Librarians, heads up: there’s a guy calling libraries all over the US for English-Mandarin or Mandarin-English translations. He demands hours of librarian time, he becomes abusive, and he records these calls without permission. Might want to make a plan for dealing with him in case he calls you!
Dear mail-in voters,
If your state's return deadline is Election Day (Nov. 5), the U.S. Postal Service recommends that you mail your ballot by Tuesday (Oct. 29).
Sincerely,

Obituary from the central maine newspaper: GLENBURN – Florence “Flo” Harrelson, 65, formerly of Chelsea, died on Feb. 22, 2024, without family by her side due to burnt bridges and a wake of destruction left in her path. Florence did not want an obituary or anyone including family to know she died. That’s because even in death, she wanted those she terrorized to still be living in fear looking over their shoulders. So, this isn’t so much an obituary but more of a public service announcement.
Well that certainly is an obituary

It's going to be 87° here today, so I'm starting the workday by watching The Meg, a movie I've probably seen about 50 times. It's my official Start of Summer Movie.

An adorable black haired young actress with scissors preparing to cut up the text of a letter and recombine the phrases.
We watched "Amélie" last night again and confirmed it's one of my top 10 movies of all time, brimming with subversive imagination from the first shot. This time two things hit different: 1) The subtext is #neurodiversity 2) It depicts a world before the resurgence of global Fascism. Wonderful film!

Two signs on the beach: Stop! No entry beyond this sign! and All Areas Closed Beyond This Sign.
Not much of a beach day, but we went to try to find sea glass churned up by the high tide. Usually we find around 40 or so pieces, but today only 1.
