A couple weeks ago we got a lovely note from someone on the other side of the country thanking us profusely for ILLing a book to them. Curious, we looked up the book they borrowed.
It would have cost $1,200 for them to purchase it.
ILL is one of the things I love most about libraries.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

30 years ago tonight: Bowie at Wembley. Eno attends: "It was good, DB was in great form, but I felt there were too many people playing too much of the time. Whenever there was an arrangement (an arrangement is when someone stops playing) it sounded good" www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH1u...

There once was a man who said "scone"
So that it rhymed with "gone",
But his wife said "scone"
To rhyme with "tone";
That marriage is over, it's done.

Los Angeles, CA -
LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

Happy World Bread Day! One of my favourite etymologies is that the words "Lady" and "Lord" come from Old English "hlafdige" and "hlafweard," essentially meaning "one who makes the bread" and "one who guards the bread"
