OH another note on Sirringo. Whether he infiltrated the wild bunch or not. There is little doubt he was ordered to pursue them. Some Historians say, he did have a cover they knew him by. Most, which I agree say he simply pursued.

I think this is an fairly accurate accounting of it, and afterwards with the Pinkertons. LIke most western legends, he is probably inflated, but still deserves a notable footnote


Around the turn of the century, Siringo spent four years pursuing the famous Wild Bunch at the behest of the railroad companies angered by the gangs' repeated train robberies. Siringo traveled more than 25,000 miles around the West chasing after Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and other gang members. When Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fled to South America, the Pinkertons finally forced Siringo to abandon the case.

In 1907, Siringo left the Pinkertons and turned again to writing about his past adventures. In 1912, he published A Cowboy Detective, an account of his 20-year career as a detective. Three years later, Siringo attacked the often violent and illegal Pinkerton methods he had witnessed in Two Evil Isms: Pinkertonism and Anarchism. Legal threats from the Pinkertons forced him to eliminate such overt attacks from his subsequent books, and he instead returned to the Wild West themes that had won him his first success.

I wanted to say I really am liking the posts that all the PC(s) have made. I love Temperance and the Twins. The establish marriage of Dr and Clementine.  I think Temperance and the twins is a really interesting read.

Even Battles, I can almost hear John Wayne in his older years as he is talking to Molly. "That is right Sister"

Thanks for the compliment. You know I think you're writing style is terrific. Jennings is a complicated character and you’re doing great job bringing him to life.

Funny I thought I'd miss writing Lian Ting Li (my personal comedy relief)
but the girls are a riot. I think about what they can say or do next and I literally start laughing out loud. Funny Farm here I come.

When it comes to the voice on Ranger Battles.I hear Kurt Russell as Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China.

Jack Burton: Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and he says, 'Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.'


Mav sounds to me like John Wayne in McLintock

George Washington McLintock: You've caused a lot of trouble this morning pilgrim, might have got somebody killed. Somebody oughta belt you in the mouth but I wont, I wont, the hell I wont.

hey everyone... need to apologize for not being around the last couple days.....  I'm moving today and have been real busy getting things ready and fixing a car to get it moved too. I will be spotty on here at best for the next few days. Don't get internet at the new place till monday and I hate using my phone to post.

"Go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave. Or check into a psycho ward whichever comes first huh?"

Happy move-in day! Hope everything connects and none of the little bits and pieces get lost in the shuffle.  ;-)

I'm taking Saturday off -- real life prevails. Clementine will have breakfast on the table on Sunday, I hope. In the meanwhile I'm wishing everyone a 'feel good' and 'happy weekend'.

Check this out, in case you haven't seen it before:

He was "...fascinated by the memory of how terrible and wonderful the raw West had been to him.  It had been that which had won him... and now he regarded the stronger and primitive in him more desirable then any development he might have had in the East.  The thing had to be gone through to be understood."

Zane Grey, "The Hash Knife Outfit," 1929.

Número uno ....visit the Pinkerton Office

Número dos.... visit the Doc.

Número tres ...visit the Bank.


What do you think? Did they use bank books in 1875? When I was a kid they sure did. But last time I looked I wasn't nearly that old. lol

I'll give you and the Doctor your time, Clementine.  But I am doing my own thing with the Marshal that doesn't require fully the Doctor and the shawl... ;)

You go, girl!

A bit confused about how you plan to proceed, Clem. Becky accepted the shawl from the Doctor 3 days ago from my understanding. She thanked him. Of course there's been no mention of anyone physically taking it and wrapping it around Becky yet...

Yes, she thanked the doctor, then turned her attention to Cyrus to take it for her.  I figure there's no problem with Clementine stepping in at that point.

The posting happened fairly quickly by my reckoning with my turn passed over, although the others in the scene might rightly say that I was slow to post and there was no reason for them to expect that I would post or for them to wait to see what Clementine might do.

Since Ramsey entered into the portion of the house where Clementine was, it seemed to me likely that she heard him and the rest which I wrote followed from there. I am not saying that Ramsey  did not present the shawl to Rebecca. I am asking for a moment to capture the conversation that passed between husband and wife before Ramsey re-entered the office with the shawl; especially because there has not been too much added since Becky accepted the shawl.

However, I can delete Clementine's most recent post just as easily as not. Whatever suits you and my fellow players is fine with me.

I do jump in fast sometimes, and I apologize.  If you prefer to meet him prior to entering the room, then I will edit Becky to not mention the shawl.  You'll have to get our good doctor to go along, but I am fine with waiting on this.  Besides, Cyrus hasn't replied to my two posts, so this will give him more time to reply to me.

There, I deleted hers.  Now, if the Doctor edits his so he is not handing off the shawl, then we'll be good.

Sorry RL kept me busy this weekend, will try to get an IC post in soon.

Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary. My husband insists that I power down the computer and spent the entire day with him, which it is my pleasure to do! No posts from me until late Tuesday. So sorry for any inconvenience caused.

In reply to Rebecca O'Dell (msg # 292):

All set. Good to go. Thanks, Becky.

Lordy, lordy, Ramsey, my love! It seems you are coming undone! I never meant to distress you so much.

~Your Clementine

You know it took me a moment to grasp what Clem was saying... until I re-read the quote and noticed a very important "typo".  ;)

I got a good chuckle from that (although the unintended imagery is kind of disturbing when you think about it).  ;)

Very disturbing.  Its why I am so very careful of what Rebecca says, even if she isn't. :)  Wouldn't want her saying the wrong thing, now...
