Yesterday I went to the library. I love public libraries. I have cards in six local cities, Hawaii, Kansas City and I am looking at getting one where my kids live. They open up worlds. To give you an idea of how I feel, the only tax I can remember thinking as a possibility was one for libraries. Fortunately I did not live in the city voting on it or I might have compromised my stand.
They were having a used book sale. Fifty cents for anything on the tables. I think there were five tables and I managed to limit myself to seven books. If my wife would give me more shelf space I am sure I could fill it quickly.
What I want to alert you to is that there were copies of President Obama’s Audacity of Hope available for only 50 cents. I think I saw three copies. Personally I think the price was still too high, just like the price of his presidency, but if you are on the lookout for a copy, you have your chance. I am waiting for them to pay me to take one home. I don’t want much, just enough to pay back tax payers all the money he has been giving to his friends.
I am not going to hold my breath.

Well, Pumice, my mother-in-law used say, "Live in hope if you die in despair!"
ReplyDeleteI assume she does not want me to pick up one of the books for her. I assume the same for you.
