TGIF

Quiet day today...rainy. cool...

Just the kind of rain Cathy says is good for her garden, but it's wet enough and cool enough (high 50s) to keep me off my bike.

Went to the library. My, but books are getting shorter! Maybe it's just the crime/mystery/adventure stuff I read, but it took 8 books to fill my bookbag where it usually takes only 5!

And the library has a new self-checkout system. Librarian said it was installed on the initiative of the county board of freeholders! He didn't say whether he thought it would affect job security. The system is not bad. It does ask for a PIN even though the librarian-operated system does not. Wonder if they are afraid that someone with a stolen library card will check out too many books?

A resident of this community asked me today if I thought that the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) would likely deny an installation of solar panels! The ones he's looking at are sold at Home Depot in NJ, PA and NY, so they must be practical. But they are huge and pretty ugly; they don't blend in with the roof at all.

Tonight is our bowling league banquet. The restaurant is supposed to be good. Last year, they had an unlimited open bar and spent way more than they had anticipated! The organizers had to beg for donations to make up for their mistake. Hah! This year, the wird "bar" does not appear in the announcement. :-)
