"Aren’t we all doing this, if not all the time, at least some of the time? Aren’t we doing this now?"
I enjoy all of your posts, but sometimes you really get to the heart of it. It was great to meet you and talk in person, and my condolences once again. I'm sipping a diamond of bourbon myself. I'll have to try Baller; I'll admit the name turned me off, I mistook it for that bourbon - colored vodka for people who don't like whiskey but want to look like they are drinking whiskey.
There were carpenter bees flying in and out of holes in the yellow siding of the Mexican BBQ joint we ate at while we talked for four hours straight.
You take wonderful photos. I'm glad the birds joined you at Timbuctoo. And I'm glad it's well tended. It's history we can't afford to lose again.
Wonderful post. And some interesting trivia re: that headstone for Charles H. Love. The sign says he received an "Indian Wars Medal" as a member of the Tenth Cavalry. Which means that was for chasing the Apaches in the SW, or, since he served all the way until 1894, most certainly my direct ancestors on the Northern Plains. History is a tangled, not ancient thing out here.
I hope you are hanging in there. I'm happy you and Thomas got to meet.
