Thanks!
Looks and sounds like you had a great time

Nobody is as much of a character as Paul is. From talking to his mules if they've had a bad day, telling stories, cracking jokes... he is funny and a damn good singer.
I remember years ago at morning coffee with my dad(when there was such a thing at the pit stop in naches), I was 4 and my sister was 7. He was there having coffee and put handcuffs on me and my sister and walked us out to the cop car. He said "this is where you do not want to be ever in a cop car." I will always remember that.
He recited some cowboy poetry that was pretty dang funny too
the funniest thing he said was about his dog Duke. duke is a rescue border collie mix who came from an abusive situation. Duke adores Paul and is suspicious of everyone else. When I would try to pet Duke he would bark and growl at me with suspicion.
Paul said, "I suppose if he ever bites anyone I'll have to shoot him... Wouldn't want him to get rabies..."
Took me about a minute to get it!
