Library moments

So what could be more fun than this: I left the library for about 10 minutes this morning and when I got back there are the police arresting some guy right there in the foyer. Handcuffs and all. He'd come in the library just as I was leaving. Sheesh. I think I missed something there. And the gals at the desk told me that just as I was leaving last night the police were there to "visit" with some juveniles that had raced in earlier to use a computer..
We had another one in later on that was overly adamant about his love for Jeanne Dixon. Ok, she's been dead for awhile and her "prophecy" was never too hot in the first place, but I bet she never predicted the real weirdos that would be hanging on to her every word.
Don't I love this job?!

Isaiah helped us put up our Christmas tree the other day. He loved checking out all the ornaments and figuring out what everything was. Some of our ornaments are eggs! How weird. He helped put the pickles in, too, so those of you who want a head start can check with Isaiah to figure out where they are on the tree! The ornaments did tend to get clumped all towards the bottom, so we fixed that by using a stool so we could hang them higher! All in all the tree looks great. I have to say, there's nothing like little ones to help you get into the spirit of things.

All Angles



I can't believe 3 whole days have gone by since my last post. You wouldn't want to know what I've been filling my time with. It's really very uncharacteristic of me. Math problems. Have I ever talked about how math and I are at odds? Those of you who know me well, know that this is truly so. But these pictures of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis are appropriate anyway. You know, Angles. Math. Why everywhere you look math problems abound. I like these angle problems much better though. Don't you just love perspective? Turn the camera a bit this way, or stand over in a corner here and everything looks different. Yes. math. I didn't ever believe I would become so aquainted with it.
( by the way, who can tell me what the number is for 6 and 3/4 cents per thousand of 33,200,000?)
