No Trouble In Cowboy Capital Of The World

Get The Heck Into Dodge?
That's their slogan here in Dodge City. I'm serious. Next to Gatlinburg Tennessee, it's the cheesiest place I've ever visited. Tonight I watched about four minutes of the worst "gun show" act I've ever seen. It was supposed to be a reenactment of the wild ...
