"Columbia County, Washington is facing a possible closure of their only library because disagreements over a few books prompted a citizen to file a petition to dissolve the library. Voters will decide the library’s fate in November. This is one example of the possible results of censorship. Rather than have a library with books that offend some readers, they may have no library at all. When a library has something that offends everyone, it also has something that delights, supports, and represents everyone, too."

The machinery has begun to turn: this afternoon the publisher asked for my final draft of Annabelle & Thatch.

Yay!!

It talks about the importance of libraries and not banning books, and while not my library system there is a story of another library in danger.

Those f*ckers.

These six kittens are cute.

Not a word I would use, but yes they are.

I appreciate wanting books to be age appropriate before permitting unsupervised children to check them out. What is going on is simply crazy.

This has been a sad day: Natasha, the cat who owns my friends Richard and Sherri Newman, died and so did Bini the Bunny:

When we were at the coast we saw, for the first time, a Northern Harrier Hawk.

I just do not understand the mentality of "I disagree with something, so everyone else must bend to my will."

That is beautiful, DR Jane.

Hello, everyone.

Jane · « **Reply #164 on:** September 01, 2023, 05:10:45 PM »

While not as good as the photo, our view was still nice as the hawk flew past our window a few times.

Thank you. It was especially exciting for Keith to see a new bird.

Hi DR Jeanne.

And that George found his bracelet.

And that Vixmom’s car door lock was fixed.

All is right with the world.

Well, some parts of it anyway.

I started The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek last night. I had never heard of the blue people before, but I did know that many of the mountain people were very poor and quite isolated. The thirties were such a difficult time for so many.

Tacos - yum!!

Yesterday, Oprah, along with several others, donated $10 million ( total) to the people in Maui who lost their homes in the fires. FEMA is giving a one-time grant to each of the victims of $700. That won’t go very far. But the Maui People’s Fund, created with the $10 million, will give $1200/month to each adult. Very pleased to see this.

I forgot to go to Trader Joe's today. I wanted marinated artichoke hearts.

It is a good book. There is also a sequel, The Book Woman's Daughter.
