[Western] Regional fighter practice

Thu Jul 31 23:06:52 PDT 2008

Why, I've never... The gall of the man, to suggest I've ever "done someone 
in." I tell you, those tax collectors commited suicide. Each of them, in 
turn, dug their own hole and fell on their swords of their own volition. I 
only covered them up as a courtesy to both the living and the dead. Only a 
Chinaman would expect the dead to fill in their own graves.

>> breaking an ankle.  You even impressed ole-man A.C. Kerly, You know the 
>> old-man that lives just north of the wall you have just built and you 
>> know how hard-nosed he is about things.
>>   Anyway, I finally ended up staying the night in the Shire of Adlersruhe 
>> and after seeing the sights there, and taking care of a bit of business, 
>> I returned back home all safe and sound.  But I did want to thank your 
>> fine soldiers who gave me them 12 new horses.  Are these men new to your 
>> lands? I only ask, as I have not seen them before.  Anyway, they stopped 
>> me at the waterwell in La Mesa, while I was watering my poor ole' 
>> animals, and when I approached their animals, to get a better look at the 
>> excellent horses, your men stood in front of me and all they would say 
>> was 'Chain horses, gift for the wondrous U!'  Your Excellency,  I was so 
>> impressed, and thankful, I went and made them a fresh fish salad using 
>> some of those new fast growing fish I found in a store in Aldersruhe. You 
>> know the ones that when you catch them they swell up to three times their

>> of something they called 'ice', and then they went and fell asleep under 
>> a few nearby trees, they must have been trying to find me for sometime to 
>> give me those horses, because they were so tired they did not even wave 
>> good-bye to me when I left.
>>   But the reason for this message is to let you know that whomever sold 
>> you those horses, your excellencies, does not know his horse-flesh very 
>> well so to speak.  As these 12 horses; while it is true - that they are 
>> perfectly matched and being the purest white color I have seen in years - 
>> they have not been trained at all in pulling and they know nothing about 
>> being chained to a plow, or wagon for that matter.  But don't fret your 
>> excellency, I will gladly take the time to train them to the duties 
>> required for farm-work. But I thought you might want to question your 
>> 'Master of Horses' more closely in the future, as these fine animals, are 
>> to me more suited for the tasks related to the battlefield then the farm

>>
>> Again Thanks for the Horses.
