Hi, Scott. My grandfather was a bartender, too. He owned and ran the Town Tavern in a town in eastern Pennsylvania when I was a kid. I was treated to small bottles of Coca-Cola and bags of cheese curls. The question of how one wishes to die always reminds me of this joke. “When it is my time to die, I just want to die peacefully in my sleep. That’s how my uncle died. I certainly don’t want to die panicking and screaming like the _passengers_ on his bus.”
This was so enjoyable! I'm 55 so I think I was just old enough to vaguely remember Western-y things, though I can't say I really sought it out. But you're right, it's somehow in our blood. Or it was. I watch old shows now and it all feels familiar to me even though I don't remember really being into it when I was a kid. A few years ago I discovered The Rifleman while flipping channels. I'd never even heard of it. I fell in love from the opening credits with THAT GUN! I know zero about guns and yet I love them. I'd never seen anything like that! I adore the father/son relationship. The child actor who played the son was wonderful. Something about the "strong silent" type of man raising his son alone, teaching him to be honest and honorable - oh, that gets me every time. I wish I could find a husband like that. Ah, well.
Johnny Crawford was the kid playing Mark McCain. When we were kids, my cousin Cindy had a huge crush on him. He was also one of the original Mouseketeers on the old Mickey Mouse Club.
Hi! It was so interesting to hear your answers to the tag. I live in Huntington Beach here in Orange County, and I've also been to The Harp (when I worked in Newport Beach years ago). Coincidentally, there's Starr Ranch here in the OC. Its an Audubon Sanctuary in the Coto de Caza area. You MUST read Lonesome Dove by the way!
I wonder if the Starr Ranches are affiliated. The one we went to also had nature trails up into the hills, and seems like they mentioned having other sites here and there. I WILL get to "Lonesome Dove" one day soon. Sláinte!
This has turned out to be a fun tag. Enjoyed your version of it. I like Glenfiddich. That is when I can get it. A gin & tonic is nice. Especially with the dozens of different gins around. Now I'm thirsty and want to sit back hav a drink and watch a few Maverick episodes.
@@jscottphillips503 Oh you know what? I used "Jase" unconsciously there! 🙈 I call you Jase in my head when I'm watching your videos. It's a shortening of J. And Scott. Sorry about that!
Definitely read a Western! There is still a week left for June on the Range! And yes, the tricorder was home-made by a friend of mine in high school, c1972. All he had to go by was the prop photo in Stephen Whitfield's "The Making of Star Trek." It holds two D batteries which make the screen light up and the speaker under the flap buzz. He made the screen out of sunglass lenses.

Yeow!

Great job on this tag! I loved the thumbnail with the photo of you from your outlaw days.
Thanks! That was a loooong time ago, but they haven’t caught me yet!
Yes, the thumbnail photo is fantastic!
Wonder Dad was a huge TV westerns fan, so this makes me think of him.
Great tag. Well done!
I live about 5 miles from Virginia City. I love your videos.
That's great! I love Virginia City! Thank you for watching!

Great video and love your answers. Also love your awesome lantern!!!
Thanks! Glad I thought to haul out that old lantern. My sister used to have the green one, but not sure what happened to that one now.

Truth be told, I’m really more of a scotch guy, myself. Jameson is my go-to for economic purposes. But enjoy some Maverick! Slainte!
😂 This is why I love your channel. You are absolutely charming ❤. Thank you for the tag Jase! I'll try to do this today!
Cool! By the way, the “J” is just an initial. Call me Scotty!

No problem! Check your email. There is a PDF of the Crier waiting for you!
@@jscottphillips503 Yay! Thank you so much! ❤️
They did suck at teaching history when I was in school. Now I want to read a Western 🤔
Also, is that a tricorder on your shelf?
Definitely read a Western! There is still a week left for June on the Range!

@@jscottphillips503 Wow, that makes the tricorder even better! Homemade props are the best! It looks really good.
