It closed with: 'Most importantly, we want to encourage you to remain calm, and to stay focused on your retirement savings goals, investment time horizon, and proper portfolio diversification.'
Which I do plan on doing, but on the other hand it both amused and distressed me that my retirement folks are basically telling us 'don't panic'. I don't know about you, but I'm grabbing my towel just in case.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.

Did you remember your towel today?
I didn't actually, but I love the idea behind Towel Day, celebrated each May 25th in honour of Douglas Adams, creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of books. For more information, check out: Today is Towel Day. Don't forget your towel! And if you haven't read the books, please consider getting drawn into the best romp through the universe ever. And they're certainly worth a re-read if, like me, you haven't picked them up in awhile. In the meantime, be sure to grab your towel. You never know when your home planet will be destroyed by aliens reading bad poetry.

A future library I'd probably love to visit
Via Jenny--The Shifted Librarian's Ou Est La Doctor Who Bibliotheque?
The next Doctor Who episode is called 'Silence in the Library' and is set, predictably, in said establishment. According to Wikipedia:
Also from Jenny at the Shifted Librarian:
Citricon: Library Defender, a game from the Orange County Library System (in Florida).
The next Doctor Who episode is called 'Silence in the Library' and is set, predictably, in said establishment. According to Wikipedia:
As shown on the BBC Doctor Who website, there are a number of books in the library that reference previous episodes. Those seen are the operating manual for the TARDIS (a document which the Doctor has long since lost), Origins of the Universe (Destiny of the Daleks), The French Revolution (An Unearthly Child) the Journal of Impossible Things ("Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood"), The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (written by Douglas Adams, former Doctor Who writer and script editor), and Black Orchid (a book first seen in the Fifth Doctor serial of the same name).
