A little trivia. Old time actor from 40s, 50s, and 60s who played many characters with a stuttering manner, Shug Fisher, was a member of the Sons of the Pioneers. As was Festus....Ken Curtis
I just had a long conversation with a first cousin who lives in Lebanon, TN. He is 80 years old and remembers the days after WWII, thinking about the Germany Nazi's and how they were able to kill millions of people. And do it so easy. Just line them up, put them on a train and to the gas chambers. Like most of us he said this can never happen in America. Americans will not allow their government to pass laws to limit their freedoms. And now we have someone telling you to stay at home and not have more than X amount of people in your house for Thanksgiving. What ???? And people fall right in line
The founding fathers understood the evils of tyrannical corruption very well and also understood that given a choice the people would likely choose Barabbas. Accordingly, the constitution simply gives the power back to the people. Better than civil war or worse chopping off heads. Are we smarter than the mob? Probably not. We don't need to be. Not so ignorant will work fine. Follow the rule of law and the truth will set us free. In GOD We Trust!
Yes he was. And so are a lot and I mean a lot of my childhood buddies. Going to their funerals brings home reality. Looking at my immediate family to include cousins, etc. I am the second oldest on both sides of the family. Each with a cousin older than me. I have one aunt by marriage who is in her late 90's. I expect she will live to be a 100 and she still lives alone.
Working my way up. I guess if I added up the total medical bills for my 8 major surgeries in lfie I would be pretty dadgum close.
I forgot that I have CRS. Sorry. Okay ........ 3 then.
I know another one from the Republic-produced Westerns, Roy Barcroft, the guy that every kid knew was the bad guy.
Love all of the engines that you put up.
I have an Uncle and Aunt that are 95 & 92. God, bless them.
Killing all of those people like they did was so evil.
Don, is Tyson still in downtown Cumming. I use to drop by and pick up chicken for little to nothing.
That young man still moving stuff?
Rooster, you have a terrific memory. He is, all over central and western Kentucky, and he took a second job as a warehouse hand. We can't get him to stop working to come home for Thanksgiving, but he'll be here over the weekend. He gets more satisfaction out of accomplishing physical work that the more abstract classroom studies. I get that - I worked pipeline jobs in the summers when I was his age and preferred that to college classes.
Thanks Ben. I missed the good vibes of this place.
Thanks Chief. I’m very capable of that.
"Did we give up when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor!"
"Murphy, It's You"
I was over by the Courthouse and next to the fairgrounds. With Cumming now becoming a metropolitan city they probably moved up to Dawson County. I think Junior Samples once worked in that place.
Same for today, preparation day. Honey-do list is long for me but, keeps my mind off of other things.
Thanks for the welcome, Sawnee. I've missed the wit, wisdom and even some of the nonsense that can be found here. I hope to contribute, mostly to that last category.
I thought that you were one of the regulars?
