August 11, 20242 yr 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?
August 12, 20242 yr 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.
August 13, 20242 yr Right now I'm indulging in a few adult beveriges ( drink Heineken, you'll feel fine again! ) and I thought you guys might like this. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082825077872&sk=reels_tab&__tn__=-]
August 13, 20242 yr Author Norman Castle? Was it named after King Nervous Norman who lost an important document that was found by a Duke?

August 16, 20242 yr Author 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.
August 16, 20242 yr Author 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. They were staying home to watch The Dukes."

The last thing I heard her yell was something about priorities.

August 30, 20242 yr 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!! Edited August 30, 20242 yr by Hobie Hartkins
September 1, 20242 yr Author Since you are an hour behind me it's still Aug 31 where you are at even though it is Sept here. I'm so happy I logged in just in time to wish you happy birthday on the actual day. You are a good man Hobie. I hope you had an extra good birthday.

September 6, 20241 yr Author 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)

England are playing Ireland at football (soccer) tomorrow in Dublin, so that'll probably more watched over here.

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.
