Wild West Windowsill
A disputed territory seems to have sprung up above my work area this afternoon. Minding my own business, working hard, I looked up to find myself in the middle of a scuffle.
I'm not sure who is after whom, but I'd guess the horse has something to do with it. It's nice to see the Indians are still at one with the earth and all that and haven't given up on using the trees and other formations as natural defenses. Sadly, the cowboys still seem to be pretty clueless -- the intervening years and all the biopics of Custer don't seem to have gotten through. They're still standing out there in the middle of nowhere firing off their pistols.
The horse looks like he's fixing to get out of there. In which case, the whole affair will probably fizzle. Horses. It's always about the horses. Or the women. It's always about the horses or the women. Haven't we learned anything?

Hopefully, the conflict can stay in your work area. For awhile I kept finding army soldiers battling it out in my bathroom, and occasionally showing up in my bedroom. They would invade when I was out and about. Never did they respect my neutrality.
Though, I'm of the firm opinion, that sometimes these plastic combatants really do good work for worthy causes.
My suspicion, by the by, is that this one isn't about the horses. The cowboys are clearly worked up and not thinking tactically, which means they're thinking about the women and jumping into all sorts of trouble without worrying about defense. They'd be behind the fence if it was about the horses.
Life is movin' priiity slow up 'ere in Sierra Madre, isn't it?
I'm wondering which indians those 2 must be hiding behind PALM TREES. Maybe they're Umpquas or Chinook and they happened to wander too far south?
That could be the reason for the scuffle.
Then it wouldn't really be about horses or women at all but about coconut rights or tree climbing rights or some such.
OR maybe there were women and horses hiding amongst the trees and the indians were ready to pounce in which case you would be right. It's always about the women and horses.

I think that those on all sides should be fighting against the common enemy who have fenced them all in with the big wooden structure behind them. One thing's for sure. They're gonna need the horse to pull it down so that they can escape and once again live free. At which point they can return to arguing about who the horse belongs to.
