This economic collapse is destroying hundreds of thousands of small businesses. The girls guiding BCTS are struggling like everyone else. It seems donations have been in lockstep with the economy. Dwindling to a trickle in other words.
I remember Erin talking about turning tricks to survive.
Now I'm just an old country gal, I've put in a lot of time in the saddle on horse and equipment. I was pretty sure Erin wasn't talking about becoming a magician. Told her if she needed any help I'd be happy to teach her. Think she took it all wrong. Asked me in a snarky voice what did I know about turning tricks?
Besides magician, what other kind of tricks are there? Head and heel roping in tricky. Spinning a lariat and jumping back and forth through the loop is tricky. And if she thinks roping that darn steer running down the side of the highway with cars and trucks whizzing past isn't tricky, she's not as smart as I thought she was.
All good tricks as far as I'm concerned.
I decided to help anyway. Got out my bandana and walked down to I-40. Been reading about all the riots and stealing and looting and such and they are encouraged to keep it up. I'd one upmanship them wannabe robbers, I'd pull off a heist or two on the interstate. Outter get a gold star from the president for such forward thinking. Them people wusn't stopping. Some of them tried to run me over. When I fell back into the grader ditch a guy stopped to see if I wus alright. Pull my six shooter, pointed it at him and demanded his billfold. He was laughing as he handed it over and then turned and strolled back to his car. I hit the jackpot, there were over a dozen credit cards in there. No money but I know Erin can use credit cards. I mailed them to her a couple days ago.
Can't believe my cousin showed up the next day and arrested me? He can't still be mad because I put jelly in his shorts that time our families went fishing? We were both six. I mean everyone laughed when he came out of the lake and changed his swim trunks for his shorts.
Erin, send a couple of those credit cards back. I don't have any money to post bail.
