The nearest one to me is Groton, the sub base.  That's 40 miles out.  In a
state this densely populated, that's pretty much on the moon.

Yep - I was outside waiting in line for a church sale this morning.  Dang
that was a bit chilly.  Flannel and fleece keep you warmer than beads do.

We had chili from a pouch.(LOL)  It's Saturday night and no one had the
energy to cook.

Good idea. I do offload things too.  Some of the necklaces end up in the
local senior center.  Others land in the UConn Medical Center thrift shop.

And probably didn't survive the night, knowing college students. I did a
ginger cake tonight; we'll find out tomorrow if it worked.

WWI broke out.
