If you use Libby, and use the option to notify you if certain books become available, continue reading.

I had five books under the "Smart Tag: Notify Me" if the library gets the book.

I check my Libby wish list all the time to see if there is a book I want to read or add to my holds list.  Today I decided to see if there was a book in my notify books list that I might want to purchase for our trip.

Finding a book from a popular author, and one I would have wanted to read for the trip, still wasn't available I searched the title again in Libby before purchasing it elsewhere.  To my surprise it was there and I could put a hold on it, which I did.

This morning I walked 2.5 miles to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and asked if the updated covid shots were available yet. I was surprised to get a "Yes" answer.

So I got the shot, walked  home, then drove back to the pharmacy with my immunization card for the pharmacist to sign.

Next week I'll get the flu shot. Then I'll be all caught up.

Wow, lucky you.  Did you get Pfizer or Moderna?

That's great, DR Laura! My appointment is in about a week. On Yom Kippur, actually.

Our pharmacy we had to book the covid shots separately as they want to coordinate the covid shots to do one group per vial.  They also have Moderna vs Pfizer and we want Pfizer.  I need to make an appointment elsewhere for when we return.

I found the notifications setting on my Libby account and changed the setting for those tagged books.  Hopefully this won't happen again.

BK, are you subscribed to the CASTRECL list? There's an inquiry about a Kritzerland order there.

I love my new  air conditioner. The crew arrived about noon and left around 12:45. I am very pleased.

DR CHAS SMITH the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your fragments of dreams indicate that although you enjoyed your time in California, that time seemed to coincide with a drought in your creativity - and that it may also have been the time that you decided firmly to be a leader in your field as opposed to being a follower.

I am going to do something tomorrow that I have never done in my life......similar to something I did in the last century - but certainly not since then....and specifically not at all.

I shall have a full report at the conclusion.

I spent some time yesterday thinking about the A & T audiobook. Rather than have someone read it, I'd prefer to do it as a radio drama with a cast of actors since so much of it is dialogue. I've had some casting thoughts, but I'm keeping mum since I have no idea what the publisher is thinking.

Hopefully, they'll like your idea, Larry!
