    Used to watch car show from BBC Top Gear. The three guys that were on the show had contract dispute and quit about 4 years ago. Jeremy Clarkson was main guy on show. He had gotten into a physical altercation with one of the producers. At any rate, Amazon added a new show for the three of them. And its pretty good, but Jeremy had bought a large farm in the UK and decided to start farming it himself when the farm manager retired. If you ever had an interest in farming, it's a fun watch that actually gives the viewer an inside eye in the true difficulty in farming. Jeremy is a dunce, but his accountant, who has extremely good knowledge of farming pops in about every other episode with good and usually bad news.... Way better watch than the car show.

    I found "Shout at the Devil" last night. I thought I had seen it before, but nope! Excellent Lee Marvin movie.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Amazon Prime has TONS of documentaries available. There's lots of military history documentaries and also many of the Ian McCallum "Forgotten Weapons" episodes.

    Don't say it out loud, Jeff Bezos' head might explode if he realized his Prime network had content available that contained firearms...

    Hedy Lamar was a genius...in addition to being one of the most beautiful women ever to grace Hollywood. The resemblance of her and Vivian Leigh is remarkable.

    Everything I ever read about Hedy has her born in Vienna, Austria unless it was all wrong....which is possible. Austria, Hungary and much of the Balkans was part of the Austro/Hungarian empire ruled by the Hapsburgs....but I never, ever heard Vienna referred to as being Hungarian.

    Ecstasy was the film in Germany where she was filmed nude, supposedly with a long distance lens.....

    I view the The History Guy podcasts (if that’s what they’re called) every week. Really interesting topics.
    Amazon occasionally but hard to reconcile with their business model.

    Used to love the Top Gear guys, then watched their Grand Tour show on Amazon, and they seemed to get more anti-American in their comments. Watched Clarkson's Farm and it was hilarious. Then, the latest episode of The Grand Tour came out last week in which they took 3 beautiful 70's American classic land yachts, and proceeded to lampoon America and and abuse and destroy the cars. Made me sick to my stomach. They can toss off as far as I'm concerned, now.

    Speaking of triangulation. I met the chief engineer who was in charge of tracking down and capturing Tokyo Rose. He was old then and I can't remember his name as it was 30 years ago. My crew was working on the house next door to his in Sandy Springs Georgia and he ask me if we could clean his gutters. He took me into his radio room and showed me his inventions, medals and government recognition of that achievement. I personally cleaned his gutters every year for free until he passed away. I was very lucky to have met him.
    HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!

    Haven't even thought about "shout at the devil" in years. Lately with so much junk and re-runs on the boob tube, have dug into our stash of old tapes and dvds to find something to watch. My wife is an avid fan of Prime TV lately. Sadly her choice in movies is about par for the course, usually dismal. Mine isn't much better. Frank

    Last year the wife and I dove into "Burn Notice" which we had not watched the first time around.

    Now, compared to the crap our stations are making make Burn Notice look like solid gold. No uneccesary sex. Some violence, mostly fast moving good stories.
    We watched one every night worked our way through the entire series. And were sad to see it end.

    Right now the line up is "In Plain Sight" a couple of witness program inspectors dealing with problems.

    911 and 911 lone star, both good entertainment. The Rookie, Station 19, just finished the last of Almost Paradise.

    Overall British TV is WAY better than American made IMO.

    2 years ago we dropped cable from over 110$ a month to 40, basic 35$ cable plus a DVR.

    Half the savings goes into channels for Amazon Fire TV. Netflix (currently on hold for 6 months) Hulu We watch it for 4-6 months then put it on vacation while they get new stuff. HBO, we'll run it for a while then dump it. Same for Stars. 2 years ago Disney had a deal where you could join for a year for 60$. At the end of the year the price went up, we'd seen all we wanted to see so dropped it. And we are still money way ahead of where we were with cable, with a much wider variety.

    The best thing I did was switch from the little Fire Stick to a bigger box that has a Lan port. Ran a cable up to it from the network. No more streaming BS.
    Shows load almost instantly.

    The only downside of Amazon Fire TV is you do need a good internet connection to make it work.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!
