I walked across the street to the Menger Hotel, went into the bar and had a couple of cold ones.

Perhaps you felt the presence of a few ghosts there as well for it was in that very place that Theodore Roosevelt recruited a large number of his "Ruff Riders"!

The Menger was built in 1859 and is still operating today.What a great old hotel. I was leaning against the bar, drinking my beer and collecting my thoughts when I looked down and noticed a rather large gash on the edge of the bar next to my elbow. The bartender told me that Carrie Nation, the teetotaling campaigner out of Kansas, had made that slice with her hatchet back in the late 1800's. I immediately ordered another beer. Seemed like the right thing to do.
