Tombstone.
I walked into Tombstone this morning and headed to Dutch Annie’s. I met a woman named Beth who was working behind the bar while Paisley danced. I told them about my new case and asked, “Ya’ll ain’t seen some strange activity around the sheriff’s offices, have ya?”
“No ma’am, I haven’t seen any strange activity,” Beth said.
“Seems someone has been leaving the law presents. Of the foul-smelling variety,” I told them.
“Nope, I have not,” Paisley said.
“Fingerprints match for all things left behind so we know it’s the same person doing it... Just ain’t sure who. First was some manure, which Jenna as a vet confirmed was from horses who were raised and fed well on ranches…” I explained.
“Sounds like something Lot might do, but I have not seen him lately,” Paisley said.
“Then was some rotting fish. Only at select offices, which is the interesting part.”
“I did not know Jenna was a doctor,” Paisley said.
“She’s training to be a vet. She’s great at it too.”
“So, she is a medical assistant right now?” Paisley asked.
“Mmhmm I believe so. I’m not sure if it’s with just animals, or with people too though.”
“I had no idea.”
“Ya learn somethin’ new every day, Pais.”
I talked with Beth and got to know her a bit as she said she came to Tombstone for a new adventure. I talked with Paisley about how Natalie loved her class and she said that she was thinking about teaching reading and writing. I told her about Natalie’s history series in the Bee and then I headed home.

Bisbee.
This afternoon I played piano and sang at the Stock Exchange in Bisbee. I had a good crowd who came to listen to me play. We talked with a woman named Faith who was still debating what kind of work she wanted to do. We talked about how there would be bowling at Dutch Annie’s and Thomas said he didn’t have any new presents left at the office. Thomas and I headed home and relaxed, enjoying the quiet as the kids were out playing somewhere.
