Wake up people, this is what a lot of kids are doing these days.
I would not allow my daughter to be baptized. I feel like kids need our super support when they end up in trouble. They don't need to be shunned.

I visited the saloon where Wild Bill Hickok was shot down holding aces and eights.
Gregor, that is cool. Wild Bill Hickok also stayed at the St. James Hotel I posted about. Thanks for the picture of Deadwood and your experiences there:
Deadwood
(By Eric Taylor)
Well, the good times scratched a laugh
From the lungs of the young men
In a Deadwood saloon, South Dakota afternoon
And the old ones by the door
With their heads on their chests,
They told lies about whiskey on a womans breath
Yes, and some tell the story of young Mickey Free
Who lost an eye to a buck deer in the Tongue River Valley
Oh and some tell the story of California Joe
Who sent word through the Black Hills
There was a mountain of gold
[Chorus:]
And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
And the sun she sets down on the trees
And they thank the Lord
For the land that they live in
Where the white man does as he pleases
Some flat-shoed fool from the East comes a-runnin'
With some news that he'd read in some St. Joseph paper
And it was "Drinks all around" cause the news he was tellin'
Was the one they called Crazy
Has been caught and been dealt with
And the Easterner he read the news from the paper
And the old ones moved closer so's they could hear better
"Well it says here that Crazy Horse
Was killed while trying to escape,
And that was some time last September,
It don't give the exact date"
[Chorus]
Where the white man does as he pleases
Then the talk turned back to whiskey and women
And cold nights on the plains, Lord
And fightin' them indians
And the Easterner he says he'll have one more
'fore he goes
He gives the paper to the Crow boy
Who sweeps up the floor
[Chorus]
Where the white man does as he pleases
Where the white man does as he pleases
As he wants to, as he pleases -

Cimarron, NM is a tiny town with a BIG history. There is a hotel there, now called the St. James, that still has bullet holes from gunfights. And the fighters, outlaws and lawmen were famous:
http://centerofthewest.org/2014/07/30/buffalo-bill-st-james-hotel-cimarron-new-mexico/
“it was a favored place for lawmen, outlaws, and everyone in between"
Then:
Modern times:
Here is one of the bullet holes, still in the ceiling of what was the saloon, but is now the dining room:
"Twenty-two bullet holes still reside in the saloon’s tin ceiling, attesting to the rowdiness of the place. A common question asked was: “Who was killed at Lambert’s(St. James) last night?”
Part of the lobby
.
There are fourteen rooms named for the outlaws, lawmen and celebrities that used them:
The Jesse James room
The Pancho Griogo room:
The Buffalo Bill Cody room:
Annie Oakley suite
It is said that Buffalo Bill Cody bought tricycles for the town children, so they could ride up and down the porch of the hotel. It is also said that he came up with his plans for his famed Wild West Show, while a guest at the St. James Hotel
Here is a nice page about both the St. James Hotel and the Taos Pueblo, where the Red Willow (Taos Pueblo's moder Indian population) people live to this day:

Take a trip out west and you'll expect the calavry to come riding in or an Indian to shoot a flaming arrow from behind a rock. The first time I went to Ft. Davis, Texas in the Davis Mountains, it felt and looked just like a western movie or TV show. I recommend visiting Fort Davis, TX and Cimarron, NM.
You drive across the desert on Hwy 17 and off in the distance you can see the Davis Mountains:
Be sure to get a room here if you visit, at least for one of the nights. Its just like Miss Kitty's place in Gunsmoke. The rooms anyway. We loved our stay there: http://www.hotellimpia.com/
There is a wonderful observatory out side of town in the mountains.
Time lapse of the night sky from the observatory:
The stars at night, really are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas.
This is the Indian Lodge, outside of town:

Punkofnice, would you like to travel back in time to 1888 Deadwood South Dakota? Listen to this song and get a taste of what it would have felt like on a lazy afternoon in a Deadwood saloon. This music and story are how it still feels in the small towns outwest.
You're going to smile ear to ear. I promise. Very atmospheric. It's called Deadwood and it is by Nanci Griffith. It was written by her former husband Eric Taylor. This was recorded in 1988.

I collect historic firearms and look upon it mostly as an investment. Most of them can't be shot, but they double in value approximately every 8 - 10 years.
My paternal grandfather had one full wall in his basement filled with antique and historic firearms. He also built replica Civil War cannons, steam engines and scale locamotives and train cars with tracks, from scratch. One of his trains is in a museum.

I like collecting magnets because they are fun, portable and easy to keep clean. My kids and made magnets when they were growing up as well. The watermelon ones are a couple from those times.
Just some of my magnet collection. I have collected more since these pictures were taken. I had some pigs that would fall off and their ears would break off.
