It could be my "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."

This last thing grew out of a Weird West novel I'm in the midst of (cowboys, vampires, and Old West Wizards), also starring Rudabaugh, and the more research I did into his life, the more that story begged to be told. The man rode with Billy the Kid and Mysterious Dave Mather, he was hunted by Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and Pat Garrett, the entire town of Las Vegas tried to overturn the train he and the Kid were on to lynch him, and his entire legacy has been boiled down to a ridiculous performance (that I love) by Christian Slater in Young Guns II.

So that's how I spent my Pandemic Vacation. (less)

Coming Aug 13: THE MOSTLY TRUE STORY OF RUDABAUGH AND WEBB

When the railroad came to Las Vegas, the outlaws came with it.

In 1879, Las Vegas, NM, was a town divided by progress. On one side, the original Mexican settlers; on the other, the new arrivals seeking their fortune in the lawlessness of the growing New Town. Right away, crime crossed the river.

During this time, the most-wanted outlaw in the New Mexico Territory was Dave Rudabaugh, sometimes called Read more of this blog post »

Francesco Marciuliano
“On the edge of a laughing teacup
Did Kubla Kat decree
The the corn fritter festooned with medals
Shall make the brownies free
And so the walls turned to water
To let our sorrows drown
As the chairs burned themselves for warmth
So they need not face the clown
Then the spoons burst into song
And all the forks they understood
As I stared at my talking claws
Becasue this catnip is just that good”
Francesco Marciuliano, I Could Pee on This: and Other Poems by Cats

“They say there are
Twenty-four hours in a day
But I'm only up for three of them
And two I consider overtime”
