1949 The Lone Ranger premiers on ABC-TV
(A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty "Hi Yo Silver!" The Lone Ranger. "Hi Yo Silver, away!" With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains, led the fight for law and order in the early west. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Lone Ranger rides again!)


I'm stealing Phil's post from last night for this one. LOL!


Kimosabe, this "Kerry" ride up this valley--
before he ride down it.

The Lone Ranger Creed!
By: Fran Striker

"I believe that to have a friend,
a man must be one.

That all men are created equal
and that everyone has within himself
the power to make this a better world.

That God put the firewood there
but that every man
must gather and light it himself.

In being prepared
physically, mentally, and morally
to fight when necessary
for that which is right.

That a man should make the most
of what equipment he has.

That 'This government,
of the people, by the people
and for the people'
shall live always.

That men should live by
the rule of what is best
for the greatest number.

That sooner or later...
somewhere...somehow...
we must settle with the world
and make payment for what we have taken.

That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever. In my Creator, my country, my fellow man."



And now a little piece of completly useless information.
"Kemo Sabe" means "soggy shrub" in Navajo.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to
drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and
said "Who owns the big white horse outside?"

The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and asked,
"I do...Why?"

The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you'd
like to know that your horse is about dead outside!"

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was
ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse some
water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.

The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you
to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to
make him start to feel better."

Tonto replied, "Sure, Kemosabe" and took off running circles around
Silver.

Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned
to the bar to finish his drink.

A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks,
"Who owns that big white horse outside?"

The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong
with him this time?"

The cowboy looks him in the eye and says, "Nothing, but
..........you left your Injun runnin'."

YEP. and to think that the "powers that be" in the USAF didn't want it AND still don't like the hog!

MOST of the hogs are flown by ARNG & USAFR pilots!
