The Santa Ynez Valley is a delightful, beautiful place, producing very good wines. I've not yet sampled any of Fess' products, but I'd imagine they are worth a sip or several. The movie "Sideways" is set in the Santa Ynez Valley, btw. <br />RIP, Fess.<br /><br />SoCalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-88825735693689295922010-03-19T09:04:37.937-07:002010-03-19T09:04:37.937-07:00Sometimes King Kong is Godzilla's size, someti...Sometimes King Kong is Godzilla's size, sometimes he is so small that he can climb up the Empire State Building. <br /><br />It is what it is, Anon.<br /><br />Some things are just best left unsolved.EEPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04268218831540835983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-25113396179773204512010-03-19T07:23:18.259-07:002010-03-19T07:23:18.259-07:00Although my history professor, John Lynn, really l...Although my history professor, John Lynn, really liked the series, I do note that Fess let some things slip through. According to Wikipedia, <br /><br />"Inconsistencies included episodes such as `The Aaron Burr Story,' a second-season episode in which the former Vice President of the United State visits Boonesborough. The episode was based on Burr's raising an armed group, allegedly to commit treason, in 1806, while another episode in the second season hinged on allegations that the Boonesborough settlers were planning insurrection against the British Crown, prior to the American Revolution. Still other episodes took place during the Revolution. No explanation was made for the 30-year discrepancy."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-58757706558648041182010-03-19T05:29:51.155-07:002010-03-19T05:29:51.155-07:00I say his role in Ol' Yeller has been underrat...I say his role in Ol' Yeller has been underrated for years. Fess' educational background once again shows the cultural impact that liberal arts majors, in particular history students, have on the world. <br /><br />BEPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
