But it often ends up with the same thought process.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>RandomThoughts belong on a Big Board!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I was so disappointed to find out &#8220;That Burrito Spot&#8221; closed at the end of July. Richard Warren did a hell of a job providing the best food in the area at reasonable prices. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2015\/09\/29\/review-that-burrito-spot\/\" target=\"_blank\">We loved the place and told you about it in a SouthsideCentral review<\/a>. The location was bad for a quick-service restaurant, but I hope he gives it another try at a new location once he recovers from his losses.<\/li>\n<li>But I&#8217;m glad to recommend &#8220;The Cake Lady&#8221;. Barbara &amp; Mike Durbin bake up some of the best cakes and goodies in the region and are always at the Farmers Market with plenty to sell. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/The-Cake-Lady-172085949504223\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s their Facebook page for you to take a look at (and like)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Well, two RandomThoughts so far and they&#8217;re both about food. Wow. Didn&#8217;t see that one coming. Heh.<\/li>\n<li>Although I&#8217;m sure that the Danville police department had their reasons for not publicly identifying the murder suspect who was shot and killed by South Carolina police early this morning, I still feel that releasing that information would have given locals something to help produce leads in the case.<\/li>\n<li>So far, I&#8217;m highly impressed with Ceillie Simkiss and her work. She&#8217;s the newest Danville Register &amp; Bee reporter that replaced Vicky Cruz. Simkiss was assigned to the county government beat and has picked up from John Crane&#8217;s excellent work.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s good to know that South Boston News &amp; Record sports editor and salesman Tucker McLaughlin is recovering well from a brief illness. Tucker&#8217;s a damn nice guy.<\/li>\n<li>The power occasionally goes out during thunderstorms, although it seems that a lot of people don&#8217;t understand that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired. That&#8217;s enough RandomThoughts for now or else I&#8217;m going to faceplant into the keyboard. Although whatever I typed by doing that would be quite random, of course.
