It has recently become clear that there are three guys on the ranch that are doing so much here that withholding the keys to the whole place from them is plain foolishness. Not to mention the fact that they keep pestering the sheriffs to do things that need doing. Well NO MORE! These three guys now have their own keys and they can do their own dirty work!
Dirk Schreckmann, Ernest Friedman-Hill and Gregg Bolinger are hereby promoted to the notorious rank of "sheriff".
Congrats guys. You earned it.
