A couple of weeks ago, The Outlaw Josey Wales was on again. I generally try to watch it because it seems like I always notice something new no matter how many times I've seen it before. This time I had worn myself out the day before installing flooring, was too sore to sleep that night and just felt like crap. I got about as far as the Indian girl hooking up with Josey and Lone Waitie and just called it quits.
For revenge, I decided to order the book Gone to Texas upon which the movie is based. I got a softcover copy of Gone to Texas and The Vengance Trail of Josey Wales. It arrived in yesterday's mail and I just about finished the whole thing in a day.
There are some significant differences between the book and the movie but neither seems to lose anything to the other. Eastwood just reworked a few things to make the story work better as a film. I was pleased that the chat with Ten Bears is straight out of the book.
The book stuck with me and this morning I got to thinking about my carry gun and decided to modify a Thunderware holster to carry this:
The results were kind of mixed. Not comfortable at all but dang did the waitresses ever flirt with me at breakfast!
