About this Trip

I started listening to the audio version Craig Johnson's Sheriff Walt Longmire novels and discovered a fascinating character. I think he might be the perfect man. He's been the sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming for over two decades. He's a widower (four years now). He was an English major in college--I'm an English professor--we would have much to talk about. I want to meet him (Sheriff Longmire--Walt--but I'd like to meet Craig Johnson as well). I have one slight problem. I don't know what he looks like. I do have this description, however, as Walter looks in his side-view mirror:

It was a handsome right eye, roguish yet debonaire. The right ear was also evident, a handsome ear as ears go, well formed with a disattached lobe. A sideburn had a little gray, just enough for seasoning, and it blended well with the silver-belly hat.

I loaded up my truck (I think he would like that I have a truck) and recently took off for the magic of Wyoming. I'll be listening to his books during my travels. I have to be back for the beginning of the fall semester, unless . . .

Another E-Mail from Vaughn

Well, Vaughn is either delusional or thick.  He wasn't that way when I last saw him.  Or maybe he's creating some kind of crazy fiction.  He knows I don't like fiction (never mind multiple !!!!!).  And I wish he would quit shouting.  I know he has a booming voice, but I have very sensitive ears.  Oh dear.  What if Walt shouts?  I haven't gotten that impression so far.  Anywho, here is his latest e-mail.  I don't think I'll respond.  It might encourage him.


SUSAN!!!!!! Don't worry. Really. I made a poster and I'm going to get it up in your neighborhood right away!!! I know I can find him for you!!!! Don't worry!! God, I am SO SORRY!! 

Okay, I'm going to get it up right now. I'll let you know as soon as I find him. I am SO SORRY!!! I hope you're having a good time.
