Oh this is so wonderful!! I love it. Also fun to be reminded of all the amazing (and sometimes terrifying) ranch sounds, which I long ago relegated to the far recesses and barely notice at all anymore. I do recall my second month at the ranch hearing so much gunfire and feeling freaked out. Now, if I even hear it, I think, “Ah, they’re shooting wild pigs.” I have a hunch that doesn’t comfort you.

I loved my time there, Spike! It's clearly provided lots of material for my writing and will continue to do so. I actually miss Lavon's (sp?) screams. It was sort of like the Pomodoro technique: "Write until you hear the donkey scream then take a break".

Not to revel in your insomnia and night terrors, but every time I remember your faux alien scream it brings me so much joy. So, thanks?

Also thank you for suggesting I have wood framed, and not plastic, windows at casa cacti.

Ha! I swear, as I wrote those words I thought “he will correct me and tell me they’re plastic”
