As children, Jimbo and I played cowboys and Indians. We tried to start a campfire a bit close to a neighbors old wooden garage. I don’t remember if we were caught or couldn’t get our campfire started because the old garage would have went up in flames quickly. Years later as adults I reminded him of our cowboys and Indians campfire attempt. He said, “ Shh, we don’t know the statute of limitations!”
