A large "Girl Scout" event was just hosted here in The Town Of Dry Gulch. My attention was soon drawn to one of the scouts. She was quite frail in stature, quiet in demeanor, and an obvious 'keep to herself' type. She was not quick enough to win a single game, nor was she even interested in filling her bag to the top. She preferred studious inspection of each individual gem before accepting it into her pouch.
As the event drew to a close she stood patiently by herself, far removed from the crowd that always gathers around me. As soon as the large gang had cleared she climbed up on the cart, quietly saying: "Sheriff Bill, I had the best time of my entire life"! She politely shook my hand, and hopped down.
That's what it's all About!!!
