A little off topic but a great Christmas story for the boys, and one you'll enjoy.
HereÆs a true story that happen just yesterday in the Littleton, Colorado area, not the usual Columbine
thing again.
I was reading the local paper this morning and about 7-8 pages front the front was a small article about a Hair Saloon being robbed last night around 6:30 PM.
I took a second look at the address, hell thatÆs the wifeÆs place she goes to, and weÆre going there after work for her to get her hair trimmed. The article didnÆt give much detail other than the bad guys where white in their late twenties.
When she goes for her hair cuts, trims, etc., I usually sit in the truck and watch the young ladies go in and out of the shop, a pleasing past time and with the dark windows you donÆt get the dirty looks. I know "dirty old man".
Well tonight I had to go in to hear about what happened last night, the young lady at the counter was more than willing to tell her exciting tale.
HereÆs what happened: there where about a half dozen gals counting the ones that work there, busy with whatever they do in these places - when two white males wearing sunglasses come into the place. They sit down watch what's going on then pull guns (still sitting) and have everyone line up in front of them, they collect all the money and credit cards, then the good part.
These young gentlemen are thinkers, they have the whole group disrobe, putting their clothes on a sheet. They have everyone stand in a group and bring out a digital camera and take a few pictures. They thanks all the ladies, gather up the money, credit cards and the clothes and walk out.
The young lady said the first thing they did was lock the door, turn out the lights and hide behind the counter. Finally someone says ôcall the copsö, but decided to call their spouces first for clothes then call the police.
She said after being clothed and the police came, they had decided the insurance would cover everyoneÆs losts and when questioned gave a very bland description of the holdup men.
She said they where worried about the police getting hold of those pictures, more than those guys being caught.
She figured they could have walked 10 miles before the cops got there.
"Damn it, a day late and dollar short again".
Later,
Buck Conner

Mr. Summers,
I agree with the Captain that your remarks are illuminating
and perceptive. I refer to your question "what experience of living in the
mountains prepared these men for leaving the mountains and
forming a cooperative alliance that carried American
history to another level?"
Without a doubt, the attributes that MM develop while living in
the mountains would be welcome in any organization. However,
I respectfully submit that MM are INHERENTLY leaders whether in
the mountains or in corporate America. I believe that all MM, from
all walks of life and all levels of skills, AMM or no,
represent the cream of the crop of the men in America and will be
called to leadership positions to "carry American history to another level"
in America's difficult years ahead.
Mr. Quilter, I second Mr. Robert's thank you for your
gracious words and sound perspective. Please bless us again
with your thoughts.
Texan

Thanks much!!! I had saved a bunch of stuff on winter camping, and blankets,
and hunting pouches etc, and losing them was the worst thing about losing
that durn drive. Everything else I could replace. Thanks again.
