deaddrift in deadwood, jenny gulch

note from f. marty 11/16/2001

"I've got to give you and the boys credit for sticking with the good
fight through thick and thicker. Don't see much of that anymore.
Seems most folks hang in there as long as the fight doesn't get too
messy or inconvenient. Don't know 'bout you but most fights like
this that I've seen or been involved in get pretty pissy pretty quick.
As I advance in years I try to be somewhat selective on which fights
I choose to get into in the first place. Every time I confront the
opposition they get to know me a little better. My biggest weapon
is catching them on the blind side with their pants down. Come in
when they least expect it, with guns blazing and don't let up till the
fight is won or the barrels have melted down. I admire you guys
because this contest can not be won with a quick strategic strike but
only through a long grueling battle. Not many folks are up to that
and all of you have proven yourselves worthy opponents. This may
or may not come out the way you would like but in the end the
folks will know they've been in fight and sometimes
that's the best one can do.

Keep the faith and do what you can, where you can every time
you can.

As usual you'll find me back lurking in the shadows always watching."
