HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMIE!!!! Have a great one!

Kristy lies quietly awake, staring silently into the thick darkness that surrounds her while listening to the soft rhythmic thicking of the old clock. Staring into the darkness, her thoughts slowly drift back to Garrett in jail for stealing the electronics. What if he did steal the electronics? How could he do such a thing to her? She had brought him down to Hazzard to take him away from his rowdy group of friends, bringing him to the family she had left behind so long ago. She should have known that he may resort to his old ways once everyone began to trust him and gotten to know him. He had a past. He'd been kicked out of the Army and has run ins with the law. Why should Hazzard change him? "Damn it," she cusses quietly as she slowly sits up as her emotions continue to grow within her. Guilt steadily builds within her, guilt for not trusting her own brother, for accusing him. What if he didn't do it? Afterall, this is Hazzard and Hogg has framed Bo and Luke plenty of times before. Garrett is a Duke, would Hogg frame him too? Suddenly a pinging noise cracks against her window, attracting her attention only to find the blackness of the night. After a short moment a large rock comes visible as it hits her window. Fear rushes wihtin her as she continues to stare into the darkness, her heart rushing within her as her imagination rushes through her. Fighting her fear of the uncertainty, she climbs slowly out of bed to slowly walk to the window to peer down. Through the street lamp that lies near the drive way's entrance she makes out the muscular form of Garrett. "Garrett," she wonders aloud as she struggles with why he is outside, especially throwing rocks at her window. Taking a deep breath, Kristy slowly moves away from the window to put on an bathrobe before stepping out into the dark window. Making her way to the stairs, she slowly and carefully takes the stairs before coming to the door. Opening the door, she is confronted with Garrett standing a couple of inches upon their front step. "Garrett?" she asks, blocking the door, "What are you doing? They release you already?" "No," he shakes his head as a hint of sadness and fear flashes in his cold eyes before falling emotionless again, "I ... uh...escaped." "Now that'll do you a lot of good," Kristy sighs, "what you going to do when they start looking for you? This will be the first place they look." "I know," he shrugs as he bites onto his lower lip, "I'm not here to stay, I just wanted to," he pauses for a long moment to take her in, "to say I am sorry about all of this." Once again he pauses to flush silence between them as he glares down at his feet. Looking up he continues, "I didn't steal thoses boxes of electronics...I promise. I know what it looks like and I know my past...I'll be charged no doubt. You probably think I did it, don't you?" Kristy stares silently at her brother, taking him in as her guilt soars within her. "Well it crossed my mind," she silently shrus as movement comes from up the stairs, "I'm sorry Garrett." "As I said," he starts as he glances over Kristy's shoulder, "as I said, I know what it looks like. I can't deny that it looks like I did it...but I didn't do it. I swear." "Who is it Kristy?" a tired voice rings out from behind her and Kristy slowly glances behind her to find LB tiredly walking down the dark stairs dressed only his red boxers; his copper brown curly hair lies every which way. "Garrett?" LB questions as he approaches the front door to rest a comforting hand upon Kristy's shoulder, "What you doin' out?" "I escaped," Garrett sighs as he glances over his shoulder, "I need to get going. I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry to do this to you...to put you in the middle." "We could call the sheriff," LB says. "Go for it," Garrett shrugs, "I don't care...perhaps that would be for the best. I hope to see you around sometime." Garrett waves at them before turning back to walk into the darkness of the night. (Cue anyone!)

Capt. Redneck: NASCAR is filled with a lot of talented drivers...drivers that has different abilities and different driving styles. NASCAR is a great sport because of the competiveness between the drivers. It is also great because it gives you 43 or more drivers to chose and to root for. Everyone has the right to their opinion of each driver. Whether you are a huge fan, or you just follow the driver, or you despise the driver. Everyone has their opinion...and has a right to their opinion. I respect that you don't like Jeff Gordon and I respect that you like Tony Stewart. I would appreciate it if you would respect my opinion of Jeff Gordon... Thank-you. Garrett Duke I'm glad you're able to over look me being a Gordon fan, because I've overlooked you being a fan of Tony Stewart.

Yeah so? I don't know what your whole deal is here...no one even said anything about Gordon lately and you have to bring up that he had another bad race...what's the point? So your guy won last Sunday and perhaps made some pretty big steps in his career. But so has Gordon and so has many of the other racers out there on the track. If they weren't good at what they did, they wouldn't be on the track... As for Gordon, he may be riding a good string of bad luck lately, but I wouldn't count him out of the top ten nor the championship. He still has a chance...anything could still happen at this point. Even if, which is a big if, if he doesn't make it, there is always next year. #24 JEFF GORDON Keep it between the ditches ~Garrett Duke~

My favorite episode is "The Ghost of General Lee"...I love the emotion it has in it and that the characters had shown throughout the show. It had showed that dispite the differences the Dukes might have had with the law, they still had cared for one another. Had fun through the chases and all that. I thought Denver did an excellent job with his emotions after he was told his boys had drowned and after Hogg and blamed them for his stolen "Jefferson Davis" watch. I loved the part where Luke was talking through the CB to Rosco...Rosco's response was hilarious. Other favorites is: "one Armed Bandits" "Daisy's Song" "Deputy Dukes" "High Octane" I really enjoyed "Carnival of Thrills" of the emotions between the boys in those two episodes...especially at the end when they made up! I hate to see them fight. I had also enjoyed "Ten Million Dollar Sheriff" and the focus they put on Rosco...another episode that shows that he does care for the boys.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE! I hope it is a great one! Hard to imagine that someone would possibly give Toby a bad review not alone a bad review on "Honkeytonk U". But I suppose there are those out there that don't like him or his new album. I am a huge fan of his and really enjoy his new album. Keep it between the ditches ~Garrett Duke~

There is several things they could do for cover art for season five....They could have the law on the front. Cooter with the General...or Coy and Vance with Cooter. Or Coy and Vance with Bo and Luke. I am not a big fan of Coy and Vance, but I do think they do deserved to get recognized. It isn't their fault that Bo and Luke left, they were given a job and they did it. I highly perfer Bo and Luke, but I will most likely get the set to go with my other DOH collective items. So in that regard, I think they should do a Coy and Vance cover art theme. It would be neat to have them with Bo and Luke and perhaps the General. Or maybe Coy and Vance with Rosco and Enos, Hogg. Keep it between the ditches ~Garrett Duke~

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TOBY!!!!!!!!!!! As a lot of people know, I am an avid Toby Keith fan! I have all of his albums...except for his "Blue Moon" album. I love his music! I saw him once in concert, which was a dream of mine, and he was great! As I expected him to be. Hmmm which one is my favorite song by him? That is a very difficult question for me...I love most of all of his songs. I would have to say it would be "How do you like me now?!", "Shoulda been a Cowboy", and "Dream Walkin'" . Those are to name a few favorites of his. Toby Keith is one of the few people I listen to while I am writing...his music helps inspire my writing...when I am in a slump, his music generally helps me out of it. ~Garrett Duke~

I would have to say that I liked Bo driving a little better than Luke, but I had also enjoyed watching Luke drive. They both had thier own way of doing things. It all had seemed to work well with Bo driving...Bo drove while Luke worked out the plans. And as for why Tom didn't drive very much at first, I heard somewhere that it was Tom's choice, that he perferred riding shot gun. I can't remember where I heard it from...maybe from one of the extras on a DVD set. That's what I heard. . . ~Garrett Duke~

The_Dukes_Generl_Lee01 - It is great to see another Jeff Gordon fan and Dukes of Hazzard fan! A great combination...lol! Racing and Dukes! ~Garrett Duke~

I wouldn't be counting Jeff Gordon out just yet...he may be having a run of bad luck here, but he sure isn't out of reach of making the top ten nor out of reach of achieving another championship. I would also enjoy to see Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace at least be up there somewhere close since it is their last season. It is sad to see such talented drivers to leave as of now. It'd also be great to see Dale Jarrett up there as well. Talk about a great driver who doesn't get much recognition. ~Garrett Duke~

I have seen the entire season of the Coy and Vance era once and I agree with you...I didn't like it. To me, a show without Bo and Luke is a pretty dull show. I mean they still had the other cast and they seemed to try to make up for it, but there is only all they can do with that. But to be fair to the actors that played Coy and Vance...they didn't have it easy, nor is it them at fault. How can they expect two different guys with two different names be exactly like Bo and Luke? If they made them unique with their own personalities, they could have been good. The actors did as they were told... ~Garrett Duke~
