  14. that's what my parents named their '48 packard --- heheheheheheee NELLYBELLE One of the most memorable characters on the Roy Rogers TV show that ran from 1951 through 1957 was neither Roy, Dale, Trigger, Buttermilk or even Bullet - or for that matter even made of flesh and blood. It was a TV icon manufactured from good old American steel and named Nellybelle, a 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep with some very innovative bodywork. It was in fact owned by Roy, but was driven in the show by his comic sidekick, Pat Brady (1914-1972). Brady met Rogers while appearing as a bass guitarist in California in 1935, striking up a friendship with the young country & western singer who was a member of the popular group, The Sons of the Pioneers. When Len Slye was elevated to screen stardom as Roy Rogers, he recommended Brady as his replacement. However, as Bob Nolan, an original member of The Sons, was referred to as Bob, "Bob Brady" became "Pat Brady" joining the legendary singing group and appearing in a dozen films between 1938-51, includingWest of Cheyenne (1938), Man from Sundown (1939), The Durango Kid (1940), Song of Texas (1943), Bells of Coronado (1950), andSouth of Caliente (1951).On TV, Pat Brady drove around Mineral City, the setting of the series, sweet talking to Nellybelle as if his verbal compliments could convince the recalcitrant jeep to get up and go. The name, which was painted on her doors in most episodes, apparently developed out of Pat riding an ornery mule in the earlier movies, and addressing it with phrases like "Whoa, Nelly!"Roy Rogers chose to include a Jeep into the program because he noticed that after WWII, Jeeps were very popular, especially with children. Rogers himself owned a Jeep which he used for hunting, off road cruising and travel to and from his studio.
  15. reported at approx 1532 hrs local time today via The Mercury News --- "The string of destructive fires in Northern California have burned a total of more than 182,000 acres of land as of Thursday afternoon, according to Cal Fire’s website.The fires have killed at least 29 people, forced the evacuation of thousands of other residents and destroyed more than 3,500 structures across eight counties, but mostly in the North Bay’s famed Wine Country. To put the size of the fire in perspective, the 182,000 acres is about 281 square miles. That’s nearly six times larger than San Francisco (about 47 square miles) and larger than San Jose (about 180 square miles) and Oakland (about 78 square miles) combined. The fires are burning in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Yuba, Lake, Calaveras, Butte, and Nevada counties. According to the website, The Measure of Things, 281 square miles, the size of all of the fires, is: 4 times larger than Washington D.C. 7 times larger than Disney World 50 times larger than Los Angeles International Airport 200 times larger than Central Park in New York City 1,000 times larger than Disneyland this doesn't include the fire in Orange County -- as of last evening More than 1,600 firefighters battling the once-fast-moving and devastating 9,217-acre Canyon Fire 2 were steadily gaining control of the blaze on Wednesday – aided by cooler temperatures and less wind. As the fire stretches into day four, officials announced Wednesday evening that containment was at 60 percent and full containment was expected sometime Saturday, Oct. 14. “There is no immediate threat to any neighborhood right now,” said Mike Lyster, a spokesman for the city of Anaheim. “But we always (want) residents to keep up on the latest information.” The blaze – which has terrorized the eastern edges of Anaheim, Orange and the North Tustin area – has destroyed at least 23 structures and damaged 36, with three people getting injured.
