Well, on Wednesday I needed to move money between a couple of my bank accounts. Unfortunatley those two banks are physically seperated, and I can’t electronically move the money between them. So I had to head out, go to the first bank then head over to the 2nd bank. Of […]
Well, today’s walk brought me to Erickson Park in Ledyard, hoping to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south along the swolen Thames River somewhere mid-walk, and before the nasty looking skies above opened up. No such luck in the train department, but I did catch the New England […]

Well, today started out as a typical Monday – got out of the house a touch late, and didn’t realize until I was walking into my building that I had left my laptop at home – 40 minutes away. So I went in, checked messages – I’ve got a desktop […]
Today was another late start for me trying to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading into Groton. As I was driving north, the radio was somewhat silent – no aparent sign of NR-2 anywhere…until I turned onto Fairview Ave, and crossed over the bridge spanning the south end of […]
