A friend just asked me a question which I have never thought about. The question being "Why was the Dodge Charger named "General Lee"? I KNOW that General Robert E. Lee was a Confederate general, which is why the show used a Confederate flag. But why "General Lee?" Why not "General Patton", or "General Bradley"? To this day, I LOVE this show but I never thought about the reason for the generals name. Any ideas out there?

It could have been a play on the name...Generally ( General Lee) speaking!

When the car is revealed in a flashback in 'Happy Birthday, General Lee', Cooter says "I'll tell you, Uncle Jesse couldn't have come up with a better name. After we put the rebel flag on and stuck that Dixie horn in, there couldn't have been nothing more appropriate than 'General Lee'." So Uncle Jesse came up with the name. Maybe there are more references in other episodes that other members can recall.

Had another one of those crazy storms last night. Another 2+ inches of rain in 45 minutes. Once again the parking lot flooded, worse this time. Luckily the water didn't reach our cars but I bet a few people will have to dry their vehicle interior's out as the water reached the doors of some cars in the lower parts of the lot. Lightning was crazy too, multiple strikes in the same spots. While moving some flower pots around before the storm I noticed a hummingbird moth visiting my prairie sunflowers. Guess that means I have a healthy garden for native pollinators .
