Where credit is due.
He’s proud, and he’s cantankerous, and he’s bright, and he’s set and his ways, and he’s educated in the estoterica of vintage 20th century guns, Texas history, and law enforcement methods and lore learned from about 4 decades as a cop. He’s my father, and my best friend. He’s laid up in a hospital with a broken hip, fighting pain, nicotine addiction, and restlessness, to heal enough to regain some modicum of self-sufficiency as soon as possible. Remember my old man in your thoughts today, and if you know Johnny personally, drop him a line or two; he’d appreciate it. Thanks.

Hope that your Dad is better soon.
Keep on writing, you have a great start.
Dang, I hadn't heard about the hip. Hope Johnny gets to feeling better soon. Maybe he needs to take up chewing to stave off the nicotine fits. How soon before they turn him loose to rehab? I ought to get up y'all's way sometime.

Rabbit.
