Oh noes! I got mentioned in Flayrah. Does that mean I really am a furry, with all that it entails? Well, it's incidental. But ROAR is available on Amazon now, and so is Ben's impressive novel, White Crusade.
Hot weather here. I nearly lost it this morning dealing with some jerk on the telephone. He called the library to bitch at us because we weren't open and he wanted to make a photocopy. He insisted that we used to be open on Thursday morning (we haven't, at least not in the past 20+ years that my boss has been director) and that we just decided to close to inconvenience him. I tried to explain that we had no staff to be open, no money for staff for those hours, and that the equipment was all turned off so I couldn't just let him in "to make one little copy." He grew even more belligerent and asked for my name so he could "report me to my supervisor." I told him to hold on and he could talk to the director, as she was standing right there. Of course he immediately hung up.
Workers were installing an automated door for the handicapped this morning at the front of the library. We used to have a bell to be rung for assistance, but it only got legitimately used about twice a year. It would, however, be rung a couple dozen times every day by kids who never learned that we would yell at them for doing it as soon as they came in the door. So now they will play with the button to make the door open again and again. I guarantee it, and it will let out the air conditioning in summer and let in the cold winds in winter.
It's hot. Everybody is wilted. Even I did some sweating while doing chores outside, in between swatting infernal mosquitoes. One of the horses has a persistent cough, which isn't good. He's had it before, and the vet says it's an allergy. It comes on at this time every year. She prescribed an antihistamine to be added to his food, which has helped in the past, but doesn't seem to be working this time. I think he missed this problem the last two summers because they were so dry, though. This year it's hot and humid.
Time to make supper for pooches, and something for myself. Then back to work at the loom or spinning wheel...
