Notes from the Reference Desk
The U.S. Postal Service will offer stamps with comic book heroes and comic book covers this summer! Click here for the full list; the description of the comics stamps is most of the way down.
Attention, Library Patrons: We are allowed to make snide little remarks about you, in the back room. Youare NOT to sidle up to the ref desk, wearing too much aftershave, may I say, cock your head so as to indicate the patron at the children's desk, and ask, "Aren't those shorts banned by anti-obscenity laws?" It is a double standard: live with it.

Reading: getting to the end of Stranger in a Strange Land: is the end going to disappoint me? Started this month's book club book, The Stone Diaries.
Capital City weather: cooling down from the 80s we've been enjoying; windy

So... these 'shorts'... Have ya got a picture? [leer, wink]
P-Max loves warm weather.
The shorts were worn by an oldish man; no pictures available.
Ewwwww! THAT kind of illegal shorts.... P-Max soooo misinterpreted that. P-Max is going back to his preevious visual conception of the scene.
I will continue to wear shorts all year long until the hair on my legs goes grey. At that point, I will give up my crown as Cute Li'l Aging Fratboy. However, if I ever make remarks regarding patrons at the childrens' desk, please kill me.
Creepy bit of personal history: When I was a sweet li'l high school kid, I worked for the county library. And yes, then as now, I wore shorts all year 'round. And some old creep, one day, followed me around the stacks as I reshelved books. He kept up a pretense at conversation and finally made an attempt to...er, grab certain parts that were not meant to be grabbed without an invitation. I told him that if he had a house in Guilford, he could grab away but otherwise he'd better haul it or I'd call the cops...
Mercenary little critter, ain't I?
