And only you will be able to know the bullet's true signifacence. Try selling it on eBay and just watch all the authorities come down on you. (Not that you would part with it, or course.) Yeah, I would never sell it. Probably one of my most prized possessions. Shops around town sell them by the thousands, but it's extra special when you find it yourself.

From time to time items come to the surface, and very few people are going to turn something like that in to authorities. My late best friend knew a guy in Houston who had a knife he'd found on the battleground, as well as some buttons and other small items. It would be a tough temptation to keep something you found... Just like when I found a bullet at Gettysburg. I'll illegal to take anything from there but too good to pass up.

November 22 in Texas History..... President Kennedy assassinated in Dallas On this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. After breakfast in Fort Worth he flew to Dallas and, with his wife and Governor and Mrs. John Connally, began a motorcade trip in an open car toward downtown Dallas. As the car passed through Dealy Plaza several shots rang out. Both Kennedy and Connally were hit. Kennedy died at 1:00 PM in Parkland Hospital. Vice President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as president of the United States at 2:38 PM. .....Another chapter in Texas History Ah I forgot all about that! I always watch JFK every year on the anniversary.

This summer while looking for a new director to get into, I stumbled on Pier Paolo Pasolini, the infamous Italian director who has become so well known for both good and bad reasons.
The first film I saw by him was the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, which I now own on DVD along with Decameron and Oedipus Rex. I remember Nef mentioning it on the old board and figured to take a look. I thought it was very down to earth and it's simplicity worked to it's advantage. Then I saw The Hawks and the Sparrows which wasn't as good but worth watching nonetheless. I have since tried to get my hands on every film availible of his because DVD copies are very hard to come by. I have been able to see The Decameron, Canterbury Tales, and Arabian Nights as well as the infamous Salo: Or the 120 Days of Sodom, which I feel is his masterpiece.
I have still been unable to find Medea and Ro.Go.Pa.P but will continue my quest!

Anyone else a fan of this group? They are a terrific blend of light rock and classical music, which is why I hesitate to call them a "band". They have become famous for their many Christmas albums. I'm finally getting to see them in concert this December and I can't wait. ;D

Greetings to all Alamo and History buffs,
On September 10, 2004, the Alamo Sports Forum was created to be dedicated to discussing the history of the Alamo, along with professional sports as the major off-topic section. But within the first couple of years, the sports section was not too active so we changed the name to Alamo Central; a name that stands to this very day. Then about four years into our history as forum, we completed an upgrade to a brand new server and switched to a completely different site. The new forum was great and the features worked very well. However, over the course of less than a year, the server went down and was never recovered. The thousands of posts gained on the new site were lost forever. Being that I never deleted this, the original board, I have decided to re-open it in hopes that it will become as active as it once was in years past. This September we celebrated our fifth anniversary and we hope for many more, but we will need your help! I ask that you share you opinion in the many boards we have and encourage others to do the same. We cannot do this alone, and will need the help.
I reopened this site not to only recover some past glory, but to also further enrich the knowledge of the many Alamo and American history buffs out there. And don't forget, this site became famous for a simple tag line quipped by our most well known member, "Nefarious" Ned Huthmacher. It was about two years ago when he claimed that this was the "Alamo site with a twist". Ever since becoming known as that, we have taken pride for our vast off-topic section that includes our legendary Supernatural and Unexplained board as well as our Holiday traditions one. We hope that you will enjoy yourselves browsing the many interesting boards. Whether you want to partake in Alamo or just off-topic discussion, we ask that you keep discussions civil.
And above all, Remember the Alamo!
Regards, Greg Caggiano

Anyone else watch these two shows? Mysteryquest is the newer of the two and has been very interesting thus far. Monsterquest is in their third season but the episodes are starting to grow weak. They must be running out of material.
