Good morning, folks. Our guest have gone back to Texas. We had a great time this weekend. Everything's back to normal.

1975 Rod Serling writer/host (Twilight Zone, Night Gallery), dies at 60

Rodman Edward Serling was born in Syracuse, N.Y., on December 25, 1924, and grew up in Binghamton, the son of a wholesale meat dealer. A veteran of World War II, Serling was discharged in 1946 after seeing combat in the Philippines and being wounded by shrapnel, which earned the future writer a Purple Heart. Serling received a number of decorations during the war but would take something darker with him when he was discharged – war-related flashbacks and insomnia plagued Serling for the rest of his life. Many of Serling's wartime experiences helped to form his outspoken views, which would wind up finding their way in to some of his works over the years.

So many episodes, so little time to enjoy them all.

The new surface on these flight decks is pretty neat. I guess you still need to swab the deck though. Thanks PE.

I didn't know about the James and Younger connection! I've seen Gen. Shelby's banner in the OK Historical Society collection, though. I wonder whether Shelby County, MO, home of many great Americans, including my father, was named after the General? It seems like it would have to have been organized pre-War, though.

[SAMWolf]

Several Members of the James-Younger gang, most notably Frank James and Cole Younger rode with Shelby during the war.

Morning Cholera Joe. I knew that James and Younger were "raiders" during the War but didin't knmow they rode with General Shelby. Thanks.

[SAMWolf]

Morning Samwise.

Nothing works on kid grime.

[Tax-chick]

"Larger" is a nice, neutral term, too.

[SAMWolf]

Flemish painter of fat ladies.

LOL!

Nothing works on kid grime.

Nail polish remover (acetone) ... but it also eats holes in the walls and dissolves vinyl floors.

[SAMWolf]

Sounds like a good read. Thanks for the recommedation. The aftermath of the War between the States could have turned out a lot different. A lot of civil wars drag on in guerilla warfare for a long time after formal hostilities have ceased.

[SAMWolf]

I hate when that happens!
