I have been watching the Chris Beat Cancer modules. He has one free each day for ten days. I sent an email to AJ with today’s link, AJ. It has to be watched today. He is doing one free module per day for ten days.
Morning all! Early bird got the worm eh? Morning Kevin!!
Last warmish day to be had before snow heads in tomorrow afternoon…I will be having a rescheduled lunch with my friend tomorrow before the snow hits! Snow..every weekend around here!
Son is enjoying his new job at the Lewiston library. That is good. It requires husband to drive the hour plus to Lewiston, hang out in town for three or four hours, then drive him home. And so he does. The library folk told son he is the best worker they have. He is happy.
They like son so much, they have offered him a paying job (thirteen dollars an hour). They like his pleasant personality, his helpfulness, and his work ethic. And he loves libraries.
I worked a summer in the county library after my freshman year of college. I loved it.
I am still involved with a church library. I may soon have more duties there.
When we homeschooled we practically lived in the county libraries. My friend, K, said they never checked out many books at a time until they met us. Wes would get twenty or so at a time. The library seemed to have no limit. We certainly got our tax dollars back from the librsry system.
One of the young stringers in the field told me today he liked my Jeep (I got lassoed into covering a breaking news story when a CNG truck blew up in the harbor, sadly sending 9 firefighters to the hospital — met up with one of our regular college freelance photographers and the independent stringer was someone he works with sometimes).
Anyway, we had to race from the scene to the county hospital for a news conference where there was no parking and that’s where the stringer asked me if I liked my Jeep, he thought it was “nice.” 🙂 Told him it was OK but I so loved my old Jeep Liberty it replaced that it’s been hard to wrap my arms fully around it.
Pray for these firefighters – especially one who had to be air-lifted to the LA burn unit. The others appear to be stable and should be OK. Takes a special breed to do those jobs. God bless them.
My former office mate (camp site manager) became a full-time firefighter. He loves the job. He was a great young man to have in the office. I often pray for him when I hear of fires in the bigger city where he works. ( I called him my work son)
DJ, he can do math. He will be filing books. He does not know the alphabet. I tried when he was young and over the years. But he saw no value in it because he reads quite well. Now, maybe he will learn. Because he reads so well, I doubt they have a clue about the missing piece. Interestingly, none of his siblings could master the alphabet, though his younger sister almost has it.
So strange to me–not to be able to master the alphabet and yet read well.
I wish I would have thought about a library career way back when. I think I would have liked that.
I was the librarian in a couple of different churches. One was a part of an association of church libraries. It was an area where I could put my donation to the church, since I refused to support things, the church supported. I could also put books in that I believed were good. An associate pastor tried to approve the books, but he could not keep up and gave up. Needless to say, we left that church. It makes me sad to think of so many good books never being read, which seemed to be the case most of the time.
It makes me sad to see so much garbage books in the libraries these days. Being on a librarian committee can sometimes help in that regard.
Libraries can be such a blessing to so many, however.

I have a friend who’s a retired librarian, sounded like it was a wonderful career for those with the calling.
Good morning, my Jeep now likes to sleep in for a few days at a time so I couldn’t beat Kevin.

I think library work would be fulfilling. But isn’t there math involved?
