Just wish it’d warm up a bit. I’d even be OK with a bit of heat...briefly...

Got groceries. Went to the library to pick up a book I had on reserve, and got all thrown off because they now have reserve books out where you can pick them up without having to ask at the counter. And then check them out at the automatic check-out. No personal interaction required.

I guess it means I can now reserve my serial killer and bio-warfare books without having to make eye contact with those who know I’ve done so. ;-) But I kinda liked the old way.

And — I’m gonna blame the Indiana Jones movie for this — I spent way too much at Amazon downloads this morning for stuff like Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers...

I’m on a 50s / early 60s vibe for a bit. ;-) It goes with the typewriters and fountain pens, I guess. I was irritated that none of the typewriters in the movie were shown all that well on camera. Especially as I think one of ‘em was actually from well into the 60s and I wanted to be sure before mocking ‘em for it.

I love systems like that. The Fort Collins system worked the same way.

Need to hit the library again... guess I’ll start going this week. I’m working 4 nine hour days and a half day Friday the rest of the summer.

We went to the gun show... fondled some nice stuff, bought some magazines for our Bersa 380 and my P22, bought some accessories for Talon’s AR. Then we got a big handbook on reloading... going to place some orders for reloading gear soon.
