Yes, I 've seen a few episodes of the new 15 to 1 - somehow it just didn't seem the same? I didn't continue to watch it .

I liked Windows XP - now that I could understand!
but my new desk top came with Windows 8 (now upgraded to Windows 8.1) I don't like this so much.
And shortly it's going to be upgraded to Windows 10.

Didn't know that about Judith and Daphne, JG. I've never quite got into 15 to 1, Eggheads comes on just as I'm about to eat.
My all-time favourite program is Who Do You Think You Are, unless they are delving into someone's war record. I am currently making huge progress on one part of my own family tree, having been stuck on that branch for about 23 years! No wonder, they were early Baptists.

Ros,my fellow genealogist...
I have "done" every branch of the family, as far back as as I can, some to 16th century, but there is one man who "vanished without trace" Last recorded in 1919 on a border crossing USA to Canada.

Good evening Elle!
Good old Caesar. I would never have thought of following a raven to get fresh water! Cattle can smell it a long way off. I learned that watching Rawhide.
I don't need Windows anymore, so the Edge will remain a musician to me.
No, I am the hick. Was there not a song about something like that? "The man from God knows where"?
I can't visualise 15 to 1. I know Countdown.
The golf is going fine.
There were wild winds last night blowing down scoreboards etc. I think I heard, years ago, that Lake Michigan is so vast, it has it's own weather system?
Has your darling daughter filled you in on WhatsApp yet?

Good evening, Rusty!
I used to watch Rawhide too! Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates! is that correct? I'm thinking also of Ward Bond in Wagon Train.......thinking back, I'm apt to get the two confused......
Then there was Bonanza.....
Ill - spent youth!
There WAS a song....... but all I can remember is one line.........
"I am the rake and the ramblin' saint, the man from god knows where"
Is that the one? I cannot recall the context?
I haven't heard about Lake Michigan being so vast that it has it's own weather system? but there was a very large cave system discovered in China that was so huge that it had it's own weather trapped inside - clouds and fog, I think?
I thought we'd given up on "Whats App"? I decided after all the bother you had, that I would bypass the offer! If folk want to send me their pics and their videos, they can send them to my desk top!
Was my daughter supposed to be finding something out? I'm now getting a faint niggle that maybe she was.....?
Every time you say "darling daughter(!) I keep thinking of that song......."Yes, my darling daughter"

I wonder what happened in Canada, Jazzy. "Exit, pursued by a bear"?

...his life came to a "grizzly" end ?

Yes, Elle, and Gil Favor was the trail boss!
Based on true happenings on the Goodnight-Loving trail. Good programme! Who was the cook?
I think the song is Irish. Maybe it is Lake Superior I am thinking of?
I think WhatsApp should be forgotten, yes.
I have been trying to get rid of photos from a Picasa album. Took ages, in settings and syncs etc.
All done now.
Wishbone?

Yes, Rusty! You've got it! G.W. Wishbone! Well done!
And now I'm going to go to bed early for once.... I'm absolutely exhausted!
I keep falling asleep over my book.
I think my exploits with the grandsons have finally caught up with me......or even overtaken me...!
G'night!

Yes, rest is good!
Wishbone was floating about in the back of my mind.
And nothing to to with the series, but Oliver Loving riding well ahead of the herd was attacked by Comanches and badly wounded. He escaped them, but sadly died when gangrene set in. Cattle driving was a very hazardous occupation. Charles Goodnight lived until 93. He was involved in the "rescue" of Cynthia Parker from the Comanche. She had been captured aged 11, and lived with the Comanche for 24 years.
She had married a Comanche and had children.
She tried to escape from her rescuers to return to her Comanche family, and eventually stopped eating and died.
It was pretty tough out West!
