Field Report from Rural Michigan...

My mom and dad drove over for a visit this weekend. Chris and I took them to the Syracuse Zoo (it was a zoo at the zoo, tourists everywhere) and bumped around Ithaca for a few days. We got up early to hear Bill Clinton address the graduating class. God, what a fantastic speaker that man is. Unlike some occupants of the White House I might mention.

My mom, the rural library director, reported yesterday that small Michigan libraries are in deep euphemism as a result of across-the-board state budget cuts. If George Bush's stupid deficit makes my mom's library close, I'm going to be one very irate informationist. Wait. I already am an irate informationist.
