Generally shitty (new GOP state legislature is swiftly moving state back 30-40 years), but in the 1 mile radius that I call "home", super !
So glad that for 1st time in years don't have to work any Mother's day or graduation events (but nonetheless will not leave house tomorrow 'til evening). Moms, grads, and associated families EVERYWHERE.

Erp, Mother's Day! I forgot to bring some Ma music. Oh well! I just got that EW&F LP with the mom song on it, too.

Maybe Capricorn failed due to lack of diversity? you have a good point.

Most of the new books I read are from the library. If, after I read it, I really need to have it, I'll buy it, but to me it's amazing I can read it for free. Yeah, libraries!

I should use the library. I buy books compulsively, yet am only able to read a small percentage of them.

Try a good used bookstore, preferably one run by volunteers connected to a library or hospital. Often people will donate a relatively new book after they read it. The prices are very reasonable.
