Thoughts about ...... The Lone Ranger

Where did he and Tonto live? I wonder if they had a house, and where could it have been? They must not have done anything in the Winter, I don't think I have ever seen him in a coat, not even a raincoat.

I still wonder where he kept all those disguises, all he had was the two saddlebags, yet he had many different disguises, and he was able to do all them without the help of a mirror.

Did the horses always run? Didn't any of them just take their time, and not run at full speed. I wonder about the old stagecoaches too, did those horses always run at full speed, seems like they would get worn out sometime. I would think those coaches would ride awfully hard, and even worse if the horses are running.

Always been a question in my mind too, why did that "bad" guys always have slower horses then the "good" guys? Bank robbers often got caught by faster horses. The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers always seemed to have faster horses. I would think that bank robbers could take some of the money and buy a fast horse.

Since the Lone Ranger and Tonto were always on the road, where and when did they shave and shower? LR never had a beard, always clean shaven, clothes pressed. I wonder too, if he slept in those clothes, tight pants and a tailored shirt, they always seemed cleaned and pressed, never soiled.

They never stayed anywhere, they left as soon as the case was over and ride off, into the sunset.

Often, I have seen the Lone Ranger ride in to a town, white horse, mask and all, and no one noticed them, none of the people in town, but then, he would go in to the Sheriffs Office, who would draw a gun on him, startled, just the Sheriff, none of the town people.

"Emma, that guy is wearing a mask."
 "Just ignore him, Clarence, maybe he'll go away, look, an Indian, too, gorgeous white horse."
