Were It Not For Fidel

It's funny.

I hate Communism like I hate fascism. I hate all totalitarian systems.

But were it not for the communism which drove my parents to flee Cuba, I wouldn't have been born at all, or certainly not here in the US.

Now *that's* ironic.

Anyway, carry on.

OK, off I go into the wild blue yonder. See y'all on the flip.

What I'm reading right now:

American Civil Wars: A Continental History, 1850-1873

Nazis, Islamists, and the Making of the Modern Middle East

How To Make A Bomb (novel)

The Black Book of Communism

How Bad Writing Destroyed the World: Ayn Rand and the Literary Origins of the Financial Crisis

Four Quartets (poetry)

What do y'all have in your stacks?

So. Crazy lady at one of our tables. She's talking loudly on the phone. I ask her to take the call outside. NOTE: I did *not* kick her out of the library. She ignores me, so I go get our security guard. As we get back to the adult area, she's already packed up and heading out. The guard escorts her—again, I did NOT kick her out—and she's gibbering madly. She leaves the library and starts complaining... to one of our book drops.

Never a dull moment.

I'm SO going to shit on your head when you're asleep!

Really. Again, I cannot fully express what a wonderful app V-Flat is for your book scanning needs. Completely worth the minimal monthly/yearly price for all it does. I'm returning a $200 overhead scanner to Amazon tomorrow.

Adhesive.

NVidia is valued at THREE FUCKING TRILLION DOLLARS.

We really need to get cracking on our Star Trek future where this just doesn't exist.

Redolent of Wenger during the final decade of his tenure saying that Arsenal were successful because they always made a top-four finish.

England may survive the first knockout round, but not the second.
