Interesting, Bert. Curious, is one door for the men and one for the women, or something else?Oh my!
I grew up in a little Baptist church in Edmonson County. We sang that song often. We had all parts of the song. "Leaning" on Jesus "leaning" on Jesus "leaning on the everlasting arms . . . . ." even though it was not in the lyrics.
Here is a 1966 picture of my little church out in the country:
Yes Sir,
I won't dwell on it but take a side by side look at some comparisons. Even in 69 they didn't try authenticating with western looks no one making the movies actually saw. Appeasement, but human nature may look at it and be pleased they have it better now. Not sure but even the hat is not believable... (Not downing anyone for liking the newer version at all.)
I thought Bridges sounded like he had too much crap in his mouth.
But I'm a Duke fan anyway.
The original for the win.
My Dad grew up in Edmonson County and belonged to a Baptist church. I'll ask him what the name was. He attended Sunfish High School through 10th grade before moving to Louisville.Oh my!

The only part that was better on the new one was that the actress that played Matty did not whine as much as Kim Darby does in the original.
Kim Darby was not even liked by John Wayne and as she grew up she got worse. (She looked the part better but that was all.)
Even Glenn Campbell seemed too rote, you could tell he was acting.
Suspected Chinese spy balloon flying above U.S. shot down off Carolina coast
The suspected Chinese spy balloon spotted over U.S. airspace in recent days was shot down near the Carolina coastline on Saturday, officials said.

Wow they shot a big balloon. Give them a medal.
(Despise the communist news trying to give a glory shot to something like this...)
Crazy day in college basketball...
Tennessee beats Auburn 46-43. Teams were a combined 5-48 from 3...5 out of 48.
Kansas gets beat by 15.
Indiana beats number 1 Purdue. I could never say I was rooting for Indiana but I know a few big Purdue fans and they have been really obnoxious so I do find them losing in such an important game for the state funny.

Okay Cats. Time to lace 'em up tonight and kick butt. Can't afford another home loss. The SEC tournament is only 3 1/2 weeks away (can you believe it) and a bye would be really helpful.
This is the craziest year for college basketball in my lifetime. Anything is possible at this point.
My daughter arrived safely from Knoxville to ATX via Charlotte.
Today, I am the happiest, luckiest most blessed man in the planet.

We are thankful for you Austin. Family is the most important thing on earth. Enjoy her company and make some great memories.
I do hope all is going well for the D-League faithful and those who would be here if they could. I am thankful...
I'm ready for the game. Cats will win this one. Got the speakers and subwoofers turned up, much to the chagrin of my wife. Don't let me down guys.
3 to 1 odds the UNC/Duke game goes into OT.
Shooting this down should sure get someone at least a Silver Star.. Heck they only had to use an F-22... That is a bad mamma jamma balloon...
Granny'd a done it for supper...

Cats have this one. Let's get going ESPN Beat those Gators
Ok Storm, finally got it straighten out, they Hunter in Prestonberg in Floyd co.
No ownership from anything UK at this time...
Too close. Cats looked in total control.
Wallace and Toppin tonight. Never a chance to breathe with this team.
No the doors were just spaced apart. Plus there was another door at the back. The men and women sat together.
How true. Oscar simply had a bad offensive night. UK actually hit free throws well for a change. Plus Florida got hot on the threes in the second half.
Free throws I believe have been really solid starting in the second half against Kansas. I believe we were 4-11 from the line at the half against Kansas and made all 12 of our 2nd half free throws, could be wrong. We were were 19-23 on our free throws against Ole Miss. And 11-13 from the line tonight.
Have been subpar all year, but last 2 games and second half against Kansas we have actually done really well. I think we are going to be in a lot of close games, we need that trend to continue.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 41°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 71°F. Expecting a really nice afternoon.
I'm so happy my daughter flew out here. It's her first visit since 2000, or more than 22 years. My step-daughter picked her up from the airport. Anyway, we plan on taking a quick bus trip downtown this morning so we can check out a few sites. Perhaps grab an authentic Tex-Mex breakfast taco. This afternoon, we'll head over to Lunar New festival at Chinatown - Austin, located in parking lot the next street north of us. Shop and grab a bite. Quick, convenient and simple. My daughter leaves Wednesday.
Last night's game: Power outage hit us with 10 minutes left in second half. I followed score on laptop. Power baack on around 3 minutes remaining. Key take-ways: Oscar could not handle Castleton. CJ shot well. Cats hit FTs down the stretch. Cats out-rebounded Gators on the glass 35-27. Close game. I enjoyed the W.
Wishing y'all a peaceful, enjoyable Sunday.

Floyd Co. is about an hour from me. I know Goble's that have property with elk but that's about it.
I lost internet yesterday and had the choice of listening to the game or watching it on my little phone. I chose to listen and enjoyed a 5 or 10 min nap during the game. When I was younger that is the only time I would nod off....soothing and comforting sound I guess.
Not much was mentioned about defense last night. How'd it look? Anyone look particularly good or bad on the defensive side?
I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday.

good morning D-League.
Good win for the Cats last night. They'll all be good from here on out.
I have a daughter and an ex-wife who are Gators so there is always some friendly tension and more when the Cats play Florida.
I got an email invitation to my 50th high school reunion last night. Damn, that's eye-opening. We graduated 26 in our class and three or four are dead and a couple have disappeared but we'll probably get around 20 to attend. Most of the class could drive to where are hig school was in five minutes, if it still existed. I see a few of the old gang any time I visit my parents, but it'll be good to gather again.
Beautiful sunny, cold day here. Hope you all are doing well.

Morning D-Legionnaires!
31° this morning with the high in the mid 60's expected. Sunny with moderate winds as well.
Another win albeit closer than it should have been in the end. Kentucky looked in control for the most part until the last few minutes or so. Oscar still struggles against big men. Getting closer to tournament time and this team needs to shore up a bit on the offensive side. At times in last night's game we seemed to revert back to the earlier part of this year's running around without an offensive set-in mind. Perhaps it was just Florida's defense, if I am not mistaken it is supposed to be pretty good according to the announcers. Outside of that, UF only has one or two good players themselves.
Not much going on today, Wife and daughter will probably sleep most of morning since MIL and BIL were over and did not leave until past midnight or so I think. That's the norm when they are here. I just go to sleep around 21:30-22:00 when they are here so...
Well, you folks enjoy your Sunday (especially if you have to work tomorrow) @AustinTXCat, @BBUK , and @MdWIldcat55. Come on in (retirement), the water's fine.
God Bless and stay safe.
Edited: Need to shore up the Cats on the defensive side too really. Still time to work on it, but it needs to be done now.

Good Sunday morning D-League. It's currently 40° with a high of 55° expected this afternoon. Partly cloudy skies this morning will give away to overcast skies during the afternoon.
Have a great day.

That's funny when I think about it. Most of my early years with the military had Foosball tables, ping pong tables, and pool tables in the day rooms. There was always trash talk going on since most of us back then in the military were aggressive and competitive. Played many of games of each in my time. Even learned to juggle pool balls during nights on CQ (Charge of Quarters) when I got bored of playing pool by myself.
Good Sunday Morning
It is a nice morning with a mild 56° and a high expected of 77°. Partly cloudy skies with a chance of showers this evening.
Cats squeaked by last night against a mediocre team. The Big Gator gave Oscar fits because of his size but he did have a nice touch around the basket. It helped with the Gators horrendous shooting in the first half. A win is still a win. I watched the NC-Duke game before the Cats started and those two teams have really fallen off. Neither looked like a good tournament team.
I trust all are well. I will pause this morning and reflect on how fortunate my life is and how good God has been to me and my family. We are so blessed.

Good morning all,
Just rousing... I played possum this morning when My Darling and the BB were in the room cleaning up. He is downstairs now readying to eat his morning banana pancakes.
Eats those every morning. They need no butter or syrup. Pushing four years old and never tires of them. I do not remember him not eating those for breakfast.
I'll have a couple biscuits and coffee. We will go to the late service. Starts at 11:20...
Have a great day... Shoot for a peaceful day.,..

The following is a bunch of bitching from Bert. You do no have to read it, but I am blowing off some steam about last nights game. I just edited the game and in the process you can micro analyze what happened. 34 frames a second allows a lot of insight!
In the 1st half Florida was charged with 5 fouls, Kentucky 7 fouls. That is not all that bad until you analyze what those fouls contributed: Florida got 10 free throws to Kentucky's 3. Ouch.
In the second half at the under 4:00 minute time out Florida had 4 fouls and Kentucky 6. Oscar fouls out at the 1:38 minute mark and Florida had 4 fouls and Kentucky 7. With 1:02 minute left and UF needs to foul and put UK on the line in hopes of a miss. The refs know this and cooperate; Florida fouls on every play and the refs accommodate them with a quick whistle.
It only took 9 seconds for UF to foul 3 times to get Kentucky to the free throw line. Florida ends up with 9 2nd Half fouls, but 5 fouls were in the last 1:38 when they had to do it. The first 38 minutes and 22 seconds they only called 8 total fouls on UF. Of Kentucky's 13 free throws 5 were made in the last 51 seconds.
When was the last time Kentucky got a whistle on the road like that?
Plus I can't stand Jimmy Dykes. Why does he do so many of UK's games?
End of being nasty.

I think a mentioned that a very close friend of mine died recently, a war correspondent with whom I'd traveled through Iraq, Bosnia, Somalia, Kosovo and elsewhere.
His obit posted today, and I'm one of those who got a chance to remember him. You should be able to read this, if interested.
