Gotta say it because everybody over 50 knows it, The French Connection car chase scene is the best of the best.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
I wrote to my friend and stated, that movie did not have it all. I didn't have trains, or trucks, or Momma, or gettin drunk... (I had to do it in memory of David Allen's song...)
I remember back in the 70s going to reds games and they only sold 3.2 beer. sat through many double headers gagging that stuff down. i don’t remember the year they started selling 6% but i was damn glad when they did.
My mistake. Can't forget about The Duke.A little prejudiced but; JW, CE, CB, and Cagney in the mix too.
Momma got runned over by a damned ol' train.
To Live and Die in LA has a great car chase. Mr. Majestic has a good one too. Supposedly they used the same truck for the whole movie. Built Ford tough that one was.
Have you seen this?

How could I forget. The guy just wanted to get his melons picked.

So......I dug up the Elephant Ear plants that we have in front of the house.......and cut down my banana trees........I cover the trunks of them up with leaves till next March.........curious thing is......the banana tree had just started blooming the first of September.......the Elephant ears were the last of Sept......they both normally start blooming about the middle of July..........as most on here know......I raise and fly homing pigeons.........normally they are finished molting by the end of October.........my loft looks like there was one hell of a pillow fight........and it will be another three weeks or so before they finish up......over my 60+ yrs of raising pigeons I don't remember my birds being this late into the season with their molt.....I traditionally start pairing my birds up Thanksgiving weekend for the coming year..........I won't be able to start that early this year...........just seems curious to me.......why things...........nature wise seems delayed.......unless it is because of the Wuflu........
Our fig had just started fruiting in September also. Now the frost may have killed it. Weird that it tool so long and actually put out fruit. It's probably because of all of the crap they've been spraying to alter "the climate" at will
Good morning, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

Well...? I got nothing. Goodnight Ymmot.
Good Friday Morning
Woke up this morning to a hard rain that is blowing off of the Gulf and it will bring a little cold front that may drop us into the low 40's by Sunday. We have 61 now and the high today will be 66°. There are gale winds and it is going to rain all day long. No complaints from me.
I enjoyed a nice concert last night. I tell you that 19 year old girl from Kentucky brought down the house. What a future she has. Her voice is in another stratosphere, just unbelievable.
Take care all, and make sure your sons and daughters you the correct pronouns

Good morning D-League. It's currently 29° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 54°.
Everyone stay safe on this Friday.

Good morning D-League. Happy Friday.
Nice shot of Chichen-Itza 41102. For my money, the only reason to go to the Yucatan Peninsula, though no offense to anyone who likes Cancun.
Cats with a tune up tonight. 1. No injuries please. 2. I'd love to hear a report that Toppin was jumping around like a Pogo stick. He's potentially an important defensive piece against Duke.
Hope everyone has a good day.

David Allan Coe Concert Promoter Arrested, Charged With Theft
Hours before the show was about to start, it was announced that two country acts would not be performing at their scheduled show on Saturday (Sept 14) at the Daviess County Lions Club Fairgrounds. David Allan Coe was set to bring his The Last Outlaw Tour to the Philpot, Kentucky location, but...

Another crispy frosty morning in Smiths Grove. It was 30°F when I got up at 6 am and now it is a sunny 39.7° on our way to 57°F.
I got my yard weed whacked and mowed yesterday afternoon for the first time in three weeks as I had had it power seeded. So it was really in need of it. Looks good now.
I look forward to the game tonight.
You all have a good day.

Bo Higdon virtually kicked him out of LaBo's down in Lebanon Junction back in it seems 1987 or 88 or so... Bo told me that straight.
Swinging bridge, Pike County, KY 1940's. My grandfather had one across Rockhouse creek and once you crossed it you had a very steep climb to the house. When I see this, I think of basketball season
Man, that photo says Kentucky so vividly. It could be a lot of places in the state. It reminds me of the hollow in the most rural part of Bracken County where my father was from, and where we visited his parents from the time I was old enough to remember anything. Can't wait to get home later this month.Swinging bridge, Pike County, KY 1940's. My grandfather had one across Rockhouse creek and once you crossed it you had a very steep climb to the house.

You have been gone too long...........hollow is what happens to an old log.......that picture is a holler......
Haha. True enough Awf. If any of my kin heard me say "Hollow" they'd laugh me out of the room. I'm going back in a couple weeks. I better sharpen up my accent. It never takes me long once I'm around people who speak the "right" way.
Thanks fellers! I knocked out another 2.5 hours after that post and then headed to the golf course. @Bert Higginbotha I shot a 75 today, 2 strokes better than the score on Wednesday. Sorry buddy!
Morning Legionnaires!
Well...? I got nothing. Goodnight Ymmot.
A post so nice you made it twice!
Van Morrison would disagree with you, but not me...
Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game…
What a beautiful day it was today. Nothing like it but more of it! Just so happens we are in store for more of it next week. Thank you man made global warming! Thanks a bunch.
Check out where the outhouse is in that pic. imagine having to use it (or just the walk out to it) on a cold snowy day, or night. i had to cross a swinging bridge like that to get to the first school i attended.Swinging bridge, Pike County, KY 1940's.

If you take a look at that bridge, it is indeed, uphill both ways!
I have told you often: I don't like folks who shoot in the 70's.
Is anyone watching this awesome game? Number 23 is going off from 3. We look fairly stupid at the moment but they'll tire soon and we'll assert ourselves. Wife and I are laughing our asses off. I want them to have to work hard for this. It don't get any easier from here and the bad taste from a busted lip will pay dividends later.
Sorry about that.....I just seen that I I double posted........
Poor shot selection. Poor 3-point defense. I'm not seeing anything positive at this point.
And you always go "up" into a holler.
