Need to really catch up on SNL...

Back in the 1990's one of my favorite pastimes was catching episodes
of Saturday Night Live. Every generation thinks their generation of
SNL was the best but I can say mine was or atleast up there with the 
best of the shows history. In my day Chris Farley, David Spade, Phil
Hartman, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock were kind of big on the show.
Some made names of themselves and went onto movies like the people
I just mentioned whom were worthy of it.  Chris Farley was always a
personal favorite because of how he delivered his lines, and his movements.
He didn't have to even do much to be funny sometimes a facial expression
was all it took not just because he was the fat guy who fell down alot. I 
miss that man. I also used to enjoy Phil Hartman because he could deliver
his lines and he could make one laugh with little effort.  

 Now I'm catching up on SNL on youtube and can say Kenan Thompson 
deserves to be ranked up there with some of the more famous people from
SNL.  Why isn't he more famous than he is?  This guy is  freaking hilarious.
I gave up on SNL after Farley and all them left and Will Ferrell started 
hitting the scene on the show.  I can't stand that guy and he just struck me
the wrong way. Some people I just can't stand and he is one of them. This
Thompson guy though he should be really famous and be in alot of movies.
I can't believe watching SNL has made me happy from this era.  This is a 
hard task to accomplish what with being always stressed out and  bipolar
disorder.  Bravo someone made me laugh. I really need to pick up making 
it a weekly thing to watch SNL again. 

 I wonder what other people's opinion on SNL  is or what they think the best
era was?  Bill Murray had some good stuff and so did Eddie Murphy. I  really
haven't watch much of the 1970's stuff but i need too.  THis show is a gold
mine of comedy for all ages. I will always cherish the Farley and Spade years 
since I grew up watching some of that. Good times!
Note: On Fb once again in jail again for posting a meme and someone found it
offensive. Ummm dear America get that stick out of your butt and laugh
instead of being offended by every little single thing.  This is why some 
people including me are happier than others.  We can laugh at the most
stupidest of crap and not get offended by it.  I remember a time when you
can say something and people wouldn't get so  uptight about it and perhaps
laugh at it instead of taking it the wrong way.  I miss America and those days.
Facebook has no sense of humor nor does some of it's users.  The funny part
about that is I have posted worse stuff than that which would have deserved
a posting ban in satire but no they find the stupidest of reasons. My point is
people have no sense of humor anymore with the PC culture and social justice
warriors.  Lighten up you might actually have fun if you actually took light
of stuff and laughed for once. Laughing is great for the soul.

Fulton County, Illinois Ghost towns Part 1

Image
Ghost towns are abandoned villages that since disappeared or are no longer the population they were in their hey day after an economic down fall, disaster or whatever.  For me I consider a ghost town a town that no longer exists but may or may not leave traces behind of it's existence.  Fulton County has a lot of old historical towns like Canton which was founded in 1825 and Lewistown which was founded  years before Canton.  These towns are example of towns that managed to make it despite economic disasters and natural ones. Former towns which have signs marking their location like Civer between Canton and Cuba and Tuscumbia around Bernadotte are examples of towns that didn't make it and ceased to exist and into oblivion of history.  The only thing that is exists is those two signs that mark the location.  It's sad in a way but it is what it is and people who lived in these areas did what they had to for survival of the time period so if they moved to other communities can

Middle Grove- Rapatee Coal mine

Image
This subject is about the coal mine at Middle Grove and Rapatee areas. I basically just know the years and also what Railroads served them but i did get to photograph the area of this so there is a general idea of this.   The Midland Electric Coal Company has several strip mines within Fulton and Knox Counties from the years 1933-1963 ( Fulton County, strip),1963-1967 (Knox County strip), and Peabody Coal Company which  opened in 1968 and closed around that time or 1969. The mine would open once again and be the Middle Grove-Rapatee mine in 1975 or 1976 under the Midland Coal Company I think.  It ran until 1988 but the last rail shipment was in or around 1986 by the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.   Another company nearby or in this vicinity would be the Midstate Coal Company  which was a strip mine and operated from 1989-1996.  Over the decades it used the area railroads before 1960 it was the M&STL would would ship their coal and after it was Chicago & Northwestern.  The

Buckheart mine of Dunfermline

Image
East of Dunfermline and southeast of Canton was a pretty good sized coal mine at one time that area old timer's either worked there or knew people  who did and this mine was known as the Buckheart  mine.  It is situated  in an area around Buckheart creek and in Buckheart township hence the name.  The United Electric Coal company ran mine #17 from 1937-1975.  In 1976 not  too far from the area Duck Creek Power plant was built. In 1975 the mine became the Freeman United Coal company.  Other than the dates and that it was pretty good size for a mine in this county I don't know alot about it.  But this area had mines in the vicinity for a good 100 years on and off.  The Saint David area was really a jackpot with many mines coming and going over the years and this area i'm talking about is no different there was mine here for a while even before United electric in 1937.  Now a days is  strip mine lakes, the power plant and i'm sure still traces o
