It’s Technical Friday. And I’m ready for it to be Quit o’Clock. (Just being honest.)
Last night, Dave and Angy came over to watch football and to visit the girls.

The game wasn’t all that compelling, but it was football. And we watched. Somewhere in the second half, Dave and I started talking model railroad ideas. Yeah, I know… real stretch there. I think that I have a rudimentary plan for at least half of my layout-to-be, incorprating the new turntable. Now, I just need to determine how best to add a small rail yard… and what I want to do for the city portion of the layout. I’d still like to be able to use the SuperStreets, as well.
And, of course, I just came up with yet another idea. *sigh*
Stray Toasters
- As I noted earlier, on Facebook: There are ads everywhere – online, radio, TV – about “Black Friday” sales. I find it amusing that retailers don’t take into account that for 12.6% of the U.S. population, every Friday is “Black Friday.”
- 48th anniversary of JFK’s assassination
- Both the Darkwing Duck and the Doctor Who fan in me thought this was hilarious:

- Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration
- Jane, divided
But I can’t decide
Which side I’m on… - Pull of Family Reshapes U.S.-Cuban Relations
- New Xbox Dashboard Launches on December 6
- Water utilities in Illinois, Houston reportedly hacked

Re: SMBC comic strip. Switch the genders, and you’ll have a conversation between me and most men. It’s funny because it’s true. And it hurts.
