Tac Town Tuff


Have an uncle who owned land in Joseph, OR when I was a kid.

And also probably every movie ever made when I lived in LA.

The best T-Town TUFF movie was Hand That Rocks the Cradle with Rebecca De Mornay's tittays feeding the North Enders' baby.

That woman had quite the collection of nude scenes in her career.

She stole the show in Risky Business

brb, yo.

When I was in Transylvania, I happened upon where Kevin Costner's "Hatfields and McCoys" was filmed. Hiked for several hours in the mountains above Sinaia, Romania, found it by accident. It was late fall and the trees were a visual feast, all sorts of yellow, oranges and reds. There was a ranch up there. I found a great hiking stick and hid it so I could find it if I ever returned. Doubt I would be able to find it now though.

Stayed in an eerie hotel near Peles Castle. There were couches in the hallways, and wild dogs slept on them. There were at least 7 or 8 wild dogs in the hallways, and they emerged from all sorts of hidey holes outside on the premises whenever you enter and exit. There was a portrait of a horse and carriage that looked like it was from the 1700's or 1800's in a snowstorm surrounded by wolves. It added to the atmosphere. There weren't many television stations, just a music video station and some news telecasts I couldn't understand. The music station played a lot of Madonna and Pat Benatar. The hotel restaurant had great food, including fresh trout. Peles Castle is better guarded than Neuschwanstein at night. The guards were armed with machine guns and told me to leave when I tried to poke around the place a bit.



Here's what it looks like in Winter:




In another Romanian village, Sighisoara, the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula), I hiked to the top of the village to a cemetery at night. The cemetery groundskeeper had a German Shepard on the premises and it sprinted toward me as soon as it saw me. I had been attacked by dogs before on travels, so I knew what do. I lunged at it and it ran away.

Helped smuggle clothes across the Romanian/Serbian border. Some people entered the carriage and started heaving large bags of clothes out the windows to folks who were waiting in fields to pick them up. I helped them do this.
