Dang that's cool!!!!!Many have heard of the "Don't Mess With Texas" anti-litter ad campaign. 30 years ago, Texas Department of Transportation filmed an amazing commercial involving the Confederate Air Force. Below are production shots. B-17 flyover was breathtaking at ~20 feet altitude. Location was near Midland, TX.
Actual commercial
Flyby footage. Amazing for such a big bird.

US Postal Service should hire Rudolph as a consultant. He is way more efficient than they are.
Wonder if you could even make a commercial like that these days with all the OSHA laws and so forth.Many have heard of the "Don't Mess With Texas" anti-litter ad campaign. 30 years ago, Texas Department of Transportation filmed an amazing commercial involving the Confederate Air Force.

Probably would be all computer generated. And of course the name of the 'Air Force' would have to be changed.
My first car was a 55 Chevy. Not a hard top, but a V-8.
I've heard a lot of people say it's even better spiked. I guess I'm going to have to try some bourbon in eggnog and find out.
I moved to Texas in 1985. 1986 was the Texas sesquicentennial. It was wonderful.
I had kin there before it became a republic. I have nothing but good family. We were rebels. We would fight for any cause!
I liked Willie Nelson's records but didn't like his performances. He seldom sang them in his performances like they were recorded. Same for Jerry Lee Lewis.
Seeing one part bourbon to 5 parts eggnog. I also plan on trying some very soon.
yes you are exactly correct.
Willie never sang the same song the same way twice.
. . . . are we kin?
I like my eggnog: 10 parts bourbon to zero parts eggnog!
Not sure. My real name is Fred Higginbotha. But I've never gotten into genealogy.
I have probably told the story before, but once, when I was in Austin, I sat on the same bed in a hotel room, with Willie, Kris Kristofferson and a couple of guys from Willie's band. Listened to them jam for about an hour.
I would have loved that.
Ha, I think you may be that only person...
I do like spiced rum but have refrained from any hard liquor for years but the spiced rum is PERFECT for eggnog... (Try it a time or too... That type rum really sets off the flavor of the ....concoction... 😉
It was an experience. I was walking down a corridor in the hotel, and they had their door open. I stuck my head in to see where all the music was coming from, and they invited me in. They were there making a movie, The Songwriter.
Pure history:
Sir,
It doesn't matter the msm just tells it backwards and the lie is now the truth... amazing how that works...
Don’t know why but I’ve always had a liking for weird combinations and food and drink. Won’t mention any food combinations, don’t want to make any of y’all go off your feed. And yeah, I like spice rum occasionally, will have to try that next week.Ha, I think you may be that only person...

Expect it for when it happens it won't hurt as much. Had a Sergeant Major who once told me to always expect no so that when it came you would be ready for it. But, if you got yes you would be happier for it.
My wife is going to fry up a mess of chicken gizzards for our supper. I am the only one that eats them so I think she is wanting something from me. I bet tomorrow she hits me with a "Christmas Wish"
I thought my Christmas shopping was over but apparently not. If she bakes some biscuits and makes some milk gravy that is a sign she wants a big $$$$$ item. But chicken gizzards, milk gravy and biscuits would be worth it

Works that way here too as it goes to OKC and then back but only takes three days.
This reminds me of when my wife and I were first married. We did not have a wedding shower and got zero wedding presents other than my dad bought us a small screen black and white TV. So we bought items like toasters, kitchen pots and pans, etc for each other. Many we still have. I borrowed $20 from my wife to have enough to get married on. I think I was making $80 a month back then as a corporal in the Army.
Watched Memphis Belle last night with my wife. We had been watching Christmas movies lately and were channel hopping when we came across it and she saw the look on my face and knew I would rather watch that than then on going onslaught of Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies she had us watching. Since she works and I can watch what I want during the day she gets to pick the evenings entertainment. We'll she likes the movie too so...Memphis Belle it was.Many have heard of the "Don't Mess With Texas" anti-litter ad campaign. 30 years ago, Texas Department of Transportation filmed an amazing commercial involving the Confederate Air Force.

Correct. Founded after Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, which is now a Texas state holiday.I moved to Texas in 1985. 1986 was the Texas sesquicentennial. It was wonderful.

Below is a photo of the last known surviving veterans from that battle taken in 1906 during their reunion.
A BIG YES
Resounding yes! Called "Leberwurst" over in Germany. I love it on toast.
Always frosty around the solstice.
