Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
My regular readers are a savvy group. Yes, spellcheck, I know, two ‘Vs’ in savvy, not two ‘As’ – still, I should get partial credit for remembering that it had two of something. In any case, No Facilities isn’t the place to come to catch up on the pandemic, the protests, forest fires, plane crashes... Continue Reading →
It wouldn’t surprise anyone to discover that I’ve had the TV on a little more than normal for the past few weeks.

Yes! Bonus points are available. I love bonus points. Linda says: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “yes.” Use it as a word, use it in a word, extra points if you start and finish your post with it.
