Broken down in Tucson

Well our old (97) Dodge broke down in Tucson. We were taking Kate's horses to a new home for a while in Marana, outside Tucson. The rear differential on the truck sort of ate itself. It needs to be rebuilt and it may take a couple of days to get it done.

We wanted to be back in Denver by Tuesday, it doesn't look like we will make it back until Thursday. And that's if they get the parts in tommorrow, if not it will be longer. Next truck will be a Toyota.

Kate the Great said...: Hah! The only reason why this truck has lasted for 10 years is because it has a new engine, new front and rear ends (this differential has been replaced previous to this problem) and a whole lot of money has been invested into it for it to keep running. It's junk.; 9:09 PM

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
