Trinity looks at what Sod Buster prepared and frowns: "It don' walk, crawl or slither, so Ah don' wan' it!"

Sounds like what my cousin said once:  "If it don't bleed, I don't eat it."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico got up eary and went to the wholesale grocery area, down by the river south of downtown.  (Where Con-Agra Headquarters is today )  He visits several wholesalers and places orders to be shipped by train to Dunning.  His work here over he heads to the train station and graps a seat on the west bound CB&Q.

Then Irish holds hiz stomach an moans a little, Hey Slim did Del leave behind enny a thet caster oil?

Slim pours himself a cup of coffee. "The castor oil is in the cupboard to the right of the cookstove. It's in the little clear bottle without a label."

In the dining car, Delmonico orders the Rocky Mountian Trout, stuffed with wild rice, brussel sprouts and a hunk of cheese cake.  When the trout gets there he knows it's fresh cause it looks back at him.  He takes the lttle fork and removes the delicate cheek meat first.

<<Alas, I must argue.    What do you think the white stuff is when you cut into a head of lettuce?  To the vegetarians of the world, I say: Just 'cause it ain't red, don't mean it ain't blood.  It serves the same purpose, don't it?>>

Trinity walks in from the porch where had been enjoying the unseasonably mild evening, and looks around the kitchen.  "Dern!  No food!"

He searches and finds a can of beans and then looks around for another piece of paper with squigley marks with which to start a fire.  "Dangumm it.  Thayre's usually one of them papers rotch here on tha table!  Jest how is Ah 'posed ta start me tha stove?"

after seeing the obsenities on my cattle, I canceled the order for the coal...Instead I hook up the light wagon and head into the prarie to gather up Buff Chips. Using a running iron on another man's cattle usually get you hung, but thing the low BTU fuel source, should be pay back enough

Trinity looks over at the new picture of Delmonico hanging on the wall.  "Wail, that proves it!  Ah always knowed that he were puttin' grass clippin's in tha food!"

Being PC wouldn't that be Loco weed

[Trinity]

<<No, it's just yard grass.  It'll probably mess you up even more!>>

[Delmonico]

Delmonico finds a place to camp before dark, while fillin' his coffe pot in the Dismal, he spots some trouts 9 inches long or so in the pool.  He smiles and knows they took, they'll be smiling and lookin' back from a plate next summer.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim puts on a fresh pot of coffee. He goes out to collect milch and eggs.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets up amd makes breakfast, for somethin' different he has boughten some smoked hog jowls which he slices and frys up, mixing it with leftover taters from supper last night.  Yep, he has hog jowl hash fer breakfast.

After that he hitches the team and heads for the ranch.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets to the ranch, puts the mules and wagon in the barn and heads to the house.  He gets there, opens the door and says, "I'm home, whats going on around here?"

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim comes in with the milch and eggs. "Not much. Seems everyone headed fer the hills 'cept me." "Did ya find all the dry goods ya was lookin' fer?"

[Delmonico]

"I wern't lookin' fer dry goods, I was grocery shoppin'."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Alright, smarty pants, did ya find all the groceries ya was shoppin' fer?" 

[Delmonico]

"Yep, they should be here Monday."
