I just found out they arrested 5 people. There was some kind of drug deal gone bad and a girl got beat up in the middle of it all. I'm not sure where the guy who knocked on my door fit in. Usually the most excitement we get in my corner of the sticks involves animals.
One thing I find funny about all this is the curfews. Hmm, let me think here. These folks are shooting cops, setting police stations, police cars and business on fire. They're terrorizing, stealing and vandalizing. Do you really think they're going to say "Ah, shucks. I can't do that stuff anymore because I'm not allowed outside past 9:00."
We just had some excitement in the neighborhood. Some tall guy on drugs knocked on my parents door (a mile away from me) asking for a ride. When my dad said no the guy ran off in the woods behind the house. He ended up at someone else's house and did the same....and another and another. Since we don't get many folks knocking on our doors out in the sticks at night the cops were called in. They ended up looking for him with 4 different cars. I only have one neighbor close to me (different road than my parents) and he called me and said the guy was there and was now coming to my house. When he knocked I didn't answer the door but called the cops to let him know he was here. When the cops came I told them which direction he went. I also called the neighbors in that direction to warn them. No word yet if they caught him. I like helping folks but when when someone is on drugs they can be a little unpredictable.
Shucks. We put new floors in so emptied out the living room. I was real careful to mark every wire on the satellite, VCR, TV, Wii and all that other stuff. Now that I've hooked everything back up the VCR isn't working. It's probably something simple but I'm a complicated guy who hates technology (oxymoron?) and I can't figure it out after trying everything. How appropriate that my next episode is Hazzardville Horror.....not being able to see Dukes is horrific. Guess I'll wait for the Mrs to get home. Maybe she can figure it out....
I really like this thread. It's always nice to see how everybody's doing. We finished the flooring we were replacing. It was tough work but was worth it. It's raining today so I won't get outside to do firewood. That's good since I could use the rest. I'm watching dirt bike races now that I recorded. Supercross is jamming a lot of races into 3 weeks to get caught up.
We're starting the last day of a 3 day remodeling job so I haven't had time for much TV. I hope to get an episode in this evening. Happy June everybody. It's technically not the first day of summer but June 1st always feels like summer to me.
It's been pretty rainy here the last two days. Sure is delaying everything I need to get done outside. The mosquitos are starting to come out too. Oh well, I knew that would happen. I'm glad I enjoyed things while I could. And these fresh leaves are blocking my satellite tv signal. Time to fire the chainsaw up again.
Enos Strate to the Top....season 3
Deputy Enos Strate has been applying to big city police departments because that has been a secret dream of his and also because he is tired of Boss's dirty tricks. On their annual trip to Atlanta Daisy takes Jesse's picture in front of the Atlanta National bank and (by Duke luck) happens to get bank robbers in the picture. The bad guys follow them to Hazzard in an attempt to get the camera and film. They come to the farm at night but get caught but shoot out tires on all 3 Duke vehicles. Boss fires Enos and hires Cletus. Rosco isn't too happy and even offers to give up part of his pay to keep Enos. The bank robbers kidnap Daisy but don't give her back when the Duke boys deliver the recently developed pictures. Eventually the bad guys get caught and Enos gets a job with the Los Angeles police department, and a big hug from Rosco. At the airport Daisy asks him if he's nervous about flying and he says "I've never flown anything....except a car"
-- This episode has two debutes...Flash and Miz Emma Tisdale
-- The scene where Enos turns the sign around to show the bad guys that it is quicksand that their car just did an upside down flip in is featured on the opening of every Enos episode.
-- We learn that Bo was a linebacker in high school.
-- Boss was in a wheelchair this whole episode because of gout
-- Enos mentioned the hurricane of 1972....I remember Hurricane Agnus.
-- Rosco was talking about how poor the Dukes are "if money was pole cat perfume you couldn't smell them through a barb wire fence"
--bittersweet....Enos leaves Hazzard but gets his own show. You know a show is huge when it gets a spin-off.
