Lip Synch-ing on the Subway

I'm not always sure why some things strike me as funny. This video shot on an Atlanta MARTA train does! Worth a watch to the end to see the I-don't-miss-a-beat interruption.

DeKalb County Efficiency at Work Once Again

Evidently someone at the library is trying to justify their position and prove relevancy. I received a "bill" from the Patron Services Department at the Dekalb Library Processing Center (who knew libraries were so complex?) stating that I owned $6 in overdue fines. Keep in mind that all books had been returned.

Just so you'll know, Mooncake got hidden under the couch and it took a while to uncover it.

The postage for this library bill cost $0.335. Adding printing, paper, and who knows what kind of salary/administrative overhead probably took the cost of generating and mailing this bill close to the amount I actually owe them.

Funny thing is, I can walk into a library and check out a book without paying this, yet they're spending money to try to collect it.

You'd think that I had checked out the Rosetta Stone and failed to return it or something.
