I've seen two things recently that have given me hope. An article about Ray Kohn's jump in Detroit mentioned that the flag wasn't a big issue since people like Dukes so much. I'm pretty bad with finding stuff on the web but I saw an article about how even the mayor had a picture taken with the General. (If someone can refind that and post the link here I'd appreciate it). I also opened my Sunday newspaper and saw a section called Parade that has been around in Sunday's paper as long as I can remember. On the front was characters from the TV series Dallas comparing what those stars made to modern stars (adjusted for inflation). Inside was a picture of Bo and Luke with the hood up on the General and no mention of the flag controversy. Politically correct winds change direction with time and I hope that is starting to happen. I'm not saying that society here in America will make any more TV shows with the flag on it....unless it is in a historical context....but I do think folks have woken up and realized there was nothing racial about the Dukes....or any other show or movie that showed the flag. Simple logic shows this. If a person watches "Gone With the Wind" they are not watching something that is promoting the return of slavery or justifying it in any way. But sometimes logic doesn't always win out in tragedies like the one that happened in South Carolina. Taking the Dukes off the air and punishing innocent Dukes fans for the acts of a madman was wrong. I get it. Sometimes knee jerk reactions happen. That's human nature. It is my hope that the tide is turning and we will see a return of the reruns someday. It may not happen soon but as the healing continues and we head in the right direction it is possible. It's like old Waylon says "In Hazzard we tend to like happy endings."

Can somebody post a link here with Ray's latest jump in Detroit? It can be found on his website at northeast Ohio dukes.

There sure are some disappointed Jr fans out there. I wonder if he'll just take a couple years off and then come back. I'm still not convinced that Jeff Gordon is going to stay retired.

I remember I was in a school bus garage in Fredonia New York when the Dukes were still being filmed in the mid eighties and a school bus mechanic was telling me that the makers of the show advertised for wanting to buy Chargers in most newspapers across the country. When I doubted him he pulled out the local paper and showed me. Of course that didn't prove they advertised everywhere else but it sure made a dramatic point. He owned a late 60s Charger and wasn't happy that he was having trouble finding parts because of the show....he was a Dukes fan though!

I wish I could help you Joe. I'm not a computer guy either. Maybe Hoss can help. I sure hope you hang around for awhile. We can use some new members around here.

LOL Thanks Hoss. Don't give me too much credit. I had no idea how to post this but it was pretty easy for my daughter to figure out. My computer life consists of fantasy sports, e-mail and HazzardNet and that is not likely to change any time soon. I'm still of the mind-set that more bad than good will come from computers. (like cyber war). The longer I'm wrong about that, the happier we'll all be.

Thanks to my daughter for the best birthday cake ever!

Thanks for letting us know Hoss. Even though he lived a long life it's still tough for us Dukes fans to see folks like him pass on. So many of the folks who weren't major characters are so loved by us serious Dukes fans. May he rest in piece.

I'm sitting here watching the 2007 movie"Norbit". I've never seen it before but it was filmed in Hazzard Square. My wife was watching it so I just sat down with her and I see they even showed the inside of Boss's house. Has anybody else seen this?...just waiting for this commercial to end so I can see more.

I hope everybody is having a happy Easter. What are you doing today? (or if you're reading this after Easter what did you do?) We're having a lot of family over....too many....our house is small and It's supposed to rain so we won't be able to hang out outside.

Have a great birthday on Monday April 17 cousin Coy! Keep it between the ditches!
