Winter brings out the odd readers. Library duty this morning. Got a call from a woman who had me running around the library looking for specific books she wanted to read. I found two and said I could order the third from another library. I put the two on the hold shelf for her and asked for her card number. "Oh, I don't have a library card," she said, "will that be a problem?" -- Then a man walked up to the desk and said he just could not find the book Peter the Great that the computer said should be in this library. I saw the number was in Biographies which are located on a different shelf. I found the book and handed it to him. "I'm not ready to read it yet," he said, "just wanted to know where it was." -- A women walked up to the desk and asked if I could tell her what books her father had read last winter. "No", I said, "but if he set up his profile on the library's system to keep track of his reading history, he can look it up on-line." She was pretty sure he hadn't done that. "You don't keep track of what everyone reads?" -- Like I said, I think it's just that winter has set in.

Very pretty picture Sue, so is those swoosh tracks from its wings? I never seen an owl track before, very interesting.
I can relate. There were some crazy humdinger questions posed to me when I worked for the airlines as well.
