Morning, Palo. I just heard on the radio that Show Low residents will be allowed to move back home today. That's certainly good news.

Also read that how Show Low got its name - two men decided the town wasn't big enough for the both of them so one of them pulled out a deck of cards and said, "If you can show low, I'll move". Do you suppose that's true in this wild, wild West??? LOL LOL

hi cookie
I always guessed Show Low got its name from the poker term
but I never heard the story
Love, Palo

card playing was big in AZ cause it was mining state
I read that is why Wyatt Earp came out here
he was sick of sheriffing in Dodge City
and took stage out here with his brother to open up card playing joint
he wanted to be businessman

seems the shootout at ok corral ruined his ambition
I think he went up to Alaska after that to pan for gold

I heard he was big reader
when the boat to alaska started to shake rattle and roll
he stayed in his bunk and read
he refused to get nervous

I guess they had big storm
