We are in southern Utah. Down at the Arizona border town of Fredonia there exists what used to be a fabulous bar and lounge called the Buckskin. That was where John Wayne and Ward Bond and all the guys hung out during the filming of countless western movies during the thirties and forties.

It is now virtually deserted but for a few stragglers as we don't go there anymore. Reason is that the majority of the folks that used to hang out there were from Kanab. The Utah Highway patrol and the Kanab PD have made it a practice to start picking everybody up that leaves the place the minute they cross back into Utah.

I left the American Legion Post one day and noticed a police car pull in behind me.

In a couple of miles the light cam on and I pulled over.

I was accused of having crossed the center ine, which I did not because I saw this cop behind me. I was driving particularly cautious.

He got me out of the car for the regular drunk excercises and the breatholizer, I passed them all and still got a ticket for crossing the center line. A lie.

I had been drinking Pepsi Cola all night.

I went to court on the ticket and had to pay the fine, as traffic court is one place where the cops word is law ,even if it’s a lie.
