Musings on anything.

BCOF Insignia

My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one.

         I am in the library again, until I find a new ISP for my area that I can afford. We don't have fiber optics yet, and the one I've had cut me off when I had the land line removed. It was terrible service anyway> I can accomplish in less than 2 hour what it used to take 4 or 5 hours to do with all the crashing and outages.

         I can tolerate the noise of children. The library is a great place for them. My mother used to walk us to the library when we were young, and it was a thrill to get new books. I don't like the adults who carry on conversations at full volume. There is a lady behind me who even has her phone on speaker. She's broadcasting her phone numbers and passwords loudly to everyone in the big room. She has no idea how disruptive she is or that her privacy is gone. A librarian is helping her, in a softer but audible voice.

         Whatever happened to whispering? We used to be afraid to talk out loud, much less give personal info. My college library, full of young people, was never this noisy. We never had to listen to anyone's financial transactions with her banker.

         Oh no! I heard her say "Calling you back. . ." Hopefully, I won't be here. She did tell the banker that she was old enough to be the grandmother of the person helping her. Maybe they're excusing her because of age. But rude is rude. And only scammers want your personal data.

          Now, someone is playing music!

         Ssh!
