I had a crush on a beautiful daughter of a gun nut who lived about one mile from us across a meadow in Reno, Nevada. I would have to cross a ditch and barbed wire to see the lady as well. And there were dogs in the neighborhood.


The stunning woman invited me on a horseback ride as she was borrowing a horse from a different neighbor. I rode behind her and she seemed to know just what I was thinking and said if I could get to her that night.... Her father was home from his truck driving gig though. I chickened out that night but ran into her again when she lived on campus at the University of Nevada, Reno. She married a rancher eventually. I hope she does not read Talk of the Villages, though.


She had made it a point to show me all the hurdles I would have to leap to get to her including the bunch of rifles on her father's living room wall, the barbed wire, the dog, and the ditch. Not to mention that very dark meadow.
