This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| Still my favorite night for TV. I re-watched one of favorite episodes of The Virginian tonight. It gets better every time. The woman looked prettier than I recall. The hero wasn't quite as pretty. But it was still very romantic in the end. True love, pure love, all that corny stuff that makes you feel like the world is a happy, wonderful place. The true wild west may not have been quite like that, with a few exceptions. This story actually takes place about the time Wyoming was becoming a state. Women got the right to vote there before any other state. They also had the first woman governor. The cattle drives were just about at an end by the time of this story. The railroad had pretty much covered the country. The range wars were still going on. There was a stark contrast between the big cities and the ranches and small towns. Tonight's episode had some outlaws who hid out with cow punchers, like outlaws work in construction these days--no background checks. But the true story was about a woman living on her own land without help, and a deaf mute. Both were alone and lonesome, misunderstood and proud. They needed each other. They were hard-working and honest. He asked her to marry him, not in words, of course. They made each other happy. She talked enough for both of them. He aroused empathy without making so much as a grunt. She seemed like a genuinely decent, caring person. Three times through it, and I still enjoyed it. It gets five stars from me. |
