We are doing some work in the kitchen this year, and are waiting...and waiting...for everything to finally be available (including the labor) sometime in early December. The supply chain is well and truly a mess these days.<br /><br />I found the library fines elimination article interest. Our system was charging ten cents per day per book pre-COVID and I'm not sure if they gone back to charging even that much yet. Since I live within 3 miles of the library and never check out more than three or four books on the same day (even though I usually have at least a dozen of them at home on any given day), the fines were never enough to act as any kind of determent. I like the idea of forgetting about those fines.<br /><br />The other link that had me saying "yes" was the one on the sameness of book covers. The illustration they use is exactly the cover, and its variations, that irritate me the most, in fact.

It makes all the difference, especially for an aging person.<br /><br />So glad to see that news about the statue in Mexico City. And I know what it's like to "grow up steeped in Jewishness." I often use Yiddish words because my mother often did so with us. But I surprise people when I use such words as my name is entirely Irish. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the links. I'll return to read them all.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.com
