Sometimes we can give helpful advice from our own various experiences. But....we can always listen with a caring ear and a loving heart! You all are too kind. Thank you.

HossC Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Today I got to go on a river cruise with a group that I'm part of. It was nearly two hours each way with a stop-over for a hotel meal in the middle. We were hoping for a brighter day, but a bit of mist and rain on the outward journey didn't dampen our spirits, and the return trip was dry with much better visibility.

Did you see any castles? Garrett Duke, Skipper Duke and Hobie Hartkins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 20 hours ago, RogerDuke said: Sounds like fun. Did you see any castles? Yes, but we didn't get to visit them. There's the ruins of a Norman castle which I've read dates from 1170. It's on a private estate and I don't think it's publicly accessible. It's quite close to the river. The other is more recent with a build date of 1895, although it incorporates elements going back to medieval times. It's on a private island, but has been a hotel since the 1980s and is attached to a neighboring golf course.

RogerDuke Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 Rough day today. The guy who crossed the center line and killed my daughter was formally charged with homicide by motor vehicle, involuntary manslaughter and 6 other traffic offenses. Sure stirs up bad memories of being at the accident scene and seeing the cars and hearing the bad news from the trooper.

RogerDuke Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 Already starting to see some leaves start to fall around here. Not many but it is a sign of things to come. And high school football starts in a week. I remember when Dukes was on Friday nights it actually cut into attendance at high school football games. That's because you couldn't record it back then and since it was (and is) the best show ever made, nobody wanted to miss it.

Yes Gy Waldron States in an interview "In Mississippi and Alabama, on some of the schools, they had to change the Friday night football games to Saturday. Because the kids weren't coming.

Hobie Hartkins Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 (edited) In a very short while I'll be celebrating my BD ( it's tomorrow but since today is DOHD, I thought I'd go ahead....:) ) HAPPY DOHD everybody !! * DOHD- Dukes Of Hazzard Day....a holiday that is celebrated in Hazzard like Thanksgiving day, Labor Day etc. except this is celebrated every Friday and culminates around 7pm central!! I'm about to enjoy some adult beverages and put a DVD in a little later after the news and Jeopardy! DOHD is a celebration of those kind of days when you seemed to be freer and happier. It takes you back to the day and time when we all were more innocent and less judgmental and where we had a pure enjoyment of life! I think everyone here can agree, that this alone is a good enough reason to celebrate Dukes Of Hazzard Day! So to all my fellow Hazzardites.......HAPPY DOHD!!

RogerDuke Posted September 6 Author Report Share Posted September 6 Tomorrow (Saturday) it's the US vs Great Britian again, just like the old days only bullets won't fly, just a basketball. It is going to be the gold medal game for men's basketball in the Paralympics. My friend Trevon Jenifer plays for the US and has already won 2 gold medals in previous Paralympics. The cool thing is that tomorrow is his birthday. USA! (I'm just happy they aren't playing Urbekistan) Meadowmufn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL Eagles played the Packers last night in Brazil and they wouldn't let the Eagles wear green because that is the color of the local soccer team's biggest rival. The Packers were designated as the visiting team so they could wear green. I bet the locals were happy that the evil green team lost.
