More Reading

In the Washington Post: as part of the music distributors price-fixing settlement, libraries got tons of random CDs dumped on them. The librians quoted (including BH's "buddy" at Maryland's music library) don't quite spell out the fact that deciding what to keep, cataloging them, and bar coding etc., takes time -- and time = money.

Via boingboing: one of the (I can only assume there's more than one!) companies that sells disguised cell phone towers here -- including the one at Mount Vernon.

We tried to find documentation of the Mexican Fan Cactus being planted by GW at Mount Vernon but were unsuccessful. The big ole pine tree will have to do.

thanks for finding good stuff!
