In this time of social upheaval, and general lawlessness, a special thank you to the men, and women in blue who keep us safe from the criminal element.

If you’re a beat cops like Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, a police captain like Barney Miller, highway patrolmen like John & Ponch, we thank you.

I loved watching HeeHaw, dukes of hazzard, knight rider, airwolf, A-Team, all in the family.

Nowadays half of those shows would be banned......

Labor Day was a compromise with the commies that wanted to make May Day a Nat holiday. We celebrate dove season on this long weekend.
