Roger, I'm sure the feelings will come to you in waves. My friend who lost her mother recently suddenly got hit with the realization that she'd never see her mother again about a week ago. Another friend of mine lost her father around the same time. I bumped into her earlier for the first time in a couple of weeks, and she's still on an emotional roller-coaster going back and forth across the country sorting things out. If you want to wrap up this thread, that's for you to decide, but no one will complain if you want to keep posting. HNet is generally a happy place where we come to escape the troubles of the world, but it also has some nooks and crannies for topics like this.

intelligence Sometimes quoted with "military" as an oxymoron. Some of the movie was filmed across the river from where I went to college in London. Sadly, without the web back then, I only found after the area had been redeveloped.

Yesterday we lost Irish singer Sinead O'Connor at the age of only 56. I'm aware that she was a very controversial figure, especially in the US, but she always stuck to her principles rather than chasing fame or fortune, and campaigned for some worthy causes. She also struggled with mental health issues. There's been a huge outpouring of tributes over here for the singer with the fantastically pure voice. She influenced so many female artists including Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette. P!nk even sang 'Nothing Compares 2 U" to honor her in concert last night. From her 1987 debut album 'The Lion and the Cobra', here's 'Mandinka':

Skipper - I replaced your link with an embedded video. A lot of people don't like clicking links, especially as you gave no indication what video you were linking to.

I'm so sorry to read this news, Roger. I've literally just read a message from a friend of mine who lost a close friend over night, and that's just three weeks after she buried her mother. I obviously never knew your daughter, but you've shared various stories about meeting her over the years, so I feel like I know a bit about her. You'll be in my thoughts.

New ORLEANS Where the bad guys tell the Dukes they're heading in 'Robot P. Coltrane'. You actually reacted to my 'K' post - Sergeant KATCHER!

Sergeant KATCHER Alias used by Wilbur to trick Daisy in 'Targets: Daisy and Lulu'. Cooter's farm was "two miles east on Jessup Road".

Any progress is good, and you're definitely heading in the right direction. Great job.

Seeing as I've mentioned the contest twice recently: PRETTY PIGGY

James Cameron's company does have submarines and submersibles (there's a difference) that can safely take the pressure and even go the bottom of the Mariana Trench which is nearly three times deeper than the Titanic. According to this article, he's visited the wreck 33 times. The problem with OceanGate is that their vessel was insufficiently tested and uncertified, and many experts had expressed doubts about its construction. You can already take a virtual tour of the Titanic without leaving your front room (see video below), but now that it's possible to visit in person, some rich people are always going to want to say they've actually been there. The second video shows a very detailed 1:350 model of the wreckage with an explanation of which parts survive and which bits don't.

"Now, anybody that don't think that Boss Hogg was the one that hired them boys to rob the bank would buy beach property in IDAHO." As Skipper says, it's the same car (as far as I remember, these grabs are both from 'Duke vs Duke'): In my 'Other Vehicles of Hazzard' fanart thread, I showed how they used at least two different cars each time. I also suggested that they may have repainted the Chevelle(s) as Petey Willis' racecar in 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke'. "When Lulu left for the fat farm, she sent her skinny sister, Hortense, to Hazzard to keep an eye on old Boss."
