Update in which I amend the preceding post,

Apparently I didn't google hard enough the first time around, but there is an article about these fabulous creatures.

This is certainly tragic, but the Sheridan's don't seem to be too bothered by their lifestyle, therefore i can critique in good conscious.

I'm sure by this point (4 years later) "Mother" is dead and probably lying in bed wearing her best dressing gown while her devoted son dutifully tends to the yard and tries not to look at the lady next door when she gets out of the shower...

That makes it a million times more awesome. Kudos to you Master Sheridan and your pipe smoke and sideburns and your ability to miraculously win a lawsuit against the Gardens' juggernaut. Just please don't kill me if I spend the night in the pouring rain after deciding to steal a wealthy Texan's money and drive to Arizona to visit my boyfriend.
