Last night at the General Government committee meeting, another topic brought up by Jodi Reng, library director for the Timberland system, was the possibility of placing a couple of library service kiosks around town. That would take pressure off of the downtown branch.
» My initial thought would be to put kiosks in the two high schools in Olympia. Both are far enough from the downtown library to provide geographic diversity, and as you'll read below, I think there is something awfully cool about libraries and schools coming together. Kiosks are basicaly mini-libraries that have been succesfully used throughout the system in non-library settings:

I've been prostrate from the heat as of late and therefore I may come out as an ass, but my wife and I were down at the -- now more apropriately named than ever -- SLoP last night so she could ride her bike. The front part of the lake facing 5th was among the most egregiously human-fouled bunch of muck I've seen since I left Cal&^#%)@nia.
» I lost track of Anna's post about a post-fair cleanup (hence my potential ass-like highjacking of her idea. Sorry Anna, the heat makes me stupider than usual), but I and trashbags will be down at the lake tomorrow afternoon, if not sooner. I'm totally open to ideas for a time, however. There was huge amounts of trash from the steps leading to the water on the east all the way to the mound by the spillway on the north. Maybe I'm a day late and a dollar short, but that's what I'm planning to do tomorrow. I'm also going to try and devise something that I can throw out in to the water to get the floating stuff that I can't reach from the wall. Caimans be damned! ^ ^ »º«

DUBLIN (Reuters) - An Irish army officer in south Lebanon warned Israel six times that air strikes threatened the lives of U.N. observers there before four staff were killed in a direct hit, Ireland's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

Funny that my first blog entry up here ends up being a lost and found notice... Anyway I found these on the corner of 5th and Cherry laid out on the sidewalk last Tuesday (7/18) afternoon. Being a musician I know someone should be missing this stuff. If you know whose this might be drop a line... I'd be happy to get this back to the rightful owner even though the tunes are right down my alley. Dave

BAGnewsNotes is a "progressive blog dedicated to the discussion and analysis of news images". Fascinating stuff.
» I'm especially struck by the entries A Touching Man and A Touching Man, Part 2. Read through them, you will see what I mean, and participation on the blog is encouraged. Then read this from ChronicBabe.com: The Question of the Day: May I Touch You? I know, I know, seems like an unusually big leap from a Prez who apparently cannot keep his hands to himself to the vent of an individual everyday citizen, but my post-overheated mind finds the connection. Ask first. What if everyone, from our Prez to the over-zealous and rude masseuse, asked first? Maybe if we all kept our hands off until we asked and got true permission, we would also then know when it is time for all hands on deck.
