1. Local library said

They were going to distribute the eclipse glasses the day of / day before the eclipse. That didn't sound like enough lead time, so I bought a few pairs from one of the many web sellers.

3. We still have libraries??

5. We do. When did you visit yours last?

It's important to actually use the libraries. They keep records of such things, which they use when trying to continue to get funding.

Get a library card, check out materials. Use your local library or it will disappear.

7. Apparently I should have used the sarcasm smilie.

Of course I know we still have libraries, but given the current GOP agenda they might not be funded very well.

9. Nah, I figured you were being sarcastic lol.

Not sure how many GOPers know we have them, sadly.
