I complained and complained, and in the end I got what I wanted. Yesterday I complained that the Monarch butterflies that I have been raising keep flying away and not coming back. Well, one came back and I think laid a bunch of eggs. She spent quite a bit of time fluttering from one milkweed plant to the other, I assume laying eggs. After she left I checked the plants for teenie tiny eggs, but found none. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there though. The milkweed I have has very slender leaves, so it’s harder to find eggs on them. I will check on them every day for babies, and collect them when I find the next batch. YAY!!!! Who says throwing a temper tantrum doesn’t work?

The judge looked down on Jubal Courtney and leaned his chin against his folded hands. After what seemed to be a long while, the judge spoke. “Master Courtney, that was quite a speech; claiming to be innocent – something a smart minded criminal might come up with. I salute you. You’re and Irishman, aren’t you?” he said with a sneer, like being Irish was in itself, a criminal charge. I could see the look on his face and knew I was a condemned man. “I am from Ireland, your honor, but I didn’t… ?” Cutting him off, the judge said, “Jubal Courtney, for the charges of robbery and murder in the first degree, I sentence you to be imprisoned in the penal colony in New South Wales for the rest of your life. And may God have mercy on your black Irish soul.”

In 1885 providing whiskey to the remote mining camps spread throughout the Colorado Rockies was perhaps as lucrative a venture as the mines themselves.

After hiring two hard as nails, but often humorous, cowboys from Texas as replacement drivers, Nicholas hires a former lawman as one guard and a man who was at one time a sharpshooter in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show as a second guard. When the whiskey shipments resume, so do the ambushes and killings, but all is not as it appears and the trail leading to those responsible for the hijackings and murders is full of twists and curves.
