Cold and rainy here today. So I've been watching Netflix on my day off.

I stumbled onto this series. Lots more interesting than the usual documenatries, and we've been watching British series recently.

Secrets of Great British Castles.

Historian Dan Jones explores the millennium of history behind six of Great Britain's most famous castles: Warwick, Dover, Caernarfon, the Tower of London, Carrickfergus, and Stirling.

Thanks for the recommendation, Ohva.  I find castles fascinating!

Thanks MC.

We're following IT in Bill's forum, for anyone wanting to keep up with the news. I think the trailer is terrifying.

The boyz on Glock Talk went nuts over it -- thought it was majorly creepy and pretty much they were all in.

If it was real world based, it would be a REAL short movie:

Effective October 15, 2015, Public Law 2015, Chapter 327 (LD 652), “An Act To Authorize the Carrying of Concealed Handguns without a Permit,” allows a person who is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm to carry a concealed handgun in the State of Maine without a permit. This law also authorizes a person to possess a loaded pistol or revolver while in a motor vehicle, trailer or other vehicle being hauled by a motor vehicle.

I've been hit or miss on watching Sleepy Hollow with you all, but I have to say that I enjoyed the season a lot more than I expected. I do miss Abby and her relationship with Crane, but I think they've rebooted the show really well. The new characters are interesting and they've returned to the roots of supernatural events mixing with history. Given that they kept the Dreyfus story contained to one season, I'm assuming they've finally learned the Katrina lesson about dragging a story out past its due date. All in all, i really enjoyed the season. I like Lara - she's no Abby, but she has a lot of potential. And I am fascinated by her being raised by a demon.

I saw that --  evidently Starz is putting out a teaser on Sunday so I'm guessing it will also pop up on YouTube.

Here is another companion pick the ladies on Goodreads tipped me off to:
