I have no idea what you are going on about

in short, I was trying to tell you that the cowboys from Hollywood you referenced were quite different from those of real life, giving you historical references to support what I wrote. In addition, I was attempting to deviate from the constant trading of insults, (which I confess, i recently broke my own promise to stay away from --but not without being provoked. However, i will resume my lurker status when it comes to such idiocies).

Re: your uncle.

Your uncle was a very lucky man indeed. I do not think Pancho took your uncle's clothes as a joke, Pancho must have seen something good in your uncle's eyes or something along those lines, as he did not shoot him right there on the spot. Instead, he gave your uncle a chance to live by letting him go free to make it to town, as he did. I am happy for him. Pancho was famous for 'shooting first, then ask questions later', regardless of who he shot. This event must have taken place in 1916 or later, see a PM I sent to explain why I think so

Re: Your great aunt.

What a great life to have had! to witness all the events in considerable different periods of history between the time she was alive; above all, to have kept a bright mind and tell about it all... I would have loved to hear her stories as she told them.
