DR JRand, maybe your library is like many of the public libraries in Oregon...although taxes support  them, it is only by a thread. Our libraries get shuttered every now and then. I think all of Jackson County's libraries closed down for a year or so...DR Jane will remember the exact amount of time.

For a book loving state, our library system has never been well supported by those in charge of such things.

The pictured building is no longer our library. It does look familiar, however. Must be used for offices or something downtown.

Errands are run, and I am waiting on the arrival of Mr Rob Berman to pick up his scores. Then I will head for home.

I did make sure, when I was returning my file with all my clippings that both of them saw that they were dealing with someone who might actually be somebody in town....not a member of the great unwashed.

A cousin of one of my exes used to make sure people knew this by bringing photos of himself in the shower.  He was called many things, but "unwashed" was never among them.

[FJL]

That didn;t really happen, by the way.

An Update on the Problem of Maria

The Baroness Regrets

[Cillaliz]

Decided to come home and work here today.  Cal was really mad when we got home. She has the funniest mad face.   Anyway, she's resting comfortably.  Between the weather, worrying about her and not getting a lot of sleep, I'm not feeling so hot.  Oh, I haven't had any caffine today.  Maybe I'll make some ice tea.

Just read that Deanna Durbin died today at the age of 91. Please don't say who is Deanna Durbin.

Well the news is mixed from the vet.  He couldn't find any place in particular where she had been injured.  He said it was possible that she got a little puncture from a claw and it's infected under the skin, so he's giving her antibiotics, but....if they don't work then there's a chance that she could have cancer. If that's what it is, he said it may be a very aggressive form that doesn't show up on the xrays right away and when it does show up the bone is basically gone.   I'm not panicking.  The first time a vet told me Callie may have cancer she was 2 1/2 years old.  She'll be 11 years old in June.  She has really high calcium levels in her blood and always has had.  So that's what they've based that idea on in the past.   I'm going to give her the antibiotics and hope for the best. 

She didn't enjoy the snow this morning.

Yesterday, I signed up for Netflix.  At least, I'm going to do the free trial for a month.

Our local Blockbuster closed a few weeks ago, so yesterday I went over to the next closest one (7 miles away), only to find that they have raised their rates to almost double what they were before.

So, I said "Screw it!" and left.

I should have my first 2 DVDs from Netflix by the end of this week.

I just heard this morning that as of last night, Netflix lost about 2000 movies.  Doing a quick search, I found THIS little article about it.

Most of the titles on Netflix streaming are temporary. The company has agreements to show the titles for a certain amount of years, so it is always a good idea to look for the expiration date when you add a film to your streaming queue.

This week they are suppose to be adding around 500 titles.

And that's what I hate about streaming!  You can't "own" it.

Good morning, all.

Oy! and Damnation!  It's official:  I really do have a cold.

Yes I read that. She was delightful with a wonderful singing voice.

Yesterday, I signed up for Netflix. 

For the first time I reserved two DVD's from the library.  One came in today.  I have no idea how many days I have to pick it up, or to keep it once I check it out.  I also need to find my library card.

I went on my bike around the lake twice this week. I am going to try to go everyday (although probably won't end up doing it). But I need the exercise.

The lake is interesting this time of year. The trees are all bare. So it's not very visually appealing. But the lake part and ducks are nice. And the no cars part is nice too.

Does your library carry new movies?

This is how I watch all of my movies (from the library). They seem to get most new ones. And you can request what you want. We get them for 3 days (or 1 week if it is based on a real person). We have 2 days to pick them up. And there is a $2/day fine for every day it is overdue.

It was 32 degrees this morning when I met up with my hiking group.  After hiking, eating out for a late breakfast, and doing errands, it was in the 60's.

I don't remember how long it lasted & it wasn't until they re-opened that I began using the library on a regular basis. We still have reduced hours.  Awhile ago I read threats of possible closures again but haven't seen anymore on the subject.

During the stretch our Ashland library was closed many businesses set up book stations.  When I went to my hairdresser's I would leave a paperback & pick up a new one to read.

I always find it interesting how different that different libraries are...for instance, we have feature films, documentaries and TV series.  The TV series (which can have 10 discs or more) can be checked out for up to three weeks, and most feature films have a seven-day due date.  We also only have a 15¢/day fine.  Patrons can accrue up to $10 in fines and still not be blocked from checking out materials.  If, however, they go over $10, then they're cut off until they pay.

Beautiful building.  From the outside I prefer the original Carnegie library to the current library with the addition.  From the inside I prefer the addition.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

You mentioned awhile ago that you were thinking about getting representation again for acting....did you get a new agent?

I do have a new agent, but we haven't discussed the acting part yet - just the directing.

How far will you travel to see a show?

These days not far.  In the old days, far.
