Capt. Hamp Cox!.....I'm Calling you

[Doc Middleton]

up to the bar to have a round on me.
I'm jus gitting back in town and ain't heard much news yet.
Hows' your back doing? You mending up well I hope.
Me? It' gitting hard for an old outlaw like me to make a living and stay ahead of them law dogs. And I'm telling you, Good help is gitting hard to find.
I been thinking of gitting one of them easy  Gov-er-mint jobs and settlin' down after I get one of them pardons from the Governor and promise to do right.

How bout another round?

Doc

Darn it, Doc, you went and woke me up.  Thought you knew better'n that.  Since IÂ’m up now, I might as well have a drink if you're buying.  Seems like I bought the last one anyhow.  Things shure been slow on this here wire lately.

Been out of the ol neck brace for about three weeks now, and finally getting to where I donÂ’t feel like my headÂ’s going to fall off.  My doc says I can do most anything I want, ‘cept lift stuff over my head.

Getting my covered wagon (RV) ready for a short trip next weekend.  Going to Mason, TX for the second annual Mason County War Symposium.  Still not sure what symposium are, but I know three of them symposium fellers on the panel.  Really enjoyed it last year, and looking forward to this yearÂ’s event.

Had one of them guvment jobs for 29 years, and thatÂ’s probably why IÂ’m falling apart physically.  Wouldn't recommend it.
