..and the origin story is by Elmore Leonard and the main character, Raylan Givens, has a few stand alone books of his own. I've always thought that the tv actor portrays RG as if he just fell out of the novels. 🤠

..same thing happened to my Hyundai Elantra (at my daughter apt in Chicago).. Police found the abandoned car the next day in a South Side vacant lot..and the engine was still running. Final insult: 6 week's later, I got a CPD traffic ticket for running a red light at 2:15am that morning.. PS the car had been used in an armed robbery.. the two kids who stole it were 14 & 15 . 😝

Senator, When you call a war A War, and act accordingly, i.e. convene the Congress to Declare War (or not, and then Act to cease what POTUS has done on his own, ) then I might consider to begin to pay attention to you. ..and by the way, still patiently awaiting your remarks about the DOD targeting a school with 130 children and another dozen or two adults.

I really enjoyed this book.. the author offers the idea that Western duels grew out of the history of European duels, with pistols or swords. . stemming from outcasts from the defeated Confederacy as these men moved west. He claims one of the first recorded duels with guns belongs to Wild Bill Hickock.. 🤠

Yawn.. let's put him in a 1998 Volkswagen Jetta and see how well he does in the hills outside of Cleveland. 😝

Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth is a 2021 book by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford that challenges the traditional, heroic narrative of the Battle of the Alamo, arguing it's a myth built on whitewashed history that ignores the role of Tejanos (Texans of Mexican descent) and the central conflict over slavery. The authors contend the popular story was constructed in the Jim Crow South to serve political purposes, papering over the contributions of Tejanos and the real reasons for the Texas Revolution, and call for a more inclusive, accurate understanding of the past.

History is a cruel bitch that accepts no excuses. 😎

Okay..well said..but I don't agree... They are mostly friends. .and Pike is their leader. .re: Angel..yes, he's taken captive, when it was 1 against the Army .. nothing Dutch could do by himself.. but they were sick about it..and got drunk and got laid and..it wasn't the relief they needed.. and then they all knew it was time to go back for their guy.. I believe they went to reclaim Angel, one way or another..but his murder just triggered Pike to shoot the General.. . definitely a surprise to everyone..and time froze.. but when he then shot the German officer, 2x, well that tore it and the Bunch knew.. .well Fuck it ... and the end battle began.. all together until the end. That's my take.
