I Went To The Library

...and it was closed. It won't open until later in the day. I then hopped over to another branch. Ditto! It was closed too. If only there were still outdoor book-drop boxes...then I would have returned the tome and soon stopped off (admittedly, at my own convenience) to pay the late fee. I'll be on a tighter schedule this afternoon. I may have to try again tomorrow.

Sometimes I catastrophize things. I'm visualizing a newspaper headline that reads:
RETIRED LIBRARIAN BOOKED OVER BOOK!!!!

Libraries have largely eliminated outdoor book returns because of the fear that TERRORISTS will use them for bomb planting! These thugs are NOT militants, as the politically correct pundits have taken to calling them, and they especially do that when the TERRORISTS referred to, murder innocent Israeli men, women, and children.

BBL,

Jimmy C needs the help of a wise man (or wiseguy). He's got a wish list on my blog and there will be nothing under the Christmas tree if more people don't take a minute to vote whether he has been naughty or nice.

Sure it's silly, but you're retired and minute to help a fellow retiree would be appreciated.

I can not say 100% either way, but it's the holiday season. Give Jimmy C. any presents he wants.

Addendum: That's any presents he wants, within reason!
