I saw a full sized grey Chevy truck go by me the other day and didn't think anything....until he blew his horn at me....General Lee!!

Hey there Tony! How have you been? I hope you're doing well. You're right about the cars. However there is a price to pay for everything. When thinking about the loss of those cars realize that they weren't the valuable classics back then that they are today. Nobody would make a show today if it meant destroying 300 Corvettes from the 1950s. Also consider what came from losing those Chargers. One of the most iconic televisions shows in human history brought joy to millions (dare I say a couple billion) people for years and here we are 40 years later and many of them are still finding happiness and many fans who haven't even been born will someday enjoy it. Sure, the glory days of Dukes are never coming back and fan numbers decrease with time (like all iconic shows do) but the Dukes will outlive us currrect fans in some form or another. For Charger fans it can be difficult to think about those cars but look at it this way. Their loss led a fellow Charger to climb to the top of the mountain as the most famous and recognizable car in history.....the General Lee. I doubt anything will ever replace it.

Haven't visited the site in a while as it has been a tumultous couple of weeks. I'll get the bad news out of the way 1st... The wife and I were involved in a scary violent incident Monday instigated by a person that doesn't even live here and hopefully after the wife's restraining order gets approved we won't ever have to worry about dealing with him again. That's about all I'll say till after the court hearings. Me and the wife are ok though but our nerves are still a bit rattled. We're now thinking about getting our CCW permits and buying a gun which we never really ever thought we'd need before. Now the good news... This little lady walked up to our place a few weeks ago. Have no idea where she came from or who owned her since nobody has called to claim her even the person who spent the money having her microchipped, so we're bringing her home in a couple of weeks. Have her at my dads right now till everything calms down here and we can introduce her to our cat.

THIS IS AWESOME NEWS! Is this just the start of a long career? When you give your acceptance speechs in all your future awards don't forget to thank your agent, manager, family, make up artists, writers, production crew and all your friends at the HazzardNet.....because we have believed all along that you are Hawesome.

Remember this from the end of January? I ended up getting cast in quite an iconic role from a popular Irish movie that I'd never seen before. We did the filming a couple of weeks ago in the middle of a snow storm, and then left it in the hands of what must be a very skilled editor. The awards night was held last night, which gave me chance to dress up for the evening. Our little movie was voted best picture by the audience (amongst some strong competition), so I'm going to have to get used to having my picture taken .

I'm sure everyone knows that today is St. Patrick's Day, so I went to see the local parade this afternoon. Last year, the parade clashed with an important Ireland rugby match, so numbers were down, but this year there was a good crowd until a rain shower about 10 minutes before the end. I thought Roger would like this tractor from near the back of the procession. As far as I can tell, it's from around 1950, and the company that made it is still in business in Boston (that's Boston, Lincolnshire, England - the place that Boston, Massachusetts is named after). It also reminded me of the time that the Dukes painted the General green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. OK, that wasn't the real reason (it was in 'Southern Comfurts' to save y'all searching), but the Dukes did visit Ireland in the animated episode 'Boss O'Hogg and the Little People'.

I'm just blown away by how many of those gorgeous '69 Dodge Chargers that were destroyed during the filming of the show!!!
