Be glad you're not there all winter. SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) runs rampant in the middle of the country. Ott Lite made loads of money with full spectrum lighting back in the day.
We used to sell ottlite in the UK for that very reason.
Just seen that in the news. Tenbury Wells was the town. Talk about pouring salt on the wound so to speak. Given the damage they caused and the fact that many businesses there are no longer insured, not sure how that will be resolved. Might be a difficult situation for some time to come as the rivers are set to peak Wednesday. More rain forecast as well. My route to work is flooded, but I’m off for the week 😀
Cloudy gray skies are not good for the emotional balance, unfortunately.
I spent a week in a town in Nebraska, population 125. They had no stop signs for the dirt roads. There were no paved roads. Everyone knew everyone else's schedule, I suppose. It was 20-30 miles to the store. Most everyone lived on a farm, but there were a few houses in the town itself. We went to visit my grandparents' relatives and, as we were leaving the area, dad drove the wrong way, into South Dakota. I could not see any buildings or anything else.
I could provide a list of people that this would be perfect for!
Since 2016, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. However, my dad drove the wrong way, into South Dakota, instead of toward Iowa.
I hope that you have (enjoy?) a good night's rest.
I will certainly try!
That reminds me, one of my dad's favorite stories is when he had to sleep on the floor an Italian train station, after traveling through the Balkans. This was in the 1990s, shortly after those countries gained independence from Yugoslavia. He was traveling with one of his best friends, and neither of them had any money. I seriously doubt I could ever do that.
DFW? ATW?
Cars, planes, trains, travelling by bus, have all played host to me in a state of repose; actually, I've even slept solidly through both earthquakes and thunderstorms.
Hi!! I don't think you and I have spoken, at least in awhile.
The Appleton International Airport in Wisconsin, and the Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Dallas, Texas, a major city in the southwest. It used to be I would have to make a connection in between these places, but that is no longer the case.
Terrific to see you (or, rather read you) here and delighted to learn that both you and your mother are "hanging in".
Put it this way: Even as a child, I'd have catastrophically and categorically failed the proverbial Princess and the Pea Test, utterly and totally and completely.You have no idea how incredibly jealous this makes me!
