It was cold tonight. Damn cold, as a matter of fact. Down to about 4 deg. F out there with winds howling.
What better way to spend a nasty winter evening than to watch John Wayne in "True Grit" with my new pal, "Joaquin Murietta"? We seem to have bonded, I'm afraid. I swear I heard him chuckle when The Duke says "Why, by God, girl, that's a Colt's Dragoon! You're no bigger than a corn nubbin, what're you doing with all this pistol? "
Technically...it's a Walker in the movie, but technically a Walker is a "dragoon"...a Horse Pistol. So while technically he's wrong, technically he's right.
Anyway, this particular Dragoon seemed to enjoy the movie as much as I did. Maybe more. I like a pistol that will sit down and watch a whole movie without complaining. Now, if I can just teach him to drink whiskey...
