Bridgeport, CT non-adventures

Here in Bridgeport, we were fortunate to have a "dark day",
i.e. a day of no shows and a day off for most circus peeps.
Most people took advantage of the break to visit NYC, only a short drive/Amtrak/Metro ride away.
As for me, I'm embarrassed to say I didn't realize how close we were to the city,
and so didn't make any plans to drop in :(    #FAIL.
Gotta pay more attention. Fortunately we're spending a significant amount of time in the tri-state next year.

I was all hyped to visit the P.T. Barnum Museum (he was born in Bridgeport),
but it was closed due to tornado damage.
I spent the dark day doing some Christmas window shopping, and working on building a shelf to add to the existing bookshelf in my room. We were parked directly behind a Home Depot in a shopping plaza with a Target, TJ Maxx, DSW, and more, so I spent a lot of time walking and looking. I kept an eye out for date nails in the train yard as the tracks were old and rotted, but didn't find any.


Kyle, one of the newer train crew members here, kindly offered to help me build my shelf. My measurements were inaccurate (surprise surprise) so he's still working on getting it to the correct size. In the meantime, I'm installing supports for the shelf.
