T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Such language! Okay, here's one that will likely offend the millennials for dated verbiage in reprint. George Carlin famously derided the use of today's soft language. The subjective term being "learning disabled" as one of several replacements for retarded or imbecile, which have become highly-offensive slurs.

Gunfighting? A much younger me once asked my father if he ever drew his weapon and fired in the course of duty; had he ever participated in an actual gunfight? Was it like those we watched on the television or at the movies — Dirty Harry, etc.? His answer was usually stoic, reverent, and largely…… Continue reading Gunfighting Blues

Crime scenes a laughing matter? Hold that thought. Success! I am pleased to say that, after 15 months' thumb-twiddling in Covid Purgatory, I was finally able to access the Gainesville Times archive and retrieve the final 25 columns written by my father. Maybe that's begging the question a tad. The Times' archive had been relocated…… Continue reading Laughing Matter? Sheer Lunacy!

We'll get to Frank Hamer in a moment. Okay, here's the thing: Due to The Pandemic, I've not been able to raid Hall County's library for additional scans of my father's column. I've but a few left and, well, stretching them out until a planned visit later this summer. Microfiche scanning. Nothing says "old school"… Continue reading The Ballad of Frank Hamer
