Volume 14 - Day 191/174, 2020 - Sunday

Billy the Kid never robbed a train or a bank. Unlike other Old West outlaws, he didn't make his living as a bandit. He stole the occasional horse, but never once held up a bank, train, or even a stagecoach. Outside his gunfighting days with the Regulators, his main criminal enterprise was rustling cattle on the New Mexico plains. His very first arrest  was for stealing clothes off a clothesline. He did however. kill at least nine men in his lifetime. Mike and I made it back to Georgetown this afternoon, and we picked up the girls about 4 o'clock. It is good to be home, and Mike leaves for his home in Florida tomorrow morning at 6AM. That means, we need to leave here at FOUR A.M., and I don't even want to think about what time that means we have to get up. I will take him to the airport and then come back home, maybe go back to bed, but then it will be back to the office. I will have one more post tomorrow about Las Cruces, and then I will revery to complaining about the heat and lack of rain in central Texas.
