I knew what you meant.  I was just trying to reinforce your statement for those that might not have.

Seems like it would almost have to be at 76 and Indian Point Rd for the signs to make sense.

Congrats on the performance. I did not know you were that close to me either.

I do not have any glass mugs, but most if not all my plastic mugs are prior to 2013. I do not think any of them have a refill price printed on them and I honestly do not pay attention to what they charge me to refill. If it would put an end to the confusion, I personally would be fine with one set refill price for any mug: this year, last year or 1975 as long as it's still cheaper than a throw away cup. Just my .02

Do you know if they will honor our rate during the car show week/end?

The link to ep 1 and 2 is now requires permission. I have not found 4, 5 or 6 either. If anyone finds these anywhere, please share.

Against my better judgement, I'm going to step in here. Oldies may be technically "closer" to the 1880's because the songs were made in the 60's, 70's whatever but I have a hard time picturing how Led Zeppelin could power their amps, double bass, keyboards, etc considering there was no electricity. And yes, I know country music now is far from acoustic but I think a lot of it could have been played "back then". At the very least country has its roots in bluegrass and the westward expansion of America.

That's right. I knew he directed ST III and IV, but I had forgotten he did some other films outside of the franchise. And was pretty good I thought.

I just heard on the news that Lucille Ball actually produced the first Star Trek series.  It was nearly cancelled, so she pushed hard for a second season. Interesting tidbit!  Was Spock in the first season of Star Trek?

That is partially true. Her production company (Desilu) produced the first two seasons before it was sold to Paramount. It was cancelled at the end of the second season but it was revived by a massive letter writing campaign by fans.

As for the The Cage, that is correct. I think what you were meaning to say though was he was the only one in every episode (including the pilot) of TOS.

When they announced this a few years ago, my interpretation was they would only honor the current season. There's a thread on here somewhere about. However, they have not been enforcing this that I have seen yet. They have refilled anything I've handed them (as long as it was theirs) and honored the refill price.

I didn't think it was going to put the Red Roof project under, but I would still think there would be some overlap. Is there really that many kids that play ball? I mean really Camdenton and Branson are not that far apart and neither is Columbia and Camdenton when you start thinking about how far people travel for tournaments.

Looks like we are getting something similar closer to home. I wonder what impact if any this might have on the Branson project.

That was an interesting article. I had no idea the Mels Hard Luck Diner owner used to be and HFE CEO.
