Jimmy Dean and his wife, Donna, escaped a late night fire to their Varina home last night. Everyone was okay but the home was significantly damaged.
Yes, when I read that Jimmy Dean had a house fire the first thing that came to my mind was breakfast sausage. I'm warped that way. If your late coming to this game called NashvilleGab you'll soon come to realize I'm just a dork so don't mind me.
Anyway, back to the fire. It was reported at 8:05 p.m. and was still not under control at 11:30 p.m. The home was large enough and secluded enough that it took eight engine companies, three tanker trucks, and two ladders to fight the blaze. They also had to shuttle water about a mile to get it to the residence.
Firefighters discovered fire from the “basement to the attic” when they arrived, Henrico fire Lt. Chris Buehren. The fire spread quickly because the “balloon-frame” house has no interior fire stops, he said.

You are correct, sir!
Out of the old Connery flicks, Goldfinger, FRWL and YOLT are tied for first. Thunderball and Dr. No just never did a lot for me.
I agree. And there was only one very good Moore Bond film, "For Your Eyes Only." "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Octopussy" were OK. The rest were awful.
As for Dalton, "The Living Daylights" was decent, "License to Kill" was a boring episode of "Miami Vice."
I disliked Brosnan and all of his Bond movies.
"Casino Royale" was fantastic.

Agreed on “FYEO”.
Best underwater and ski sequences of any Bond film, and one of the best all-around Bond films, even with Roger Moore.
“Octopussy” was only marginally better than the odious “View To A Kill”.
I’m a Dalton fan, especially in “License to Kill” because it’s a grittier, more malevolent Bond than we’d seen since the early 1970s.
