Is it just me?
Daney - out of curiosity, if it was a nice experience then why are you struggling with Hazzard County? Sorry if I am prying, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, just something that got me wondering. I'd hate to see anyone struggling with Hazzard or the Dukes.

Snow in Hazzard County
Well I guess I owe you a thanks now Roger since I got a free day off today . YAY...at least something positive came about with this snow and wind. I watched my first two Duke episodes in what seems to be forever! I watched "The Great Santa Clause Chase" for Christmas and then went back an episode and watched "Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane". It was great to see the boys and Uncle Jesse once more. You almost have to laugh with Bo when he begins to laugh. Gotta love the Dukes...and now I am finally motivated to write. Now if only my muses would work with me, my day would be perfect! So thanks Roger for cursing on the snow. (Though tomorrow I may feel differently when I actually have to drive in it to work unless by some far off chance I get another day off. Which I find very unlikely)

Snow in Hazzard County
BRRR TexasDaisy. I am glad that you had help with all that. Sounds like we'll be getting the wind tonight and tomorrow as well. Thanks Roger, that would be appreciated. Hopefully I will not need Cooter, but you never know with my car. It don't do well with stopping in the snow/ice or turning. (hope you know I was only giving you a hard time). All is forgiven...especially if they cancel work due to it. We already are starting two hours late...I can surely use the extra sleep. (Fingers crossed that they close...then at least one good thing will come out of this dang weather. LOL...almost as bad as I was in school hoping for a snow day.)

Snow in Hazzard County
I want to thank you Roger...I think you have cursed me and cursed me good you did. LOL. It has snowed off and on today...we are predicted to have six to twelve inches of snow and have blizzard like condition starting at midnight through the entire day. Plus cold weather to top it all off. Yeah...thanks a lot Roger . Sorry couldn't help myself, afterall, someone has to be to blame. Right? I guess Winter is unofficially here.

Snow in Hazzard County
I can live with a warmer winter...or at least not as much snow. I agree with you about worrying about loved ones and accidents. I feel the same way. Mine are safe drivers as well but you never know what may or could happen. Hopefully everyone and all that we know can and will have a safe winter.

Seasons Greetings(Christmas 09)/New Years Challenge?
Seeing the title of this thread, got me thinking that there was no challenge for Christmas. There is still a few days to write one if wanted to. Perhaps I can think of a short one to write...something that may kick my other muses in gear. LOL. Nice idea, Daney! Thanks!

Is it just me?
First of all, thank-you Roger for posting your post here...it gives me some comfort knowing that I am not the only one stuck in Hazzard county. I agree...the realistic part of me realizes the Dukes are just a TV show and that the actors, actresses, producers, creater, writers, and all the other people it took to create and put the Dukes on TV left behind at the end of each working day. And at the end of the show, they had just left the characters and the show behind to work on "new" shows and new things to help finance them and their families. True they made appearances had Dukefests for all the fans to enjoy and it all is great and am very glad and grateful that they took time out in their busy and hectic schedules to do that...to visit the fans and to keep the show alive. If not for that, I would never had the special occasions to meet as many of the living actors as I did from the show or get their autographs. But the adventures of Bo and Luke, Boss and Rosco, Jesse, Daisy, and Cooter had all seemed to lay to rest with the end of the show and at the end of the reunions (though I agree, am not a big fan of the reunions myself. Though am always glad to see something or anything to do with the original Duke characters.) Though I know the Dukes is just a "show" it is also more than just a show as you pointed out Roger. It is something special and something I will always concider one of my favorites no matter how outdated it seems to be. Hazzard is a place I would dream of living in, being able to know Bo, Luke, daisy, Jesse, and Cooter as well as the law would be great. To live in a place to watch the excitement and drama of the Dukes vs the local law and allt he other bad guys/gals that visited Hazzard time in and time out, yet knowing at the end, there will be an happy ending. That all will be Ok when it all ends. To know the good always wins and where everyone respects one another, helps one another, would be great. I doubt that there is a person on this site that wouldn't love to live in Hazzard, to be able to witness first hand The General outbeating the local compitition or the law, or just to know the characters of the show. In a word to sum up living in Hazzard would be "awesome". So in short, Roger, I agree with you. I have seen a few episodes of Smallville and do own a few Schneider and a Wopat CD as well as seen a few other shows that they have been in - it is not the same. I have never seen Christmas comes to Willow Creek - though I would love to do so. I am a fan of Tom, John, Ben, James and all the actors and actresses on the show, but I agree with you Roger -I am a much bigger fan of Bo, Luke, Daisy, Jesse, Cooter, Boss, and Rosco, Enos. I guess in other words, Roger, I am trying to say - you are not the only one to feel that way.

Snow in Hazzard County
In the middle of nowhere Iowa, we normally get snow way before now. We got some Thursday, but that has been about it here. It is getting way too cold here for my liking. I really dislike the snow and ice and cold weather. But yeah it is amazing and odd on how the weather has been. We normally get hot and humid summers, but this summer it was warm but nothing like it normally gets and our fall has been decent as well. It hasn't gotten too cold until the last half of last week. BRRRR...bring snow for Christmas and then let it all melt away until next Christmas if you ask me.

My thanksgiving
Thanks Dukefan1 for posting the pictures that you did - they all looked very familiar. I wonder why? LOL. Lucky you to be able to go there...I have always wanted to go there in person and to see what it all looked like and all. I am glad that you were able to do so and have some pictures of it. Looks like a fun time. Hopefully you will be able to go there again next year. Thanks again!
