Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
It is a dark and stormy Saturday in Connecticut. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. But it is Saturday and it’s time to head to the bar, where our conversation will be guided by Linda Hill’s Just Jot it January and Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Today, Linda invites us to talk about the appliance/industry that defines... Continue Reading →
Being sick during the work-a-day portion of this new year, I hadn’t yet been able visit Great River Park. I wanted to stop on my way to work yesterday, but I wasn’t sure it was a good idea. We had received a small amount of snow overnight. Such an insignificant amount of snow wouldn’t normally... Continue Reading →
The challenge has been presented, and there are bonus points at stake. Linda G.

Last week, Linda G. Hill announced the #SoCS Badge contest. I... Continue Reading →

Or perhaps that’s good-bye sunshine… If you’ve been following No Facilities for a year or more, you know that I am no fan of Daylight Saving Time.

If we were having a beer, you’d be the one who is late. “Hi Cheryl. No sign of the old man yet?” “Nope. That’s OK. Whenever he’s here before you, he grumbles about your being late.” “Well, I won’t be grumbling. And I won’t be waiting, I’ll have a Brooklyn.” “I had anticipated that. Brooklyn... Continue Reading →
