A little OT, but a little funny.

I'm a child of the 50's, so growing up during the 1960's my Dad watched a lot of Westerns, movies of course, and TV series' as well. I cut my teeth on John Wayne, GunSmoke, Bonanza, Maverick and The Virginian. The latter was long at an hour-and-a-half so my attention span often caused me to lose interest or not to watch the show.

Fast Forward to today with "live streaming" and neat little gadgets like the "FireStick" from Amazon. I'm currently watching The Virginian with James Drury, Doug McClure and Clu Gulager towards the end of Season Five. I watch maybe one episode a day and today was "The Guantlet" which started out with "The Virginian" riding across Texas and coming to a sign on a hilltop that's letting him know he was on "The Keets Ranch" where he might be shot for trespassing.

It really cracked me up. To top things off, my first name is Al, the same as the ranch owner.
