LOL The only thing worse than a General without an 01 on the door would be opening the door.

Too cloudy for astronomy. I'll probably have trouble sleeping since I slept most of the day. Maybe it's time to pop an episode in.

It will also be interesting to see how much the flag controversy hurts them the next few weeks. Southern folks are loyal to racing but they are even more loyal to their heritage and get upset when uninformed people think they love their flag because of slavery.

I'm allergic to cats so according to politically correct rules that makes you an intolerant hateful person. Your insensitive shirt also doesn't consider the feelings of dog owners so I'm proposing that it be banned. Anybody who doesn't agree with me is evil. Anybody who think that I'm wrong for labeling those people as evil is evil.

I pulled an all-nighter last night doing astronomy and slept most of the day today. I'm hoping for another all-nighter but some clouds are moving in....pretty thin though so I'm not too worried. I'm watching live Supercross dirt bikes right now. They wrap their season up on Sunday.

Thanks for the update Spike!

And after that is the infamous Buttermilk 4.00. I wonder if anybody will make it around the barn all 4 laps this year.

He must be getting sentimental because he just turned 60 two months ago.

Good Neighbors, Duke....season 3 Josiah Benson and his daughter move into the old Gaylord farm in Hazzard. They are in the witness protection program after he testified against a mob Boss. To protect his identity Josiah is now known as Adam Venable and his daughter, Ester. Boss had been planning on buying that farm to build Hogg Heights Condominiums and was mad the Venable's got it. Two bad guys had been spying on the Venables after suspecting Adam was really Josiah and they put a bug in their living room and found out they were right. 2 million dollars in uncut diamonds of ransom was lost by the mob boss and the bad guys thought Josiah (Adam) had them but he didn't. The Duke boys found out about Josiah's past after checking old newspapers. When the Venables decided to leave town they left a briefcase of family pictures and heirlooms with the Dukes for safekeeping but when Daisy had it the bad guys went after her, thinking the diamonds were in it. Thanks to the boys Daisy got away. While this was going on Boss and Rosco were searching for uranium that the bad guys tricked them into thinking was in Hazzard. Eventually the Venables, with the help on the Dukes faked their death in a car explosion off a cliff so the bad guys would stop bothering them and Rosco and Boss struck much needed water on the Venable farm in their uranium search. --Hoyt Axton sings his cop in a little bitty town song in the end. --The episode starts out with Bo and Luke singing the song from Hee Haw...'where oh where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched....." --When Boss explained a geiger counter to Rosco he asked Boss "How many geigers we gonna have to count?" Boss said to Rosco, after mentioning uranium "if your cranium had a brainium" -- Condominiums? In another episode they were Hoggominiums as I recall.

The Great Santa Claus Chase....season 3 Bo and Luke are hauling Christmas trees into Hazzard with a big orange truck (of course it's orange) when they get hijacked and tied up along the road. A bad guy dressed as a preacher helps them but later sets them up to make it look like they stole the trees and pocketed the $500 from selling them...... but Boss was behind the scheme and had 2 other bad guys paint the truck. The preacher sees Boss's safe and conspires with the other 2 guys to steal from it. The townsfolk slowly start to suspect that Bo and Luke might be guilty. Boss starts selling the trees in the freshly painted truck but the boys, after getting bailed out, see a ribbon Luke tied on one of them and realize they are the same trees and truck. The Dukes almost get Boss to change his mind when they run a Dicken's Christmas Carol shuck and jive on the CB when Boss is half asleep for his 4:30 nap but Cooter breaks in and ruins the plan. Bo, Luke and Cooter dress up like Santa Clauses and steal the truck back and start delivering the trees while the 3 bad guys dress up like Santas too and lock up Jesse and Daisy and steal the money from Boss's safe. They all meet up in a near 7 vehicle and 6 Santa collision at Indian Road and Bear Hollow Junction where everything gets sorted out and the 3 bad guys get arrested. In the final scene, the 4 Dukes, Rosco, Cooter, Cletus and Flash are celebrating Christmas Eve at the Duke farm when Boss comes to visit, carrying an armload of presents after being reformed by reading Little Jimmie Dickson's Christmas Carol. After hearing bells Jesse asked the boys if they put them on Maudeen. Of course we know who it really was. --The final scene is the one I love the most in the whole series. What I wouldn't give to have been there. I love Christmas. --Sitting alone in the Boar's Nest Boss after reading A Christmas Carol Waylon said "And with Lulu away, 'ol Boss was as lonely as 'ol Waylon at the Country Music Association Awards"...LOL...It was no secret that the CMA thought Waylon was too much of an outlaw at the time to get awards. Times sure have changed. He's an icon now.

Mostly I just missed teasing you!

You can make up for it by stopping by and saying hi at least a couple times a week. LOL. I was getting a little worried about you!

Mrs Rosco P Coltrane....season 3 After 3 weeks of secretly dating, Rosco's girlfriend Sue Ann Bliss shows up in his office wanting to get married even though Rosco wants to wait 6 months. She gets her way and the wedding planning begins. Earlier 2 bad guys accidently crashed into the General and flipped it upside down. They are seen later talking to Sue Ann so clearly something is fishy. When Boss realizes the wedding will happen the same day a $100,000 miner's payroll will be in Hazzard, he calls two guys to steal it, which is also what Sue Ann and her accomplices were planning since the money will be vulnerable when everyone will be at the wedding. Luke gets suspicious after finding a connection between Sue Ann and her accomplices and those suspicions get confirmed after seeing them talking and discovering a wanted poster. During the wedding Boss's bad guys get a flat tire so Sue Ann's guys end up with the money and later stuff Rosco in his trunk on the way to his honeymoon. Bo and Luke rescue him and give him the bad news and catch Sue Ann and the other 2. -- This is the only appearance of Rosco's Mama and she also says "knee knee" LOL and treats her 48 year old son like a kid. She threatened to jump out a high window if he got married. 48 just isn't old enough. -- Rosco was spelled Roscoe on his office door but the e was gone minutes later -- It was a bit creepy when Boss met Sue Ann and starting touching and flirting...good thing Lulu stopped it. -- great line by Mama " You mean you got a girl out of a machine?"

I still wear my Dukes stuff in public and have never had any problems or comments. If I ever do I've already thought of what I'll say. I love to confuse people with logic.....great to hear from you Garrett. I see we're tied for first in your fantasy baseball league....along with everybody else...we're also tied for last.

I thought about that!

Baa Baa White Sheep....season 3 Boss's Great Aunt Emma Lou Hogg just died last week and the reading of the will is getting ready to take place. Boss is worried because he had his identical twin brother, Abraham Lincoln Hogg declared legally dead 5 years ago. Boss illegally unsealed the will early and found out Emma left half of her 100 acres to Abe. In the meantime, Bo was away for a weekend with the USMC Reserves and Luke helped a guy fix his little car and the guy, a forger named Benny the Quill, gave Luke a check for 50 dollars that was no good and got Luke thrown in jail. Abe shows up and even Rosco thinks he's Boss, despite the black suit and black Cadillac convertible. The first person Abe visits is Jesse. Abe is generous, honest, religious and charitable, just the opposite of Boss, so he is Jesse's friend. Boss let Luke out of jail to bring Benny back because he needed the signature of Abe forged to get his half of the estate. When Luke and Daisy brought him back, Abe showed up for a reunion with Boss. Later, Abe heads to Finchburg but the trip was a set up to get Abe arrested so he couldn't make it to the reading of the will. Daisy and Luke rescue Abe and make a dramatic entrance back to Hazzard when the General's brakes go out and it flies through the air and crashes through the wall into the will reading, exposing the fact that Boss, who had been switching black and white clothes to trick Judge Drewton, was running a scam....with a little help from Flash who loved Abe and hated Boss. Of course Abe ended up donating his half to charity and Boss and Rosco spent a night in the Finchburg jail. --We get a glimpse of Abe's driver's license which shows us that he and Boss are 5'5" tall, 200 lbs and were born on April 6, 1926 --When Luke and Daisy pick up Flash we get a look at Rosco and Mama's house. --Daisy ends up in quicksand....a bit scarey --I liked that Bo was in the USMC Reserves because I was at the time too....Bo's hair wasn't short enough though.
