Perhaps you, like most people, think it works by magic.<br /><br />No profession is secure in the current environment, but I was lucky to choose one that is very attuned to the digital age. Though it's true that those of you restricted to the use of public libraries aren't seeing much of the benefit. <br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-90262573743091991782013-03-12T21:12:40.382+00:002013-03-12T21:12:40.382+00:00Gasp!

It's been two days now.<br /><br />Found this on Wiki recently:<br /><br />On June 4th 1769, Aaron Swift wrote in his diary:<br /><br />"A lot o' folks loiks ta knack the Spinning Jenny. As a spinner moiself, oi knows a thing or two about spinning, an what surproises me is how good it actually is."<br /><br />It's not there any more, so I guess Jimbo must have invoked the "rapid delete procedure".<br /><br />If I send you some money, can I get an Idiotic Hat badge to wear? Or better still, an idiotic hat?<br />Zouk Delorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983226210415857258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-1525138729210681342013-03-12T17:25:52.121+00:002013-03-12T17:25:52.121+00:00. . . for, obviously.. . . for, obviously.Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-65136310604937963472013-03-12T17:25:21.752+00:002013-03-12T17:25:21.752+00:00Hear!
