- Second Half on Main, the Third
Place: "We all need a dependable place of refuge where, for a few
minutes a day, we can escape from the demands of our daily lives. It's that
place where you can relax and unwind. Your third place. It's not your home, and
not your work. Those are the first two places. It's the third place where we all
go "to be". (Ray Oldenberg, author of The Great Good Place)
- Diana's Impressions - local artist, oil painting by commission.
- Mara's cafe and bakery - another 'third place' sans alchohol.
- Adams Beer Garden - One of the
few places where you can buy and smoke a cigar (on the outside cigard deck);
extensive selection of beers on tap, specials, games and pool table, bands
on weekends...
- Maxfields on Main, Boonton - one of
the few places to have quality live music everyweek. Blues,
rockabilly, jazz, country.
- ETD Discount tire has always done reasonable car repairs for me, for
decades.
Recommended free computer tools
-
CCleaner - Make sure you edit this to
exclude cleaning anything you don't want to remove! Especially
regarding browser software. I recommend only removing
temporary files. In addition, you should run the registry
cleaner and SAVE the items it finds that could be removed (in case
the software makes an error you can recover the registry).
What's a 'registry'? It's like the table of contents of your
computer that gets edited every time you install or make a change to
software.
- Malwarebytes and
ADWCleaner from the
same company. Most problems with slow browsers can be resolved
with these services.
- Hitman pro can be purchased to root out more serious threats
- Download.com, FileHippo,
SourceForge.net - Make sure when installing any program that you
choose the 'advanced' install which will allow you to avoid
installing programs or features you don't want!!!
Fun and educational free games
-
SourceForge.net has FreeCiv and FreeCol - games that mimic the old
Civilization and Conlization games. They are challenging and
educational.
