Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I think the good deputy is the type of guy that Sean would like- very direct with a good, but subtle sense of humor. (If you get a chance to see the first couple of seasons of "Justified", I think you'd like it.)

Thanks for pointing out the details you liked especially the bits about his well-meaning (and probably matchmaking) neighbors and my ending "nothing to see here" image.

"Dog Day Afternoon" is such a great movie. I have it in my DVD collection but it's been quite a while since I watched it.
