Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
This month for WATWB, I am sharing two articles from ThomasNet, the digital outgrowth of the Thomas Register that describes itself as “a data, platform and technology company that has become the leading resource for the industrial marketplace.” I don’t know about all that, but I find some of the articles they publish to be...

There’s a title that could be applied to so many things. Let me start by saying, this post isn’t political, nor is it about any of the popular contentious points gripping society (according to social media and the stuff that claims to be news).

Just a quick update on the “Like” button and it is mostly good news! I updated my still-open issue with the Like button on Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who added comments to my post on Monday.
