After coffee early one morning, (just to stir up something) Choctaw challenged the RoseBud to a throw down shooting match.  You ask what is that.... well here goes. 

    The dirty red napkin that Choctaw has been using to take hot pans off the fire with represents a blanket. Choctaw threw down a jug which contains "Snake Bite Medicine".  The RoseBud threw down a hand made knife.  It is kinda like a duel but you don't shoot at each other!  Choctaw challenged RoseBud to a 10 shot match at fifty yards, shooting at targets about the size of a silver dollar. 

    Well you got to have a little understanding here now!  The light was bad that early in the morning, and both Choctaw and RoseBud have both run right by the 60 year old mark, and their eyes ain't what they use to be, so...... after five shots each and the targets were undamaged, the conductor of the shoot, the one and only Lopping Turtle suggest that said shooters move closer to the targets.  Lopping Turtle then takes a "few" steps from the firing line, closer to the targets, draws a line and again the match is under way.

    The long and the short of this story is:

    Choctaw "whooped" RoseBud!  Choctaw is now the proud owner of the hand made knife and the "Snake Bit Cure"!
