Thanks for the clarification, Natali and Louise.

(Unfortunately I had to spend another long day WORKING for heaven's sake!!!). And yes, Wes was elected sheriff, and to be elected you need campaign money and yes, Wes has got some money. Edna was rounding off in her comment about "almost 20 years." They have known him since his senior year in college, where as the most promising senior in his class, he got to work in the Sheriff's department. (That isn't covered in the story anywhere, but that is where I was going with the fact that Wes hand-picked Ellery.) And as far as Ellery knowing about Ennis's bonus, he knows how Wes works, and if Wes hadn't actually come out and asked him how much he should give him, then he would have made a good guess based upon his thorough knowledge of how Wes does business. And at this point I haven't drawn any deeper relationship between Ellery and the Browns. They have their own money, they don't have a financial relationship of any kind.

LOL. Thanks! I guess spending the day dissecting news items is worth for something other than a dissertation!

If I'm really clever I'll be able to get everybody who is a regular fan here mentioned in some way in one of the upcoming books, if there is some way to get your name inconspicuously fit in there somewhere!

Cheers Louise!
I absolutely can't wait for the next book!
Well, I am sure we'd all like the Laramie Saga to continue indefinitely .. ::), but ..
I'll be happy as a pig in ---- as long as you keep going! ;D
--- Quote ---As far as my health goes, I got lucky on the cough - it must have been either a side effect of my tooth problem or a simple cold, because I am getting over it pretty quickly. I had a good night's sleep last night. Unfortunately, my dentist had bad news for me today: I have an infection underneath the root of my most recent root canal, which is cemented beneath a fixed bridge. Fixing it is going to be time consuming and may not be successful: the alternative is oral surgery or pulling the tooth out, which means losing a bridge I paid a whole lot of money for, and molars I can ill afford to lose bitability with. So that wasnt good news, but there is hope. And here I was hoping for an infected gum!

Shit Louise! :-\ Did you decide which option you are gonna go with? One of my neighbours had oral surgery last week and said it was not as bad or painful later as she'd anticipated. Yer right after all, there is hope! Take it easy! :-*
louisev:
oh I already decided I'm going for the root canal retreatment. It is the most work but the least invasive and least risky. I have a lot of confidence in my dentist, and I remember how rushed he was to do that root canal. My roots are very long and very narrow, and I think he was convinced he couldn't get further down that root. But I have had additional treatment done (before the crown was finalized) on a couple of other teeth, and it is worth a go. Because oral surgery IS a risk, and I have broken jaw joints, so the less extreme the procedure is... the better.
