Getting set to have our first annual True West Perservation Society Fandango at the Buffalo Chip, a week from Friday night. I sent an invite to Marshall Trimble and got this reply:

Ashfork Lust
"Hi Bob: March 7th at Buffalo Chip is good for me. Is it all right to bring my girl friend?I just got in late last night from Ash Fork. Spent the day in a snow storm. My new Ash Fork book came out and I went up for a booksigning at the museum. I sat down to sign at 1 and didn't get up until 6:30. The museum sold nearly 200 copies of "Ash Fork." It's part of the "Images of America Series." There were several envious people from Kingman who drove all the way over to get a book. They all said they wished they'd grown up in Ash Fork instead of Kingman. I told them that only a chosen few had that privilege."

Got four eggs today. The little Silkies lay little gum drops, of course Bea-52 and Bea-53 drop the big bombs. Mighty tasty. Hey, anybody want my two extra roosters? They make great pets. Ha. Or, should that be pests? Actually when all three of them get to cock-a-doodle-dooing it sounds like that coyote inspired wah-wahing bit from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

Working hard on Mickey Free's likeness. Have several pages of sketches to post. Will do that tomorrow.
