UK I think ours here is 11'4", this last one ripped the entire top off. It looked like he got started thru it and then said well might as well rip it all off!!!!! This has been going on for as long as I can remember and I am 70!!! Wish I knew how many 100's that has wrecked there!!!!
Amazing how that works and um.. how predictable it is
Has anyone in the D League seen our Rooster or heard from him? He is missed. Any word from you cousin, Bert?
Can you imagine the crap that they have to take when they get back to the dispatcher.
Oh no, not another straw man argument.No rain yet, but it is August.
But anyway:
My straw looks better than yours!
They should have a videotape in every classroom.
This song always reminded me of the Baptism of Devil Anse Hatfield. The leader of the Hatfield Clan is the man standing on the right, with the white shirt, no hat and a full beard. My great grandfather was at the baptism and he always swore when Devil Anse went under, steam rose from the creek. So said grandpa too. This was 1911 so I wouldn't know but it makes for a good tale
That’s a great story Sawnee. Imagine what that day must have been like after so many bloody years of feuding. I suspect there were folks in the crowd hollaring “dunk him twice!”This song always reminded me of the Baptism of Devil Anse Hatfield.

I love that series also. Plus my favored Western of the last two decades was Open Range. I suppose if you considered the actors politics we would not watch many movies.
The movie was pretty accurate historically. My g-grandfather was in the same CSA unit with Captain Devil Anse, 45th Virginia and later the "Logan Wildcats". He lived very close to him in Logan County, WVA and he when the feud broke out he sided with the Hatfields. They fought for Virginia because West Virginia was still Virginia when the war broke out. My g-grandfather was also in the same unit and he joined the CSA at age 56. This area of (West) Virginia was pro-Confederate and the people identified as Virginians.

This is my g=grandfather with his wife and youngest child. He had about 10 young-uns.
The rifle is a Sharps carbine he used in the war. My grandfather had a rifle that had "Devil Anse Hatfield" engraved in the stock and my cousin was with him one day when he traded it for a pony. My cousin told him to hold onto it because it was valuable and grandpa answered who would want a that. They are getting ready to head to church. A rifle in hand. LOL
Great photos. The part of my family that didn’t come to Kentucky was still around Hedgesville, WVA (then Virginia of course) in Civil War times, and in the churchyard of that town you can find a couple of them who were killed fighting with the CSA. That’s more into the eastern part of the state, in the Shenandoah Valley.The movie was pretty accurate historically.

He's not as bad politically as most actors. Just seems that about every role he has...he seems the same. Kind of like a Gary Cooper. I guess they basically play themselves. Although in the Hatfield's... he seemed a bit different...more like acting. Loved Open Range too. Have seen it 5 or 6 times. But in Open Range he was basically the same character as he was in Dances With Wolves....to me anyway. But hey...he's been very successful and has made a ton of money so more power to him.
