Stupid Stuff & Skippy – #SoCS #JusJoJan

It’s time for Linda G. Hill’s double-stuff Saturday, where Stream of Consciousness Saturday meets Just Jot January and we’re left with: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘last call.’ Talk about the enterprise (sales or service) conducted by the last phone call you received from a business you’re not associated with...

Main St Essex CT – #ThursdayDoors

As I was driving away from the Connecticut River Museum a few weeks ago, I spied something few people see when visiting Essex – available parking spaces on Main St. Essex is a small, mostly residential community with ample attractions to bring a crowd of visitors to Main St. The street is lined with restaurants...

Recognizing Big Wheels – #1LinerWeds #JusJoJan

I’m thinking about trains this week. There have been several articles in our local papers about how the relatively new Connecticut Railroad’s Hartford Line has exceeded expectations and reached the One Million Passenger mark well ahead of schedule.

Now with Less Precision – #JusJoJan

As some of you know, buried under the About menu at the top of this page is a menu option for “Conversion Util.” Several years ago, I wrote a simple US/English-to-Metric conversion utility. I use it all the time for temperature (since we are the only place on the planet that still uses Fahrenheit) but... Continue Reading →

Sunshine Times Two – #JusJoJan

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I don’t usually do awards. I haven’t declared this to be an “Award Free Zone,” but I usually have something else going on.

A Few Doors from Essex – #ThursdayDoors

Since I’ve asked many of you to experience more from me this week than in most weeks, today I’m just going to share the first few doors I encountered in Essex, Connecticut when I visited two weeks ago. These doors are near, at and within the Connecticut River Museum. In the future, I will share... Continue Reading →

Frustration Part-2 – Update

I have spoken to the Happiness Engineers, and while I didn't get the answers I wanted, I got some that might work. If I can't be happy, hopefully I can be less sad about this new editor. I asked the Happiness Engineers if there was a way to indent paragraph blocks. I was told that... Continue Reading →

Frustration Index Near 100 – #1LinerWeds

If you visited my blog yesterday, you might have noticed something odd. Yes, it’s odd enough to find a new post on a Tuesday, but not so odd during Just Jot January. I wanted to offer a tiny hat tip to the authors I’ve met through my blog. It was going to be a simple... Continue Reading →
