Maybe its time to get back to the basics of Hazzard County, boot the Dukes out of Hazzard County

Good Morning, it is a fine morning indeed, got to plant my seed and now waiting to feed. 
Still battling mice here at the Rode House. Outside of harboring a kitty cat, don't know of a way to give em the boot.
Speaking of booting. In words of our beloved Waylon, Don't ya'll think this Dukes thing has gotten way outta hand? Consider, what the entire TV series called the Dukes, might have been like if they'd have titled the TV show after the movie The MoonRunners, left the cast of the movie intact, called the car Traveler, and left the lead character as Bobby Lee. Placed the County as Shiloh as it was originally, and left it with a bit more grit to it?  The rest of the original film did have Ben Jones in it, as a revenue agent, there was a Roscoe P, and the bar truck stop was the Boars Nest. 
Now before ya'll go thinking that I'm starting a stinking here, against things the Dukes don't, nor am I dissing Ben and Alma and a very few others that were part of that, again Don't even think that. However as the year rounds out headed into a new year, I'm remembering all the things of what was 2017. And some of the hurtful things that came out of some of the Cooter's Place and from some gal in Oregon. The major things of the Cooter's Place was that when the majority of the cast of the Dukes, were at this years Utah AutoRama, in Salt Lake City, and me being only 100 miles away in Evanston Wyoming then, could it have hurt if Ben, Alma, Daisy, Bo, Luke or any of them to have driven up to see and visit the Wyoming/Utah Charter of the Hazzard Knytes? Could it hurt if Tracey, or Ben to contribute even a $100.00 to the cash box of the Knytes each month as a sign of their loyalty to the one organization of 300k, that has stuck with and fought for the Dukes since it was created? 
To that end, both the Knytes-of-Dixie and the AyreWolvez, aka the WolfPack have voted and approved the idea, of taking all the things that was good about the TV series, the movie and all the rest and mix it together and make a film by the same name as the Club. The Hazzard County Knytes, sort of the Hollywood Knights only Hazzard-ized. In essence, more Hazzard County, but no or very little Dukes. How about Daisy in the original costume they picked, which was a white turtle neck sweater , plaid table cloth patterned skirt, with white Go-Go boots? Yes that's why when we showed our Gen Lee in Utah in 1981 why we got Go-go boots for our display of the car. Why the super short shorts? Many mountain west parents made their kids not watch the show, because of that, likewise it was why in 2012 when we wanted to run ads we got censored by our local cable company. 
Now there are some that will growl at this, but dig this; what if, and I just say IF, the Knytes, all 300,000 of us, pulled our support of all things Dukes and reworked the idea and image of Hazzard County, into what it should have been, and flat boycotted things Dukes and pushed for more Hazzard County? 
As such, I retitled the Page on fb of Unofficial Dukes of Hazzard Fan page to the Official All Things Hazzard County Page(more Hazzard County, Less Dukes) . 
In closing again using another title of good old Waylon only Hazzard-ized, Maybe it's time we got back to the Basics of Hazzard County, and gave the boot. 
Stay tuned, 2018 is filled with a lot of changes in our organization, and infrastructure. A new President, Vee-Pee and more. We're tuning up Traveler, and putting some of Uncle Jessie's finest in the tank, and dropping the hammer. With a full on campaign to rework Hazzard County into something real.
TTYLY
