It's getting so I need to take a Dramamine before I look at any news of the economy.

It wasn't in the set, but she had it on videotape. It turns out that a song by Sting was used throughout the episode, and (if I remember correctly) is even referenced in the script, so it was a major plot point. HOWEVER, when the DVDs were being prepared for release, they couldn't get the DVD rights to the song. They, of course, wanted to release the season, so they just left off that one episode.DH Jed was quite annoyed when he bought the DVD set of Quantum Leap, only to discover that they didn't want to shell out the $$ for a lot of the song rights, so unless one of the characters like Scott Bakula was actually singing the song, or it was referenced in the script, it was replaced with elevator music. Lame.

That's cute.
Our library isn't convenient for me
Ann - coming soon:der Brucer
Our library isn't convenient for me, and parking can be difficult. I went a number of times when we first moved here, when dogs were still permitted. After Echo was no long welcome I stopped going. I've decided I should use the library & was curious if I could go on line to hold books. Seems I should be able to once I log in. I can't log in without a password & I can't find a place to give it one. The phone number for the library has bee busy for a long time.

If I'm to believe my on-line TV Guide, the local Fox Network stations will pre-empt the Debates with baseball (the NLCS game). (Since we are in the Philly viewing area, that might stop mob-riots).der Brucer
True, however, it is far more convenient than the library is.

DR George, are you saying you have to set up your log-in info at the library, vs online?
Is the debate at six or six-thirty?

Two mysteries solved at once. The library was busy as the number on the card was not the current phone number for the library. I couldn't use my library card number on line as my card was canceled due to lack of use. I wish they had warned me it would be canceled. It would have gotten me into use the library.
Dogs are still not allowed & there isn't a drive through pick up. At least there is a drive up drop off.
