   Jonni--
  Out west we have a different way of dealing with rude riders. We call 
it "culling the herd." If a rider treats one of our volunteers rudely, 
they are instructed to apologize to the rider by saying,"I'm sorry, I 
was busy cleaning my shotgun, and I guess I got a little behind." 
Usually sweetens 'em right up. I'm not even supposed to be telling you 
this, but there's more than one rude rider pushin" up daisies (or 
cactus) in various obscure locations of the Desert Southwest. We'll 
never lead the country in the size of our membership, but the surviving 
riders are "right nice."
  So, if you ever do a ride in our neck of the woods, and a riderless 
horse comes galloping into camp, don't assume the rider fell off or got 
lost.............Hey, somebody's gotta feed the buzzards.    Bruce Weary
