Good day all. I would to start today off by wishing a very Happy Birthday to Yervan who is in the desert somewhere. Don’t worry, they have the innernet there. Be sure to wish him one as well.

As far as new stuff goes, there’s a new XKCD and Sweetbread has written a new post.

Last night, I got an email from Curly Bill and he was quite distressed. As it turns out, there’s a little teeny tiny snuggly baby cat hanging around outside their house and he’s looking for it a good home. They just took in another cat, or else they would adopt it. If anybody has got room for a baby cat, even temporarily, let me know as soon as possible. If you can take it for a little while, the local Humane Society offers a fostering program, the very one Pancake Land and I participate in, which would allow you to “surrender” the kitten to them as a found animal and then foster it out to you. The program will cover the animal’s shots and if it gets sick, all you have to cover is the cost of food and litter. It really is a good program. Anyways, let me know.

I bet you are wondering about the title of today’s post. Well, let me explain. I’ll have to approach this delicately in order to not give the whole world any ideas. Okay so, yesterday I was helping… a friend move some of their stuff to their new house. Once we got to the new house they realized that they had left their bag at the their old house. The bag with their keys in it. The keys to the new house. While… my friend went to talk to their neighbor about watching their cat while we went back to get the keys, I used my 80’s brain and broke into the house. I stood there looking at the door knob for a while and then I took out my wallet, found my most flexible card, and slipped it in between the door and the jamb. Voila! House unlocked. This is the part that I thought was the most awesome and which completed the overall feel that I was in an 80’s sitcom, I used my library card. It is thin and pliant, yet rigid enough to open doors. When my librarian told me that my library card was a key that could unlock worlds of imagination, I never expected it could open actual doors as well. I can just see my television character saying something witty about the power of knowledge unlocking worlds or something and looking right into the camera and telling the kids at home to use their local libraries because they are a vast and useful resource. When I told my friend and their neighbor that I had gotten into the house using my library card they both looked a little shocked and amazed. That is when I asked if neither of them had ever seen Moonlighting. I have a vague memory of learning the card trick from there. Or was it Murder She Wrote. Can’t remember.

Anywho, I’ve got to get to work. Le Duke is back and it is time to get these damned fish plates outta here. More soon. ~SC
