DAY +3 - Howdy Partners!
 

Buffalo Boone here.  Times are kinda slow here at the Lazy B right now.  Things being what they are ‘n all it takes me a while to get up and goin’.  Take this morning.  It took me dang near an hour to get up, brush my hair and teeth, and eat a breakfast that had been brung to me. Course now to be fair I don’t get to sleep long stretches here.  Why last night I even took me one of them sleepin’ pills.  I still woke up a lot, or got woke up but it did make it easier to get back to sleep once the business at hand was done.

Don’t know how much you seen of the place here.  Its small be we call it home.  Got a nice bunk house, at least once you get used to it.  Got to get Pauline to bring me my good pillow though.  Got a seatin’ area that’ll hold four guests plus me in right comfortable style and my seat’s got a table that goes with it.  We even got us a storage area for spare vittles ‘n such for when the cook don’t feel like messin’ with anything.

Speaking of the cook the food here is pretty dang good.  I ain’t real sure what some of them vegetables are.  Maybe I could tell if I seen ‘em before they been in the stew pot so long.  Anyways I usually pass on them but the rest is right good.  And the help here is real good too.  We got lots of ladies that take turns coming in to see that the place is well kept and everybody is doing what they’re supposed to do.  There’s also three overseers that take turns coming around.  Smart fellers too.  Always ask a lot of questions. 

There is this one feller that’s beginin’ to bug me a bit.  Name of Mark and the son of a gun follows me every place I go and I do mean every place.  And he never says anything but he mumbles all the time.  And to top it off sometimes, especially at night, he’ll just take to holler’n his fool head off till one of those ladies comes and calms him down.  I’ve tried to shut him up a couple of times but it don’t seem to work for me.

We’re really uptown here too.  Got us lots of fancy equipment and computers.  We got us a bicycle that you ride but it don’t go anywhere is just make this little kinda TV light up and show some numbers.  Oh and we got this new thing here………..

It’s what you call an aspirimavator and what you’re supposed to do it is aspire to blow in that tube till you make the little blue thing at the bottom go up to the top.  I ain’t great at it but I beat heck outta Mark there.

 

I got me one other new thing here too.  One of them nice ladies that I told you about comes up every day and does her livin’ best to get every nasty little critter and spec of dirt of the ranch.  I’m telling you she scrubs and wipes and picks up like nobody I’ve ever seen.  Her name is MizzDe.  I can’t really say how she come about the name.  I’ve heard some tales but I don’t believe none of ‘em.  Anyway MizzDe come in the other day and give me this little critter……………….

 

 

His name is Coco.  MizzDe says he comes from a magic place and has all sorts of special powers.  I ain’t seen any powers yet and tell you the truth I don’t care if he’s got any.  I just like the way he smiles at me.  He is as sweet and quiet as he can be.  And since it was MizzDe that give him to me that’s how I know them stories about her ain’t true.  A woman like that would never have give me a critter this polite and shy. 
Hell he don’t even like peanut butter.

 

Buffalo Boone out.
