Garrett Duke

STP sponsored the King, Richard Petty when he was still racing in NASCAR.

*Watching the familiar scene pass by him, Bo's mind wonders from the mundane list Jesse had sent him to town only to make him wonder if this was Jesse's way of getting him out of his way. To thoughts of what Luke may be doing now. Other than taking care of their aunt and her farm, what else was there for Luke to do. Only to make him wonder if Luke was missing him as well.* Nah he's probably glad to be away from me. Not to put up with me any longer. Probably dreads returning home.* Bo rants aloud as his mind falls upon the harsh argument he had with Luke the night before he left Hazzard with Daisy. Words were spoken by both of them that deep down they know neither one meant, but it stung all the same. They've had their fights in the past, but normally, they'd wake up the next morning apologizing and feeling stupid over fighting over whatever it was. Not this time. Luke could barely look at him to say good-bye before he gotten into Dixie with Daisy. Oddly enough, neither Jesse nor Daisy has yet to say one word about it. Only to give Bo the hint that Luke had already told them about it and that they sided with Luke. But how else was Bo suppose to feel and act after what Luke had done? He may no longer say it aloud, but he looked up to Luke, admired who he was, wished he could be more like him. Smart, thoughtful, and quick. Whereas Bo felt like he was the opposite. He was naive, careless, and easy to upset. Bo got them both into trouble by his temper, his quick mouth, and his lack of thought before acting out; Luke always got them out of trouble with his thoughtfulness and brains. Bo was willing to look past what Luke had done to him due to how he admired Luke, but it was what was said that hurt the most, that had upset him the most. And of course, Bo being who he was, had quick comebacks to what Luke had said only to make it all worse. The silence that morning before they had left had almost been unbareable to Bo and had built some guilt within him, but his stubbornness and pride allowed Luke to leave before addressing Luke and how he felt. Or to apologize for his harsh words. And now all that will have to wait until whenever Luke decided it was time to return to Hazzard.* Just me and you, General * Bo says aloud to change his line of thought as he enters the small town while pocketing the list Jesse had given to him.

Bo Duke: 41 Luke Luke: 57 Jesse Duke: 2 I gave a point to Bo and i took one away from Luke

Further news on Jack Roush...he has been transported to a Mayo clinic after he had surgery to his facial injuries he had suffered. He is still in serious but stable condition.

Bo: 39 Luke: 58 Jesse: 3

*Nods slightly at Jesse before turning back and walking to The General. Climbing into The General, feels the lonely feeling once again tugging at him as he finds himself looking across the car at the empty passenger seat. Where Luke would've been sitting if he were there. Breathing in deeply he starts the car and listens to the powerful engine while reminding himself that it all is temporary. Sooner or later, Luke will be home and griping at him for something he done wrong as was normal from time to time.* "Just you and me today, General," Bo speaks up as he backs the car up and out onto the dirt road.

NASCAR Sprint Cup series car owner Jack Rousch (owns Carl Edwards', Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, and David Ragan's cars) was hospitalized Tuesday after a plane accident in Wisconsin. He is serious but in stable condition. Guess he is under doctor's observations as he suffers facial injuries.

You are welcome, Roger. Being a baseball fan, thought that may help make it a little more sense than if I tried to explain it myself. Nationwide Series races I think are aired...perhaps on ESPN. They are interesting to watch, I just never really think of it when they are on. They are racing at Iowa's track this Saturday ...which is a track that Rusty Wallace built. Last year was the first year that Nationwide raced there and Kyle Busch won. Hopefully I'll catch at least some so I can see what it at least looks like. Am glad that Iowa has finally got a NASCAR track...now if only Sprint Cup would race on it. I just wish Rusty had built it bigger than what he did...

Makes sense, Jami Lee. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome Earl to HNet! It is always great to meet new Duke fans, especially ones that can talk all day about the show! Get me on the Dukes or NASCAR, I can talk all day about. Of course that is about all I know about. Anyway, hope you enjoy your stay and to see you around!

Hope you had a very special and great birthday! Happy birthday, Jimmie!

Hey Lori! Roger's right, don't stay away so long next time. Well how is it y'all get author's that are known...at least I know them, and I get one I never heard of before. Don't know if I should take that as a good thing or a bad thing. LOL. I agree Lori, I like the Di Vinci Code. But never read his Demons & Angels book. Though have heard of it.

Bo nods slightly as he feels a slow tickle of wind brush up against the back of his neck. Looking at Jesse, he sighs and says, "Well, I'll get goin' to town to pick these things up. Anything else?" He takes a couple of steps backwards, giving Jesse a quizzical look though thinking he already knows the answer to the question. If Jesse wanted anythign else, he'd have put it on the paper.

Good golly Roger, should have known you'd be a fan of Sponge Bob. I for one can't stand the show and can't believe anyone would be talking about it on Hnet.

They do tape up the grill and they said why several times but can't think of the reason...something about the air I think and tempeture but that is all I can say off the top of my head. JJ and Gordon had rough races yesterday. There was a lot of empty seats there yesterday. NASCAR keeps worrying about the lack of fans and the lack of TV audiences it is gathering each week. THey also keep saying something about big changes or changes next year. Am interested to see what it is. Hopefully it is all good. The announcers refused to talk about the empty seats...at the start of the race, one of the announcers stated that they saw the empty seats but they weren't going to talk about it, isntead they were going to talk about the race.
