The Cheyenne Nation warmed to the old man. “What did you do? For a living.”
He gestured toward the book lying on the counter to our left, Herodotus’s The Histories. “I taught world history at Black Hills State.”
“‘Men trust their ears less than their eyes.'”
He nodded and looked sad. “He is rather one-sided, but he’s still the most reliable historian of the ancient world.” The old scholar considered me. “I find it hard to believe that a Wyoming sheriff quotes Herodotus.”
“It’s a magnificent book.”
He placed a wrinkled hand lovingly on the tome. “I read it periodically to convince myself that we live in more civilized times.”
“Yep.”

How lovely…but now I read Herodotus to remind me that people weren’t always crazy (I mean, really. ESPN removing an Asian commentator named Robert Lee so as not to offend their audience in Virginia?! That’s crazy).
Clearly, I need to read more Walt Longmire!
Yep.
Love this!
This is great–and a wonderful way to start the day!
I just ordered “The Cold Dish!”
You are in for a treat!!
