They did release it on Blu-ray and DVD, so libraries should have it.

I miss the libraries...

I fortunately still have my online library access.

Oh, we have that, too, but I miss books and the programming and meeting rooms that are used frequently by groups I’m part of.

By the way - Happy National Library Week!

And to you, too!

That's really cool, Laura!

George, when you check out an ebook from the library, is there any way to renew it?

You can set your check-out period to be 7 days, 14 days, or 21 days.  I don't know if you can actually renew something, or just place another hold and wait for the other patrons to get through it or check it out again if there are no holds.  I've never gotten to that point, so I don't know.

See my next post....

Tom, I just checked and here's the OverDrive Help section.  There's a link specifically on renewing e-books:

John G., have you seen this chef on youtube? She's one of my favorites.

One of my favorite YouTube chefs is the Preppy Kitchen.

We watched The China Syndrome last night.  Neither of us had ever seen it.

I saw that in the theatre.  I was on a date.  When we got back to his car he turned on the radio and there was a special news announcement about the accident at Three Mike Island.  We just sat there in the parking lot listening to the radio, scared to death.

Wow...talk about a coincidence!

[George]

Thank you all for commiserating. I'm pretty sure there won't be more problems.  My neighbor is a recently divorced man.His 23 year old son and his girlfriend live in the basement.  He has a college age daughter as well.  The girlfriend's car was the one I hit.  I'm thinking this was the daughter home to wash clothes.  Apparently the point was made.   The dad is very understanding.  He says he keeps telling them by they don't listen.   That's believable

Well, that's good.  It's nice to have understanding people when dealing with issues.

[George]

I'll have a fun announcement in tomorrow's notes.

Ooo...can't wait to find out what it is!

[George]

Gratuitous Post #222!

It'll be an adventure!

An interesting one.  Good luck.

Thanks, Jane!  I'm gonna need it!

I ordered a new camera tonight. One of my friends takes insanely good photos.. He told me what camera he uses and I decided to splurge. If I've learned anything this year it's that you can't keep putting off things you really want and I've always wanted a camera with an incredible zoom.. It's a Nikon Coolpix P 1000. The zoom is so powerful you csn take great photos of the craters on the moon!

Nice!  Last year (I think), I'd read about a zoom lens that was that powerful, and at the time it was the most powerful optical zoom lens available at a reasonable price.  The video and examples that the article (ad?) shared were incredible!

Some of these picketers in Olympia this afternoon protesting the Coronavirus closures really pissed me off.

Only some of them bothered to wear masks or observe social distancing.

I know!  Talk about effing idiots!

[George]

We are robbed of our constitutional rights!  Horse shit!

Exactly!

[George]

Oh, and I got an email from Nicky’s former vet (about 12 weeks and counting) reminding me that Nicky is overdue for a checkup.

Several months after my previous cat Ebonie died, I got an e-mail about renewing her license. I had to let them know why I wasn't renewing.

TCB, those picketers are part of a very well organized right-wing fringe group and they're probably being paid to be there.  This was a coordinated thing, make no mistake about it.
