PA announcement at the liberry:
“Would the patron looking for a video on how to write a book please return the Special Services desk on the second floor…”

People you meet along the way.

A lady came up to me at work asking about the right food to eat to get rid of gout. Her sister has it in her feet. Her sister has had everything go wrong. But this lady is 75, apparently, and has nothing wrong at all. She could beat up any man, she says. I also learn that she hates pretty much all men. This is because she was married to a Greek man who slashed her hand with a butcher’s knife and pointed a shotgun at her back and had pretty nasty friends. She left him when she was 33. Stay single, she says, stay single. I tell her they’re not all like that, and she looks at me like I’m speaking a foreign language.

Letters to Lippy - by shmerica

Welcome all to my new grab-bag of a blog.

It will contain anything I fancy; bits of my own writing, news articles I find, weird things that happen at work (a public 'liberry' is always full of weird), etc. etc. and so forth.

Hope you enjoy, but if you do not, that is ok too.
