    Why, Johnny Ringo...

    Cool little bit of History.

    Never imagined a discharge of firearm in Burnet and an ambush in Mason was the beginning of his outlaw ways

      I bought a book at HEB last week that talked about Johnny Ringo’s “run ins” in Texas.

      I think it is “Texas Gunfighters”. Or something like that - really good book and a ton of history.

                      I've heard that he was held in the Lampasas Co. jail during the Mason Co. wars. A mob broke him out of the jail.

                          Wasn’t there a song about Johnny Ringo back in the ‘60s?

                            Doc : In vino veritas.
                            Ringo : Age quod agis.
                            Doc : Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego.
                            Ringo : Juventus stultorum magister.
                            Doc : In pace requiescat!

                            Doc: In wine there is truth. (Being drunk makes me tell the truth.)

                            Ringo: Do what you do. (Being drunk makes you a drunkard / it’s good to stick to what you know best.)

                            Doc: [This is a quote from the ancient poet Horace] Let the Jew Apella believe it, not me. (Go and tell someone who cares.)

                            Ringo: Youth is the teacher of fools. (Fools need to learn by experience / Perhaps a fool like you needs someone experienced to teach him a lesson.)

                            Doc: Rest in peace. (Do what you like, it’s your funeral.)
