Really appreciate the source, pard. Good luck on that Masters. I’ll be going that direction or a Psych PhD program here in about a year.

I love that quote from the Shootist

I’m a religion studies and psychology dual major, and this in turn made me interested in psychology of religion, especially as explored by the perennial American philosophy of the Pragmatists like William James . Getting to the point: I want to do a paper on the theme of the Frontier thesis and how it may have helped shape keenly American philosophers or religious sects. If any of you have some good recommendations beyond William James or the other pragmatists you explore, I’m all open. They could be cowboys, poets, artists or whoever, anyone that’s had vaguely metaphysical or spiritual thoughts about the American frontier or character shaped by it.

I know I’ve only made it to two shoots this year, my first time btw. I have the opportunity to go full-time right now at the treatment center I work at. As I could really use the money and am in the middle of the school year, I’m going to have to say so long to all you wonderful Cowfolk until next year. Hopefully I’ll have my dad’s house sold by then and I’ll be rejoining you all with a new lever gun in the Spring. I wanted to thank you all showing a 36 year-old rookie a good introduction to SASS. See you all next year!

Turkish coffee from some Saudi roommates I once had. I was hearing colors after a few cups.

It’s actually on the Wikipedia list of movies made at Old Tucson!

You guys huginkiss your sisters? Normally I respect all cultures but...

Do any of you pay much attention to the look of more historic looking hats or maybe the styles or regional inspirations for the pinches, brims and crowns? I don’t know what major difference a wrangler, gunslinger, or outlaw would want in a hat from the NW like Wyoming to to the more middle plains states. I can kind of guess the Southwest tends to favor low cut bolero styles for the lighter weight? I’m just rambling, but I noticed as I’m growing my hair out, my cheap gambler hat doesn’t fit very well anymore.

This was going to be one of my stops when I was eventually going to take that trip West in a few years to hit matches on the road. I'm really saddened by this. I have to feel even worse for those that it was part of their community.

I wasn’t sure what I would do about that if I looked at a Spencer. I’m coming into a large chunk of change in the next two months and on the fence about a ‘66, ‘73 or Spencer.

I’m already scared of taking too long once I get both cap guns to the next match.

Seamus you will of course have that honor, after which I’ll bring copious shop rags for your drool.
