Time to Keep Silence – #SoCS

Welcome to February. We’re getting ready for the big game here in the US, but Linda G. Hill has given us a challenge to get through first: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “choices.” Base your post on the subject of making small, uneventful choices. Enjoy!” If we were having a beer,... Continue Reading →

Robo NoMo? – #WATWB

I apologize for the fact that this post may be a little too US-centric for WATWB, but it has the potential to be such good news, that I had to share it. It’s a rare moment these days, when the US Congress and our President actually work together and try to do something good for... Continue Reading →

Main St Essex Part II – ThursdayDoors

Wait a minute. We’ve seen those two photos before, and one of them isn’t a door. What gives, Dan? Main St. Essex is narrow, so all the photos I have are from the opposite side of the street as I walked from my car to the center of town and back. Last week I was... Continue Reading →

Can I Not Help You? – #1LinerWeds #JusJoJan

Last week, we received a warning flier in the mail. “You’re TV Equipment is Outdated!” I’ve been getting emails about this for several months. I don’t really care. I switched to Hulu and YouTube TV over a year ago. This mailing called attention to a series of events over the next 90 days, where I... Continue Reading →

Facebook RD – #JusJoJan

That’s not a typo. This isn’t a post about Facebook’s research and development. This post is about Facebook’s razzle-dazzle attempts to get me to spend more money. I’m sorry, that would be spend money – I’ve never spent my own money on anything Facebook. I qualified that last statement because I did once place an... Continue Reading →

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. I like this train, and I’m thinking about taking a ride just for the fun of it.... Continue Reading →

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 →
