    I was reading the newspaper when I got home from work. I always turn the news on tv and kind of listen to it at the same time as I am reading. For some reason I turned on CNN and was listening to their version of world events and had enuff of it and turned to a channel that was showing the old TV series Bonanza. It was an episode that looked good so I put the newspaper down and began watching. As God as my witness I swear to the truth of this. This particular scene had Ben, Hoss, Little Joe and a guest star. Hoss was going off to another town. Ben stated, and I quote..."You better make it quick, Roundup is in two weeks". :eek: I went nuts!!! Ben Cartwright comes to me from a tv show 35 years old and tells me that the Roundup is in two weeks and he is right as rain. I dont know bout the rest of you, but I am listening and doin what Ben says!
