In your case, I'm guessing these detours might find their way into your stories. Like Caroline, I wondered at the amount of whiskey each man had versus the other supplies.

Don't you think it funny that those "shipwrecked" men in their prairie schooner had a lot more whiskey than food?Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
