I’ve been to the spot where Willie Nickell was killed .
I have some barbed wire from the Nickell Ranch fence.
Used to work Iron Mountain Country 2000-2008.

Retired Homicide Investigator from my first career.
I think Tom Horn was framed..

I’ve talked to Miller family members in the area….

Wow that’s some cool history. Attached article is a good read on Tom Horn.

www.historynet.com

Did Tom Horn Really Kill Willie Nickell?

Tom Horn was executed for killing a 14-year-old. But can the Wild West assassin's favorite rifles exonerate him?
www.historynet.com www.historynet.com

“A descendant of a prominent family of Platte County pioneers who were neighbors of the Nickell family emphatically told me she would not say who actually had killed the boy because “that would make some people in our family very, very upset.”

Hearing aids, not hearing fixers. If there is very much background noise, say a restaurant, you would have to be right in front of me. Certain voice registers and accents don’t help.

I kind of like making a competing noise.

Either a loud raspberry or even shouting out "ANUS!"

Let them try to explain that to the other person on the phone.

edited to add: I don't go to coffee shops. I just think it is funny to say words that are not cursive but seem inappropriate.

I try to do most of my calls when i'm doing my shipping, or running some errands (bluetooth headset of course), but I really try to keep my voice down and not involve everybody in my conversation. If there are a lot of people around me, as in it's a crowded place, i'll end my conversation to resume later. I do not like to be a rude person, I don't like to bring attention to myself, so it's something i'm very aware of at all times, and will make sure that i'm not doing either. I mind my business though, I won't make a scene if someone else is being a cunt.

Unless you count standing in line at an airport to get a ridiculously overpriced muffin, I've yet to set foot in a coffee shop. That isn't to belittle those who frequent them. It is just my position in how I avoid places where the general bulk of the population is guaranteed to annoy me.

I understand the need for camaraderie between old folks, and lack of viable alternative locations for those in small towns... But at some point you have to choose to either gather someplace else to revisit the 'old days', or you have to merge with the new. Since I dislike modernism in all cultural forms, you can revert to my first sentence for how I cope/avoid them.

Best of luck OP. Hope that you can continue to outlast them.

Do you guys occasionally get together for breakfast at Granny's?

While @Schütze and I were there in Sept 23, there were a bunch of ranchers discussing antelope tag soup due to the huge winter kill.

The next morning, we grabbed a coffee next door at city brew.
That was a waste of money.

The little restaurant called Our Place had a great breakfast.

The colossal onion rings at the Silver Dollar.... yum.

I love my Jura!! It's one of the few companies left that answers phone calls without a phone menu and answers any questions in clear English. Not to mention, it makes a hell of a cup of coffee!

We have the opposite problem around here. Bunch of old farmers buying a cup of coffee and taking up all the tables then getting free refills for the next two or three hours . Not even a place to sit sometimes. But we know how much their cows sold for..No wonder the small cafe can’t make enough to stay open…Change ownership every year or two…🙄

Most of you folks don't get it. In Wyoming, you go to a "coffee shop" to actually get coffee. Black coffee. It comes out of a pot, not some foo-foo machine, and no we don't need room for cream. The side part of that is a place to sit with the other men from the area, talk weather and critters and politics, discuss how nice it is this time of year before the fucking greenies come back and invade our state again while trying to figure out why all of them smell like they just fucked a skunk in the ass. And grandkids, grandkids are always a topic of discussion.

Some of these places may sell weird coffee tinted drinks with names we can't pronounce, but we don't drink that shit. It's only there for stealing money from city fucks and identify who isn't from around these parts.

I stopped going to coffee shops for this very reason. You can’t get people on the freaking phone these days. They need to text instead.

But walk into a coffee shop and every asshole and their sister decides that’s the time they need to make a phone call and talk at the top of their lungs.

I make my own now. In the peace of my Wyoming home.

The only coffee shop that I've ever set foot in was a Starbucks in downtown Austin. We were erecting a steel structure a block away and I always got to the job 45 minutes early to get a parking spot. Had a little time to kill so walked down there and got a cup of coffee, well that's what they called it anyway. Guess I'm not a coffee snob cause that was the 1st and last time I'll ever waste my money or time in a Starbucks, and being austin in the 2000's you can imagine the wimps and useless women there.

I have it on good authority (@Redmanss) that no self respecting Wyomingan would drink coffee from some goddamned faggy machine like that

If you manage to get coffee out of that machine you are not only a fag but a retard.

That’s espresso and yes there are some here in Wyoming that have a problem with big words …..and hot drinks that don’t have the word “folgers” in its name. Fortunately I do not suffer this affliction.

Nor do I add sugar or a shoot moa.

Went to my first coffee shop last weekend waiting on my wife having an outpatient procedure done. Starbucks no less. Pistachio latte for about $8 and felt like a real wiener. Certainly the only guy in there with a pistol. Definitely the only guy in there with cow shit on my boots. Took 56 years to go in the first coffee shop so don't expect to be in another.

I don’t care for Starbucks myself. Back in the day part of my territory included south Florida down into Miami. Miami had more mom/pop coffee shops that were fantastic. They make many variations of coffee down there I’ve never seen anywhere else.

I don't go to coffee shops.
Me and the wife did go to the donut shop with some neighbors on Monday. I did have some coffee...something I rarely drink, but black coffee goes good with a sickly sweet apple frittler.
Now wtf was i gonna say......

Oh yeah. I am a grumpy asshole when people are yammering on their phone in a restaurant.
Yes i have given more than one yammering c*nt a nasty stare over the glasses. The wife usually has a lace tailed kitten when i grumpy stare at rude assed people.
