Old songs are the best. This one topped the charts for two months in 1942.
No, that wasn’t the original version, although that was the biggest hit version. You were probably expecting a bunch of singing cowboys rather than some big band vocal choir, right? Well, here you go. From the movie in which it first appeared, “The Forest Ranger.”

Love the ride until they start shooting back!
Well, I went on my last Walt Disney World* trip recently. It was fun, but was kinda tiring, too.
Normally, I like to go to Magic Kingdom, and I like to ride Haunted Mansion. That is my favorite all-time ride at Disney World. It holds up after all these years. Sure, they’ve made some updates to it, but the best parts are the parts that were there in the ’70s. It’s a classic.
But, as I said, that was my last trip to Walt Disney World.
Tickets are expensive. Food is expensive. Rooms are expensive. Everything is expensive. But it’s fun.
I spent a lot more time at EPCOT than I had in previous trips. The Food and Wine Festival is underway, and that’s fun. Well, it’s filling at least. They got lots of food. Lots and lots of food. Expensive expensive food. But good food.
I used to go to Hollywood Studios more, but only made one short visit this time. The lines are long and they’ve changed how the Fast Pass works in that park. Now, it’s a lot more waiting.
Didn’t make it to Animal Kingdom this trip. It never even crossed my mind. Mostly because I was always at EPCOT eating, it seemed.
So, now I’ve completed my last trip to Walt Disney World. Yes, it was fun. But it was my last trip.
My next one is the weekend of November 9 & 10. And I’ll figure out the next after that one. But I sure enjoyed my last trip. I can’t wait for the next one.

One of my favorite scenes involving the Three Stooges is where Curly takes the stand in Disorder In The Court.
Jerome Lester Horwitz was born on October 22, 1903. In 1946, he was forced to retire after a stroke, and he died in 1952 at age 48. He made many laugh during his lifetime, and many more laugh in the years since.
