Things I learned today (Part 2)

Watched a mini series starring Kevin Cosnter on this lately. Probably puts the Hutch-Kinihan feud in the ha’penny place.

Hatfield–McCoy feud

Would it not melt on the way there

There was an Ice House in the old Demesne beside us in Kilfane House. It was an oval shaped structure like a space ship with half of it buried underground. About the size of a small house.

Before my time they’d harvest ice off the lake in winter time and store it in the Ice House. Seemingly it would last throughout the summer.

It was bulldozed by the local farmer when I was a teenager much to my father’s dismay. We’d go into it sometimes during the summer. It would always be lovely and cool. The heat of India would be a different story of course.

In Trading Places, Louis Winthorpe’s (Dan Ackroyd”s) prison number is the same as Jake Blues (John Belushi”s) in the Blues Brothers as a small tribute to Belushi who had died the previous year.

The last digit in Winthorpe’s looks more like an 8 than a B.
