't make fun of my Dog, if he wants to make dog farts from the Pork Rinds he had for lunch - not only is it his right to do so - he is the Mgr and all. Think that smell is bad - wait until the next Chili Cook-Off.
I don't give a damn if you want the Toliet Paper hanging "inner" or "outer", 'cause I ain't gonna have a Toliet paper dispenser in the bathroom anyway. Just set the roll back atop the counter when you are finished. Less arguments, hassles that way. Not to mention I ain't gotta take the spindle off the holder and refill it.
MY town is gonna be laid back and simple.
Once you enter town , well...
Everyone else is packing - go on - strap yours on.
Figure have all sorts of good eats.
Live bands playing anything from Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock and Roll. Don't mind the shot up Rice Burner sitting over that away- he blew into town without stopping at the Bait shop first. Bass a thumpin' and loud as thunderclaps. Townfolks turned down the volume permanently - seems the fella was having a hard time finding the volume control. Townfolks real good about assisting folks with difficulties.
Oh that big old barn out yonder? Well gots us a drive in picture show, society went to hell in a handbasket when these dried up - not gonna happen in MY town. Now we have to plan around the fact we use that spot for shooting rifles, shotguns, handguns and most anything else. No - that cannon is a cannon - it is not a decorative cannon - and it is not a BBQ contraption...
We just fire the picture up onto the side of the barn. WE have a helluva party each year just painting that one side...it ain't painted until the kegs float....
Speaking of which - no admission fee for the movie. Now we do charge for the mason jars we sell pre-filled, the eats, and such. You wanna cook your own burger - go ahead on - that is what that big old grill is for. Folks like cooking their own, visiting and such. Got a bunch of them LL Bean balls that make ice cream - kids go on over to the play area, and while playing - make the ice cream.
Just ask the Family folks with kids park up toward the front. Younger folks with dates and all studiying Anatomy and Physiology need the privacy of parking behind you ...
Like live theatre? We we gots that to in the Barn from time to time. Especially when the kids want to participate in "Swiss Family Robinson" - kids have a ball putting that one on...
Speaking of kids, did I mention we have a kid's range. Yep, sure do. We gots guns and ammo for kids, do the teaching, training and such. We just set it up for their age and skill level is all.
We do night shoots too, all sorts of stuff we do at night. Seems the "raccoon in the trash can stage" is right popular.
I got one rule, Respect the Quail.
Now the quail don't take up down by the race track, seems the quail respect folks wanting to race each other...Now the doves, don't know what it is - but many folks head out to the race track to get their limits of doves...
Now while I don't sell anything at the bait shop but .22lr - in town we got a real fine set up. Whaddya want? How much can you carry? Need help to your vehicle? Go on - grab a two-wheeler , that is what they are for.
Guns? How many ya want? Got anything you wanna horsetrade? Need something fixed - gotcha covered big time.
Laid back and simple. Figure most folks don't like meddlin' - so we don't meddle. Less is more I always say - less rules - just remember - respect the Quail.
Yep...Yep...I shoulda, I sure shoulda - but I didn't. Damn 20/20 hindsight has such clarity - ya'll ever notice that?
Well, seems the Cyber Gremlins didn't hi-jack anything this time around.
Gots to plant another seed to that person whom sent that email...Been a few days since someone bought a 28 ga of some kind, I mean I do have my reputation to maintain and all...gonna get blamed anyway...gonna plant a bigger seed...
Oh this is good, I finally get the email notifications to one of my classes...sigh...time to play older returning online class student again...
I shoulda...
