Camille runs back to the longbranch to get her shotgun.


"I was always told not to leave home without it"

<Author's Note: When Annie Lee found out I had been given those pictures she wanted me to post one.  I didn't have a good computor or a scanner so I couldn't.  She's up there rollin' on the floor laughin' right now. >

<<At least there's no poop in there! >>

If I ever have my head worked on I'll have the Doc make me coppies ta show ya I do have them.  We all know now I have guts.

[Camille Eonich]

Who's head is that and who busted it?

[Silver Creek Slim]

<Arthur's note: I would assume that is Trinity's head. Forty Rod probably busted it.  >

[Trinity]

<<Yeah.  When we were kids, he came running at me with a large knife.  I tried to duck out of the way.  Funny thing... One would think that he would have been punished, but instead, he received a raise in his allowance!>>

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim goes to the barn to gather milch and eggs.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico returns from his trip to Johnson County Newbrassky.  "He Trinity, we gots to go down by Bobstown next year fer the Summer Solstice, they got a platform in an oak tree in the sacred grove that the head Druid can dance on necked."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Yes, Virginia, there are trees in Newbrassssssssssssky." 

[Delmonico]

That was a brome pasture till 1982, when our family fell victum to the J. Sterling Morton Syndrome.   We are doing some small Tall Grass Praire projects in the open areas.

Here is a couple acres of unplowed that Grandpa used for hay, when it was over pastured by the renter in later years the brome came in.  The brome has almost been removed by spraying Roundup when the brome greens up in early spring.  The proper grasses are still dormant then and the rRoundup biodegrades in about 5 days.  Restoring the wildflowers is the next step.

"Yes, Virginia, there are trees in Newbrassssssssssssky." 

Bet they wuz brung in frum somewheres else! 

[Delmonico]

<Author's Note: Accually the 20,000 trees and shrubs planted on that 53 acreas were all grown at the State Nursery, at the north end of TheNebraska National Forerest at Halsey.  This is the largest man planted forest in the world and goes from the Dismal to the Middle Loup and can be seen on most maps.  One will note this forest planted in the 1930's is right across the Dismal from The Ranch With No Name.>

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark hears all this and thinks I'm gonna walk down to the Dismal and where they gonna plant that forrest.

Trinity wakes up on the porch in his hammock with three empty jugs and Sherlene from Mrs. Collingwood's.  The monkey is laying on his back on the steps passed out with an empty jug next to him.  In the yard Frankenbird lies beak down in the dirt and Sheep is sprawled out nearby like a rug... empty jugs litter the yard.  Looks like another successful fourth of July celebration.

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark walks around the yard and flips everybody right side up to see that all are still breathing,  having been down to the river, he has brought some willow bark back for some tea for the headaches.

[Trinity]

Trinity struggles to get out of the hammock and looks sternly at OT.  "Jes' what do you mean with headaches.  Mah stuff don' give no headaches.   

"Uh, OT, whal Ah'm in tha wedgywood room, would you please tell Sherlene that Ah done lef'?"

[Ozark Tracker]

mis Sherlene was a starting for town just a while a go,  she was proped over on ole  frankenbird, a kinda using him as a crutch. she said she'd being a seeing ya later.

[Trinity]

Trinity grimaces at Sherlene's promise.

[Ozark Tracker]

[Trinity]

Trinity blushes and runs into the kitchen.
