I will stray from the topic, and explain the signature. Since Lora and I do a lot of long distance trips on a regular basis, and it gets hard to find a good radio station a lot of times, we listen to books on tape. One series of books that I have really gotten fond of, are the Navajo detective series, written by Tony Hillerman. The main reson why Lora and I like them, is that when we go up to Colorado on our late season cow elk hunts, we spend the night in either Albuquerque or Gallup. Then we head on up to Collbran, by going that way, we cross a big chunk of the Navajo Indian Reservation in western New Mexico, and have even went over thru Monument Valley where The Searchers was filmed. If you have ever watched the movie She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, we have been up to and looked in the cabin that was used for the interior shots of John Wayne's quarters. Well in one of the last tapes that we were listening to, that quotation was made about the dog, and I nearly wrecked the explorer. What is really neat, a large portion of the places Hillerman mentions, are real places that we have driven past. On our way back from Collbran, we make it a point to stop at a place between Shiprock and Farmington, that is the oldest operating sheep slaughter station in the southwest, and we buy lamb to take home, and I always get a pound or so of cooked lamb ribs. I love them but they are to strong tasting and greasy for Lora.
Thats a heap sight better than if it went from 14 to 21, now ain't it.
