Glad to hear you're well. We don't know any victims either. The hospital where my wife works has had 2 victims but they haven't been in her unit.

I'm excited that you added comments Flint! I hope to see more from others too even if they only add one comment. "Least favorite" probably wasn't the best way to word it. Imagine if someone offered you a choice of a million dollars or a million dollars and one cent. A million dollars would be your least favorite of the options but you'd still be pretty happy if you got stuck with your "least favorite". I'll probably get to Mary Kaye's Baby tonight. I've been working on firewood all day (next year's supply)

It's pretty cool to watch unfold before our very eyes. I'm sure you're right about being tough to match the paint up but if anybody can do it it's you. You're our Arte Bender. -
machete (it has nothing to do with mache but that's all I could think of)

John will turn 60 on April 8 and I will turn 60 on April 15. He was exactly one week old when I was born.

I'd say that food is pretty essential. Since my wife works in a hospital they gave her a paper too. I'm worried about her but I also know that the Boss upstairs is in charge.....and I'm not talking about JD.

I get into the fantasy so much I often forget that they were filmed in southern California but sometimes the landscape is so barren that even being into the fantasy doesn't help much. The cool thing about the Georgia episodes is that everything looks so much like where I live even though it's pretty far from Hazzard Pond to Lake Erie.

It's good to hear from you!
-
This is amazing if you think about it. John will turn 60 in 9 days and Sonny is 84. They portrayed them growing up together even though at the time John was a teenager (19) and Sonny was 43.

Daisy's Song --It was funny when Waylon said that Jessi Colter was good but he is partial to June Carter, especially since Waylon and Jessi were married in real life. In case you didn't know, June Carter was Johnny Cash's wife. Jessi is 76 years old and lives in Arizona today. --I loved it before the boys went to Atlanta and Jesse said not to take advantage of city folks since it ain't their fault they don't know no better. --3 great Waylon quotes.... "You know there's a distinct advantage in never growing up"...talking about Bo and Luke. "It'd have been a lot easier to just give Daisy her 50 bucks back" "Another good thing about Hazzard County. We tend to have happy endings" --This is my least favorite of the Georgia episodes but is still amazing!

One Armed Bandits -- I love the 5 Georgia episodes. The scenery is so realistic....umm, that's because they were filmed in northern Georgia. -- Boss eating raw liver for breakfast! It really was raw liver too. -- The Georgia episodes were a little edgier. An example of that is when Bo said that Luke might have fathered at least 2 of the kids in the orphanage and Luke responded "Bo's always bragging on me." -- The Boar's Nest was loud, dark and rough back then. The first guy Daisy punched was Dennis Haskins, later to become Mr Belding from Saved By the Bell. She later knocked out a female deputy in the jail. -- 15 minutes into the very first episode Cooter and Bo have their arms around an African American named Brodie. Anyone who thinks this show was racist has never seen it. -- Enos and the boys grew up together yet in reality Sonny is old enough to be John's father. To this day it's amazing how young he looks. --Bloopers...another General Lee is seen parked in town when the boys are driving the General. Rosco was spelled Roscoe on banner at end --Bo sure had an ego and he said "Thanks, I've been working on it for years" --What a great ep....it's where the fun all started.

Since Uncle Jesse celebrates his 100th birthday this year (Denver Pyle born May 11, 1920) and since I am now the same age he was when Dukes debuted and since I'm retired now and have more time I'm doing an episode review. I will watch the shows in order, make a few comment and anybody who wants can add their thoughts on that episode. We should wrap this up before the year ends.

Happy birthday Lulu Hogg on March 31, the day before Sadie Hogg Day. We love and miss you sweetheart.

"Lee 1" wreck from "Repo Man" -- PROGRESS PICS
RogerDuke replied to Andrew D Charger Chaser's topic in Hobbies
You actually look a little like me.....not really sure since it wasn't a great picture. Contrary to popular belief I don't look like Uncle Jesse...even though I hope to someday. -
I hadn't heard that. Even though he isn't known by everybody I bet he is the first celebrity to lose his life to it. It's a bit strange that a song about dying was his biggest hit. This has gotten pretty serious. I'm concerned about my wife working in intensive care. Numbers are increasing here. I won't be going back to my job before my retirement date of April 15 so I'm officially retired now because of this.

Cool stuff. It was neat to see that it was displayed at a car show. Is that a reflection of you above Cooter? -
That sounds just like Pennsylvania's rules. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are getting hit hard but not rural Pennsylvania.....yet.

I'm getting ready to start watching the whole series again. I think I'll start a review thread.

Yesterday was Cale's birthday. He was born March 27, 1939. Besides being featured in 2 Dukes episodes here's an interesting trivia fact about Cale: His first ever win was in Valdosta Georgia in 1965. Valdosta is the lifelong home of Sonny Shroyer. I wonder if Sonny was there as a spectator. Happy birthday Cale. I hope it was a good one.

What amazing attention to detail. -
