  1. Something seemingly obvious I was missing for years, and now I am looking for explanation.

    An archetypical scene from a #WesternMovie is, when a #BountyHunter delivers a heap of (ususally dead) villains to a local #sheriff, claiming huge amount of money as promised by publicly distributed wanted posters.

    Now, I am curious about the economics behind that system. The #OldWest was running rather slow #money #circulation, and local reserves of cash were small. A public bounty posters, accumulated in any given sheriff's office, if cashed en masse, would easily kill local bank liquidity. On the other hand, waiting for a train or wagon to bring more money was probably not practical for a hunter who just killed someone with friends in the heigbourhood.
    So, any of you #history buffs can explain how it worked in reality?

  6. Happy Anniversary to JOHNNY GUITAR, which premiered on this day 70 years ago in Los Angeles.
    “After helping a wounded gang member, a strong-willed female saloon owner is wrongly suspected of murder and bank robbery by a lynch mob.”

    This has been in my top ten favorite movie list ever since I saw it the first time.
