Last time Roger was here he said he was back from Akron and was having his grandchildren over for the night, so no clues there. Having said that, he has been known to take a break from the internet from time to time.

Must've been something wrong with the camera. Here's how it should've looked :

It's definitely got colder here since the middle of the week, and although parts of the UK have snow (reports say it could hit -12C (10.4F) tonight), so far there's no snow here. I did, however, find this rather beautiful frost pattern on my car roof this morning:

Yesterday, Haas decided to sack Nikita Mazepin and sever ties with his father's company which was their title sponsor. F1 has not only cancelled this year's Russian Grand Prix, but also the contract for future races which were due to move from Sochi to St Petersburg in 2023.

Where are you getting your information from, Skipper? According to IMDb, 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke' first aired on US TV on February 25th, 1983. Just like this year, that was a Friday (as remembered by Roger). I also make it that John and Tom missed 18 episodes, not 19.

Skipper, I'm trying to work out why you misquoted a line near the end of the scene without any context, and then made a separate post where you quoted most of the rest of the scene with extra words added here and there. Please check your quotes and give them at least a little context.
Mason Dixon, Sam and Tinker approach Rosco, who is sleeping at his desk.
Mason Dixon: "Uh, excuse me."
Rosco (waking up): "Don't you threaten me..."
Mason Dixon: "My name is Mason Dixon, and these two ladies here are my associates."
Sam: "We're investigating a call you made to Atlanta."
Tinker: "Yeah, concerning a couple of fellas that you caught with a whole bunch of marijuana."
Boss appears from behind a pillar, listening to the conversation.
Rosco: "Well, FBI, huh? Boy, you FBI, you, you get around quick. You little rascals, you..."
Boss: "Oh, hush, hush, Rosco. They never said they was from the FBI."
Rosco: "Oh, no, you didn't."
Boss: "And besides, let me tell you, personally I know that I've never seen no FBI people with..."
Rosco: "With big little dimples."
Boss: "...big little dimples. No, wearing clothes like these."
Rosco: "No that's..."
Mason Dixon: "We're not with the Federal Bureau. We're private investigators...
Boss: "Private investigators? Sir, the government don't hire no private investigators."
Rosco: "No."
Mason Dixon: "No, sir, but we work independently..."
Sam: "Sheriff, oh sheriff, can't we talk to them fellas in their cells for just a little-bitty minute?"
Rosco: "Yeah, you... No. Yes. No. I mean, I'd let you. But I can't. I mean... They ain't in the cells!"
Boss: "Rosco, hush, hush, hush, hush will you, and just ignore them dimples. The next time she bats her eyes at you, you'll probably tell her where the Duke Boys live."
Mason Dixon: "Duke? So that's their name, Duke?"
Boss: "What?"
Mason Dixon: "Thanks a lot for your help."
Rosco: "Well, listen..."
Boss: "No, no, wait a minute. I, I..."
Mason Dixon, Sam and Tinker leave.
Rosco: "See, see, Boss, you told..."
Boss: "Me, me, me? It was you who made me tell them, you dodo."
Rosco: "No, it wasn't. See, they had cute little dimples..."
Boss: "Oh, forget the cute dimples. Just get out there and find them Duke boys before they do. You hear me? Go!"
Rosco: "Well, I'm, I'm gone."
Rosco leaves while Boss rants to himself.

This song was supposedly written by Sheryl Crow (and Jeff Trott) about her ex-boyfriend, Eric Clapton. I thought it'd be fun to post the live version where Sheryl guest stars with Eric:
(Live with Eric Clapton)
I'm gonna miss it too . I'm hoping the news is that they're entering a monastic order and taking a vow of silence .

Thanks, MonacoMan. It's taken me a few days to dig out my DVD of 'Rebel Without a Cause'. You only get a couple of shots of the exterior of the police station in the movie, and they're at night (unless I missed something skipping through). The entrance has had quite a few modifications over the years, so I'll have to try and get a similarly angled screengrab from Dukes for a comparison.

It looks like the US-based Haas F1 team may be trying to ditch their Russian driver, Nikita Mazepin. It turns out that his father, Dmitry, is a billionaire who supplies a lot of sponsorship money to the team, but he also has close ties to Vladimir Putin. If he does go, I don't see it being a great loss to the sport!

Great, because it looks like ...

It will never die.
Y'all may remember this one from 'Christine'.

This video from BBC show 'Top of the Pops' shows band member Jeffrey Daniel premiering a move we now as the Moonwalk. This was about a year before Michael Jackson performed his first one. Daniel went on to work as a choreographer for Jackson.

How about a bit of soul?:
This 1967 classic is by Aretha's older sister.
As "Weird Al" would say:
You can torture me
With Donnie & Marie
You can play some Barry Manilow
Or you can play some schlock
Like New Kids On The Block
Or any Village People song you know
Or play Vanilla Ice
Hey, you can play him twice
And you can play the Bee Gees any day
But Mr. DJ, please
I'm beggin' on my knees
I just can't take no more of Billy Ray
Don't play that song
That "Achy Breaky" song
The most annoying song I know
And if you play that song
That "Achy Breaky" song
I might blow up my radio, ooo

Tires come in sets in F1, so changing 3 would have resulted in the car being recalled to the pits and possibly a fine for the team.
BTW. In Ireland, Woodies is a store similar to Home Depot in the US.

I'd like to assure MaryAnne that this song is not about a certain NASCAR driver .

I know I could put this in 'One Word Song Titles':
Rubberbandman - Yello
1991 track from the eccentric Swiss duo. My CD single came in a great 3D rubber sleeve:

I picked up some cool, limited edition CDs and vinyl back then. There used to be so many good record stores in London - maybe four major chains and over a dozen independents. When I went back recently I found that the only surviving major store, HMV, had closed one of its three large West End stores and there are only about three or four independents of the ones I used to visit. I guess this is the price we pay for MP3s.
While we're on 'rubberband' songs, I thought I'd also include Rubberband Girl by Kate Bush. I must dig the single out so I can rip it to my computer.
Thanks Brian, these guys could give Rosco's '10 Million Dollar Sheriff' suit a run for its money.

Sorry, Big Enos, I don't know where he is.
 

This lady isn't painted
This song was written for, and featured in
a couple of years ago. The picture of Eva Longoria (I hear she's in a popular TV show) is because she appeared in another commercial for a similar product (from the same company) around the same time. The similarity between this song and
has been much commented upon.
The worrying thing about my last post is that YouTube offered me a version by the cast of Glee - is nothing safe .

I'm glad it was just the mustache!

I Ain't Living Long Like This - Waylon Jennings
Garrett, your link goes to 'I'm Gonna Leave You Tomorrow'. 'What's A Memory Like You (Doing In A Love Like This)' can be found here. Don't worry - it's not like it's a hardship having to listen to two John Schneider songs .

From the Clint Eastwood movie 'Any Which Way You Can' - "Right turn, Clyde" .

F1 has been using single lug rims for decades (it's one of the reasons that F1 pit stops can be so quick), but they still cause problems from time to time. It's been a while since a car left the pits with a loose wheel that subsequently came off, but there were several cases last year where teams either struggled to get lug nuts undone or cross-threaded them putting wheels on.

P.S. Thanks for including Jacques Villeneuve's finishing position, Spike.
