Library People

A half-toothed, half-bald, half-dead man sat across from me at the library. He had three bags with him, from which he pulled out a laptop, keyboard, 20 inch LCD monitor, mouse, surge protector, USB hub, and an external hard drive wrapped in plastic.  It took him ten minutes to set up.  Thankfully, he didn't have one of the old cathode ray monitors that weighed forty pounds.  He would have needed an extra bag.

  1. That old man is going to be you some day!! You'll pull out an iPhone on the adult daycare bus.

  2. Perhaps. But I could also be the hip one in the leather pants and mesh shirt.
