I had a long one in Scottsdale today. Drove down to introduce Calamity Jane (1953) at the Scottsdale Museum of the West. Had fun, drove back, fighting my way up Scottsdale Road. Had a taco at La Cocina, then picked up Uno at Doggy Daycare, and drove home, catching this late afternoon shot on Spur Cross Road. . .
When we first went on the Copper Canyon Railway back in 1992, we were struck by the Tarahumara Indians in the area of Divisadero.
(They've got legs and they know how to use them)
Old postcard (1907?) from Chihuahua, Mexico. The Tarahumara are famous for their mountain long-distance running and endurance and these guys seem to be stripped for action at all times.

"Mr. Bell is absolutely my hero. He is the absolute best and he speaks our language and can communicate with anyone wether young or old. Btw... I'm not a 'gun guy' either but the information I find here and learn from Mr. Boze and you guy's in the comments is absolutely fascinating and enlightening! Thank you

Okay, I know I can be a little picky when it comes to watching a Western, especially with other people. That's why I love this quote:
"I enjoy watching an adaptation of something I've read, because I get to be the obnoxious guy going, 'No, no, they're combining these two characters, it's all wrong!' My wife loves it when I do that."
—Gary Gulman, the standup comedian, in The New Yorker, facetiously riffing on guys like me
I haven't been able to watch The Searchers since I read the book, which must be going on 10 years now.
