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...

Tools for the Journey – #WATWB
Several years ago, while riding my bike on the ring road behind the airport. I suffered a blowout of my front tire. At the time, I was passing the New England Air Museum. The noise of the tire’s tube exploding was so loud, one of the museum staff drove over to me in a golf... Continue Reading →
For the Love of Bees – #WATWB
When I saw the article I am sharing today, I thought it was going to be about bees, and the problems facing bees – AND, I thought I knew something about this problem. After all, I’ve been reading about the problems/crisis facing bees for years. However, I did not know what a Solitary Bee was.... Continue Reading →
The Power of Beer – #WATWB
If you follow my Saturday series, you may have heard me mention Corona Beer. I have come to prefer Corona over other lagers, and now I have a new reason to support the brand – the Corona “Losing Blue” can. Corona is brewed in and imported from Mexico. Mexico is a country whose economy depends... Continue Reading →
I Know, I Know It’s Up To Six
The days at No Facilities with a blog post, that is – yes, I know. The “six” happened because #WATWB was Friday, and I wanted to re-blog Teagan’s opening episode. In my defense, Friday’s story about the two remarkable young women was my most popular #WATWB post ever, and Teagan’s prologue and Episode-One post really... Continue Reading →
One is All it Takes – #WATWB
This might be a strange little post for WATWB. I was alerted to a Twitter Tweet Stream earlier in April by a person I follow who said: “This is the nicest story I’ve read in a long time.” Who could resist? It’s a story, written originally as a series of tweets, by a woman who... Continue Reading →
Neighbors Helping Neighbors – #WATWB
The article I am sharing today is from last fall, but I checked, and the facts remain, and the kindness appears to still be being shown. It’s the kind of story that probably happens in towns all over the world, but in this case, it landed a little closer to home. I was born into... Continue Reading →
Speaking with Authority – #WATWB
When I participate in this wonderful blogfest, I usually try to find a subject area in which I have some experience, or some insightful position from which to anchor my thoughts. That limits me to a small number of subjects. I’m not trying to be funny, it’s just a fact. Sometimes, when I have an... Continue Reading →
Let There Be Dark – #WATWB
I don’t like to repeat elements of stories in the #WATWB posts, but I am returning to The Cathedral of Learning this month. As you know, if you follow this blog, the cathedral is the signature building on The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) campus, and a symbol of the proud city in which it was... Continue Reading →
