there are two peddlers (that I am familiar with) that still come to town with really big carvings and one that always thinks he went to college with me (I am 30 years his junior) who uses sticks to make cool baskets on the village greens- just a little bit of #connecticutfacts at 7:50 am

it’s donut and pie season and I just want to remind the nation that there is no nutmeg in connecticut, that is a tropical plant. The state is called the nutmeg state because early yankee peddlers used chunks of wood carved to look like nutmeg to trick people into trading them for better goods

I’m the mortician in Richard Scarry’s Busytown. I’m a dog who wears a baseball hat that says “who let ME out”. I drive a dried up footlong meatball sub that’s also a hearse every day.

I’m knitting in a waiting room and another woman is crocheting and now I feel like we’re in a race.

just watched an elderly man wipe his windshield with the available thing at the gas station and then hurl that thing straight into the trash

Luke from Gilmore girls but he’s old and he’s in a pinkish flannel and I truly think his backwards cap is computer generated- overall a bad pic just letting you know
