National Train Day 2020 – #SoCS

How many things can we do on a Saturday? Well, it is National Train Day, Linda G. Hill has given us a Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, and the virtual bar at No Facilities remains open, so… Let’s see what Linda gave us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘cave.’ Use it...

Railroad Doors – #ThursdayDoors

The notes in my blog-idea-tracking system, a.k.a. Trello tell me that I’m supposed to remind a lot of people that National Train Day will be celebrated (quietly) on Saturday, May 9th. I’ve been dedicating a post on my blog on the “Saturday closest to May 10th” (as AMTRAK defined it) for several years. Unfortunately, AMTRAK,... Continue Reading →

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.

No Baseball Talk! – #SoCS

The usual suspects have gathered at the No Facilities bar, but Linda G. Hill has given us quite the challenge with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘astronomical.’ Use it any way you like. Have fun!” Have fun? That’s a tall order, Linda. If we were... Continue Reading →

Don’t Be Grumpy – #1LinerWeds

I traveled by train from Connecticut to Washington, DC in early December. This story starts on that train, in New Rochelle, NY (yes, where Rob and Laura lived). A woman got on the train, dressed for business and looking like she was ready to read someone the riot act. Our car was crowded, but the... Continue Reading →

Tis the Season – #ThursdayDoors

No, not for Christmas, for leftovers. Following a short holiday week here in the US, I was greeted by the week that marks the end of our company’s fiscal year. A week spent weaving in and out of budgets and trying to finish that which should be paid for in 2018. Suffice it to say,... Continue Reading →

What He Said – #1LinerWeds

Have you ever been in a situation where someone is being a loud-mouth jerk and you want to say something but what you’re thinking of saying would likely make matters worse? I was in such a situation last Thursday, but fortunately, another man wanted to say something and came up with the right thing. If... Continue Reading →

Roll with the Punches – #SoCS

It’s not just Saturday at the bar, it’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Linda G. Hill has given us one of her famous ‘use one or both’ – wait, I don’t see an offer of bonus points – oh well, it looks like a fun prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘roll/role.’...

Another Continent Heard From

Once again, Linda G. Hill is tempting me with magical bonus points. I can’t resist. We’re heading to the bar to work with her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘T, tea, tee.’ Theme your post around ‘tea’ or ‘tee,’ or find a word that starts with...
