And the #cousin of the #imbiss - the #internetcafe - #oldwest #Berlin
What are the odds!? Deeper in the stack of Ranch Romances I brought home, I uncovered this. So now I three pubs in the western-ish genre with coffee pots on the cover.
I’m a happy camper.

Something seemingly obvious I was missing for years, and now I am looking for explanation.
An archetypical scene from a #WesternMovie is, when a #BountyHunter delivers a heap of (ususally dead) villains to a local #sheriff, claiming huge amount of money as promised by publicly distributed wanted posters.
Now, I am curious about the economics behind that system. The #OldWest was running rather slow #money #circulation, and local reserves of cash were small. A public bounty posters, accumulated in any given sheriff's office, if cashed en masse, would easily kill local bank liquidity. On the other hand, waiting for a train or wagon to bring more money was probably not practical for a hunter who just killed someone with friends in the heigbourhood.
So, any of you #history buffs can explain how it worked in reality?
Finished Tempest, the last book in the Old West series from Beverly Jenkins. I loved this series, and while I wasn't a fan of all the leads, it was incredibly well written and addressed so many issues minorities and women faced in the old west territories.
This dress has some history. I’ll tell the full story slowly here. For now, it’s two most recent appearances- National Women’s show #ottawa in 2021 ( #stillMasking), and the last Halloween party we attended in 2019 as a ghost bride.

Finished listening to Forbidden by the amazing Beverly Jenkins. Amazing story, and I learned A LOT. Immediately downloaded the second book in the series, Breathless. It's off to a great start, and I want lunch to get her so I can turn it back on.

“A rough and tumble mining town where men worked hard, drank hard and killed rather than apologize”
"Heroes and Villains" is a song by the American rock band #theBeachBoys from their 1967 album #SmileySmile and their unfinished Smile project. Written by #BrianWilson and #VanDykeParks, Wilson envisioned the song as an #OldWest-themed musical comedy that would surpass the recording and artistic achievements of "#GoodVibrations". The single was #BrotherRecords' first release. While it failed to meet critical and commercial expectations, it was nevertheless a hit record.
