    Season 3 Baa, Baa, White Sheep

    Abraham Lincoln Hogg (While riding in the General Lee with Luke & Daisy Duke on a bumpy road. Hitting his head on the car's roof.):"I'd rather go over Niagara Falls in a barrel than take another ride on this road!" 😂 

    Luke:"That's Boss for you. The only good roads in the county are the ones that lead to his properties." 😂 

    Abraham Lincoln Hogg:"That's my brother!" 😂

    A dramatic illustration showing the heart-stopping moments as the Titanic split in two in the silent night ocean. ⛴️💔

     

    Fun Fact: > Although often depicted as breaking apart in films, the truth that the Titanic broke into two pieces was only scientifically proven in 1985 after its wreckage was found on the seabed.

     

    (Photo of the ship breaking. Bow underwater separating from the stern.)

     

    My comment:

     

    It did break up. But it's always depicted as sinking whole in movies pre 1997 James Cameron. Because by '97 we knew for a fact that she broke up, and Cameron portrayed it that way. Movies pre '97 like A Night to Remember (1958) based on the Walter Lord book of the same name were filmed before the wreck was discovered. Nobody knew it broke up in spite of eyewitness who saw it break and said that it did. They were not believed. When the wreck was discovered by Dr. Robert Ballard on 9/1/85, history would change forever what we thought we knew about the Titanic.

    I wish I could have one of the Skipper hats that Alan Hale (Skipper) signed when he autographed them and sold or gave them away at his Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel restaurant. He autographed the brims with "Alan Hale Skipper."

    There were yellow wind and rain warnings in place here for most of the day, but where I live, we got away lightly. It was just a wet, miserable day with a few heavy showers. A couple of places in Co. Wexford got badly flooded when the river burst its banks.

    Uh oh about the flooding. That's not good. 😨

    Mind-blowing reading experience alert! 🤯 When I read Gordon Korman's Titanic Book series, I don't just imagine the characters - I see and hear the James Cameron movie cast! 😍 Bernard Hill as Captain Smith, Jonny Phillips as Lightoller, Kathy Bates as Molly Brown... it's like the movie's playing in my head! 🎬

     

    This happens with other books too! Stephen King's Christine = John Carpenter's cast (Keith Gordon as Arnie, John Stockwell as Dennis...), and James McLendon's Eddie Macon's Run = Jeff Kanew's crew (John Schneider as Eddie, Kirk Douglas as Marzack...). I even hear the movie soundtracks! 😂 When Christine kills Moochie, I hear "Little Bitty Pretty One" 🤘.

     

    Has anyone else got a book-to-movie brain like mine? 😄 #readingcommunity #booklovers #moviemagic

    Christine(1983)Book/Movie fans... What Arnie Cunningham knew that nobody else knew was the car was haphazardly restoring itself. That explains the hopscotch of old and new parts. The half grille etc.

    We've had a miserable few days of rain, but no freezing temperatures for over a week. I think the coldest where I live was about -5C which is 23F. If you had -5F, that's about -20.5C to the rest of the world.

    My brother said "An ice storm is coming." Our Mom said "It's supposed to get bad here."

    Looks like a cold week ahead. Negative 5 last night. Big time snow coming in. Even north Georgia in the bullseye. I called Uncle Jesse on the CB but he already knew, He can predict weather by how the wild critters behave. 

    Post your weather report here. It looks like Hoss is the only one safe from this winter monster.

    Happy ending to Book Three of the Gordon Korman Titanic Novel series - S. O. S.! 😀 Survivors made it to New York, and Paddy's got a surprising reward for saving some unexpected friends. But the bittersweet part? Paddy's girlfriend Sophie never sees him again, just a mysterious "Godspeed P" note.  Sophie's raising the little orphan girl she rescued, named after her dad and Alfie, the Titanic steward. A mix of sadness and happiness in the end 😢. #Titanic #GordonKorman #HappyEnding

    Did you know there's a hidden symbolism in Titanic (1997)? In the Captain Smith lemon tea scene, the cup represents the North Atlantic Ocean, and the lemon slice under the tea symbolizes the hidden iceberg beneath the surface. Mind blown, right? #Titanic #JamesCameron #Symbolism

    My new toy I picked up yesterday Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Can't put it down. Need to find the first 2 Titanic Books Novels. The series is:

    1. Titanic Unsinkable 

    2. Titanic Collision Course 

    3. Titanic S. O. S. (I found this one. It's hard to put it down.) 😲

    Titanic (1997)

    Captain Smith:"Clear."

    Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:"Yes. I don't think I've ever seen such a flat calm."

    Smith:"Like a mill pond, not a breath of wind."

    Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:"It will make the bergs harder to see... with no breaking water at the base."

    Smith:"Hmm. Well, I'm off. Mantain speed and heading, Mr. Lightoller."

    Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:"Yes, sir."

    Did you know the Lemon Tea scene served a purpose as did every scene James Cameron shot. The Lemon Tea scene with Captain Smith playing with the Lemon slice with his spoon, the cup of Tea represents the ocean, and the Lemon under the Tea represents the part of the iceberg underneath the water. The scene is a representation of visibility.
