Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Viagra Boy And Back To Work

So Rafael Palmeiro has been suspended for using steroids.

I'm reminded of a famous line from the movie Gone With The Wind when Rhett Butler says to Scarlett, "You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but he's terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail."

I'm also reminded of my reaction to the news that Jason Giambi was a juicin' fool. Well duh. No wonder Palmeiro was so willing to endorse Viagra in a national ad campaign. Those 'roids effected more than his power hitting numbers me thinks.

There I go being snide again.

In library news, nothing blew up while I was in Reno last week. I always worry about that. Turns out nothing exciting happened outside of what has become "normal."

  • Patrons bitching about fines
  • Patrons with multiple cards
  • Our regular crack pot patrons who don't realize they are completely insane just being themselves.
I did come back to find that someone had abandoned an old couch back by our dumpster - but that's par for the course. I have one of those at least once a month.

In other news, Alyssa posted my picture over on her blog. And here I was hoping to fool people into thinking I actually looked like Barbara Gordon. Damn. But do go read Alyssa's blog because she's been doing a very nice recap of her RWA conference experience.
