Meadowmufn got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in The last 24 hours
I was listening to police band the night of my last post, when there was supposed to be even a larger crowd down the street. Seems some kid tried to sell a stolen gun to the security guard at the weed shop down the street. He said he wanted to kill a cop and get into a shoot out with them. The guard called the cops and they chased him down the main drag. They stopped him and recovered the gun without incident. Guess the kid really didn't want that after all. I forgot how interesting it was listening to police band. Last time I did that for an entire evening was back around when Dukes was still originally airing.

The PD in my hometown in CA got word looters and rioters were planning to hit the mall 2 blocks from my parents' house. It's one of the largest malls in the US and just underwent a $280 million renovation. The PD blocked all entrances, exits, and streets around the mall with buses, garbage trucks, shipping containers, and wrecked cars. They had armored SWAT vehicles and fire trucks inside the perimeter. Seems the looters decided there wasn't anything worth looting there last night.

I'm sure they've been framed - Uncle Jesse wouldn't be happy if he found they'd been looting .

I'm sorry to say, the law finally caught up to them Duke boys. Saw this while monitoring regional police activity because we had some looting and a small riot about a mile from our house.

I just read about that this morning! Very cool. I wish a station in the US would carry it again.

Meadowmufn got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in Two tough questions
I spent some time looking through voice over promos for some of CBS' regular promo artists and couldn't find a match. I can tell you who it isn't. It's not Don Robertson, John Leader, Dave Fennoy, Mark Elliot, Brad Crandall, Chuck Riley, Norm Stevens, or Gaylord Avery.

Meadowmufn got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in Coronavirus
We're ok here still so far. In our morning meeting for work (almost everybody except those with essential business in the office are working from home), someone mentioned that we're starting to flatten the curve here in Washington. Hopefully, the rest of the country will be following right behind us soon.
So far, I don't personally know anyone who has gotten COVID-19 (at least not a confirmed case, just suspected cases that they recovered from) and I hope it stays that way!
Y'all stay safe and healthy.

Just heard Joe Diffie, country singer, has passed from COVID-19.

Aww, shucks.
I've missed you guys, too. Work has been unbelievable lately. People leaving in droves and they're not hiring other folks to help and so our workload keeps increasing and our workforce keeps shrinking. A lot of people sick from stress. I'm looking for another job because I can't stand this much longer.

We always buy the biggest pack of toilet paper we can get, with mega rolls. We had just bought one a few weeks ago right before the insanity set in, so we're set for at least another week or two. Our freezer in the garage is full of mostly meat and a few tv dinners. We have some shelves with a lot of canned goods too out there. The inside fridge is starting to run a little low, but we have food for probably 3-4 weeks, longer if we ration a bit and get creative. And then, we have the "desperation time" freeze dried Mountain House rations for extreme emergencies.
I come from a long line of country folk, so I'm properly trained on the intricate details of outhouse usage and have successfully avoided splinters and spiders multiple times. LOL. Our clan tends to prefer Sears catalog over corn cobs. When the tp runs out, we'll be ready.

Since I've been sick for so long, mine and hubby's lives haven't changed a whole lot with self-isolation. LOL. Now everybody else gets to experience how I've been living. Hubby and I are both being careful because we're both immunocompromised. We're going to be home for a very long haul. Fortunately, I'm an introvert and ever since I was a kid I had no problems finding ways to entertain myself.
I hope y'all are doing well. If you happen to read this, please check in on this thread so we know you're doing ok.
The West coast seemed to shut down pretty quickly and it appears to have slowed the spread a bit. I see the East coast has exploded though. Stay safe over there, Easties.
And if you're one of the ones who happened to hoard toilet paper, I've heard you can make moonshine from it...

Sorry guys. I've been very sick. My Hashimoto's has been flaring (mostly due to job stress) and I've been sleeping about 16 hours a day. Very little energy for anything other than working. I appreciate all of you keeping this place going.
I'm in the process of looking for another job because I can't keep going on like this.

I think it will be here again. The movie has been on recently (even though I don't like it) and it has the flag. Tides turn slow.

Meadowmufn got a reaction from Hobie Hartkins in A Family From A TV Show
I saw a commercial tonight for The Walking Dead. It was about fans coming together and becoming friends over the show. One of the fans said something along the lines of "I've created a family out of a tv show." Well, Dukes fans have been doing that for FORTY years! I know I'm not around here as often, but you all have helped me through some tough times. You're my Dukes family.
