I’ve read the Michelle McNamara book, and am actually listening to it again on Audible for book club. (I didn’t know there would be a test/discussion the first time around.)
I use Overdrive, but I have this neurotic need to read fast and return it for the next person. Going to airplane mode is very naughty. (I like it!) :)
I just finished The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd, fiction. I’m now reading a book of poetry called Atlantis, by Mark Doty. I’m gonna be reading the shit out of the new Stephen King. (Kill Creek is also intriguing.)
Those fools are talking about too many doors and exits. As a tweet I saw says, these going to rally around banning doors before assault rifles.

Sounds like you have caviar expectations. As long as you have a caviar budget, you will have no problems going to places that will cater to you. If you don’t have that fat wallet, then you best get used to being no more or less important than the other diners.
A server is busy, they’re often juggling several tables. They don’t have time to serve everyone, perhaps bus tables, and wait for the perfect unicorn of a moment to check in with you. Anyone who is relying on tips isn’t looking to piss you off, but they don’t have the luxury during a busy service of waiting around so…
Ebert had a life-long love of dogs, but could never bring himself to have one after the loss of a childhood pet. That’s so sad to me.
From what I remember, the show doesn’t hold up particularly well.
Arnold Horshack: You know, Horshack is a very old and respected name; it means “the cattle are dying.”
I see what you did there, Foxy.
You’ve heard of a sled dog, right? This is a sly dog, and I refuse to entertain any other thought.
