The vast majority of the world was pretty savage in the old days. Even SOME Native Americans were savage. Lake Erie was named after the Eriez Indians but none of them are left because the Iroquois Indians killed them all. And Chief Seattle has a city named after him but he wiped out other tribes and kept the survivors as slaves. He still has a statue standing to honor him in Seattle.....which is odd since slave owner statues were supposed to be tore down....and the people hollering the loudest to tear down the ones in the South are from the west coast where some slave owners are loved. Edit: I almost changed my mind and deleted this post but I guess I will let it stand even though I'm not comfortable saying it. I just want history to be accurate even though it is not always pretty. The molding of America had many extremes, good and bad. Yes, much of it was ugly but human nature often is and this ugliness existed all around the world. I hope there are no hard feelings Spike. You are correct though. Indigenous peoples were treated badly and still are in certain ways.

Congratulations.

Mom's a fan of Western series and movies. She watches reruns Gunsmoke, Bonanza etc. I told her "Better enjoy while you can, before political Correctness gets them taken off the air. For some stupid reason, they'll claim for making fun of the Indians or something."

Oh yeah there were some brutal tribes that had no sanctity of life. Heck there are some tribes in other countries that are cannibalistic still. There's a reason some tribes are still isolated or haven't been "found" because people know not to go to certain places in the jungles.

Wow! Congratulations! That's a pretty big deal! ❤

Wife and I are celebrating our 20th Anniversary today.

Kevin Harvick will be getting behind the wheel of a Cup car again to qualify Kyle Larson's car for the All Star race since Kyle Larson will be qualifying for the Indy 500. Kyle Larson will be able to make the all star race from Indy qualifying though. https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/04/28/cup-series-2024-all-star-kevin-harvick-standby-kyle-larson/

On to the wheels. I had a choice of 4 different sets of Beetle tires, all of varying widths. I thought the closest to what I see on the TV show was the ones from the Revell Cabriolet Beetle. The outer wheel hubs came from a most generous overseas donor (thanks Les!). However, they needed some work to fit the selected tires. As for the inner wheel hubs, they needed their center holes enlarged to fit the suspension I used.

Yeah it was another snooze fest between the leader and 2nd place that couldn't pass due to the lousy aero of this generation of car. Kyle Larson got within a car length of Denny then got stalled out. Mike, Kevin and Clint tried to make it exciting and seem like Kyle could pass Denny but I knew what the outcome would be. Like many of the driver's have said lately if you're the leader with 5 - 10 laps to go you'll most likely win if there's no cautions because no one will be able to pass you unless by some chance they have tires with way less laps on them.

I appreciate that, Roger :). I missed the race. Had a birthday lunch. But I did hear that Denny Hamlin held off Kyle Larson to win the race. So whoever it was who said they liked Hamlin (Sorry) you should be happy. Chase Elliott finished fifth...

Summary Dukes are up to the usual shenanigans again this time Ponch and Jon get involved. It takes place around 1979. Ponch and Jon get lost and wind up in Hazzard County Jail and of course, the Duke boys “bail” them out that is when all the fun begins.

Ok thanks

All I know is that they were the 2 cops in CHIPS but I never watched the show and don't know anything about them!

I need a title for this chapter

We have some great national parks in Tennessee!
