Anyone that has not covered this country from East to West on a motorcycle (or even a car) cannot fathom what these souls went through to live in a free land. When Bill and I used to travel from Cali to TN to visit family I wondered at what our ancestors did.

I remember the days before cellphones as well.

I remember phone booths and using an MCI card to connect to clients...

On my one trip out west back in 2010 I remember stopping at one of the 'trail' museums that documented the trip westward in Conestoga wagons. The ruts created by those wagons still survive in some areas.

I remember those too LOL. We used to joke that some towns only existed because that is where the wagon wheel broke. I believe there is some truth to that though.

I also remember when the interstate system was not yet completed.

-There was a 20 mile stretch I think in TN where I-65 was not done where you rerouted onto 31W and drove past all the fireworks stores.
--65 as we know it now ended just north of Birmingham and was a 4-lane road with side streets and stores.
-When we went out west to CO on the bike in 2008, we followed the transcontinental railway, essentially Rt 30, towns still looked like the 30'-50's
-after watching 1883, I wonder when, in 300 years if they find all the graves of all who died on all the wagon trails, what they will think was the cause.

You know what I miss watching on TV. Negative political ads. I wish I was in PA now. Great stuff.

"negative political ads" is an oxymoron.

There's a new 'Beyond Paradise' with the original inspector on now on Amazon Prime. It stars the original actor on the Paradise series. He also starred in My Family which is now showing on Britbox.

I'll look into that, strange, as he died in the original series.

VirginiaJim · « **Reply #71 on:** March 15, 2023, 05:01:13 AM »

I didn't remember him dying but he does refer to the Caribbean stint a few times... I was referring to Kris Marshal. I thought he had been in it for the first several seasons but as memory goes..I was wrong. He was in series 3-6.

Yes, first guy died by the pool in season 2. I am headed to check out if I can get it at the library today.

JAG reruns

Strawboss · « **Reply #74 on:** March 18, 2023, 09:52:14 AM »

JAG. I saw Bud from JAG on a recent NCIS which is also a Bellisario production. Man, did he look bad. It was not just his character either.

Suits

Yellowstone season 5 interspersed with a few episodes of "My 3 Sons" because I need to see happy stuff more and I had forgotten just how good "My 3 Sons" was.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; free S1 on Prime.

Wish I could play, but I can't. I don't have a Tee-Vee. My only reference is the OJ chase, and that happened in 1994 (I had to Google it), I dumped my Tee-Vee a handful of years before that.

I do have a desktop computer though (duh), and it's in my bedroom. Just shy of 70 years old, there's still only two things I do in my bedroom. Watching TV is NOT one of them
