    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.

    The French Dukes of Hazzard words in English.

    You got the blues inside

    We can see it in your eyes

    The blues is pretty good 

    Ok, but you have to put some country in your mood

    Dream in the day

    And make your honey

    With the fire that shines

    In every girl's eyes

    The country life is the one I have chosen

    I can tear your fog

    With a single guitar chord

    Don't be pushed around again

    Without playing the bad man

    If there's a law

    You will have to show your claws

    And make the Sheriff go

    The Boss Hogg is very mean. 😂 In The Dukes of Hazzard Racing For Home PlayStation 1 PC and Game Boy Color, he has Rosco arrest Bo and Luke after they save his life from the hijackers who hijacked his Cadillac and stole his money. He has Rosco arrest the boys after they rescue him and get the money back for him. He does this to try and stop them from driving in the Overland Race which is the next day. 😲

    It doesn't work. Daisy Uncle Jesse and Cooter get the bail money and get them out. 😀

    Gilligan:"No it’s not. It’s in my eyes!"

    Skipper:"That's an idea. Why don't you close your eyes?" 

    Gilligan:"Ok Skipper. Where you going?" 

    Skipper:"I was just going to wash my hands." 

    Gilligan:"No you weren't! You're afraid to hit me, because I might hit you back, right fatso!?" 

    Skipper:"Now just a minute Gilligan! That's nothing but muscle, don't you ever forget it!" 

    Gilligan:"It's all fat, fatso! Go ahead! Go ahead!" 

    Skipper:"Little Buddy, I see exactly what you're trying to do. Thank you. Thank you. But we gotta go thru with this."

    Gilligan:"A what and a what?"

    Thurston:"Ole!"

    Gilligan:"No. It’s timbeerrrr!"
