Libraries are Wonderful Things

keith's flight was delayed to lax.... i had already left the house in case their was traffic (as happens in LA) so i kept going to the airport.  i stopped at a grocery store for an apple and a cinnamon roll.  then the flight was delayed again.  so i put barnes and noble into the gps and headed off the 2.5 miles.  no barnes and noble.  then i thought to myself i don't really want a barnes and noble, i want a library.  there was one less than a mile from the failed barnes and noble and i found books, glorious books, and internet. to access the internet i had to get a library card.  i'm thinking i should start collecting library cards.  i should have kept my nevada ones....  interestingly it was easier to get a library card in a county where i am not a resident than it was for me to get a library card at the library 1/3 a mile from my house & po box.

and how are you going to get the books back to the library? how far is it and will your library send them back?

keith called and so i knew it was delayed. they must have moved the barnes & noble so i probably could have asked around to find out where, but it wasn't really worth it. i didn't check out any books just got the card so i could access the internet in the library.
