Wild Rides On A Bus to Tin Cup

 October 24, 2025

   The other day, someone asked an old man what he thought about the current state of affairs in our country and he replied, "It's always a wild ride, isn't it?" That old geezer should know. He's been on the planet for almost 79 years. And that's why it's time to celebrate. . .

Wild Rides, Indeed!

   Meanwhile, another wild ride happened right here.

   And here is the same scene ten seconds later. . .

Fred Weldon comes by to say hi! 

That is Ken Amorosano in the background and I think we had just finished taping a True West Moment for the Westerns Channel.

   And, speaking of True West Moments it was the Encore producer Jeff Hildebrandt who discovered me on a bus ride to Tin Cup, Colorado in 2002 and signed me up to do those little one minute history blurbs that we produced and ran for almost ten years. I just got word that has Jeff passed and I must say he gave me such a great platform and I still get people coming up to me all these years later and tell me how much they enjoyed them. Thanks, Jeff.
