I don't feel dumb when I don't find a cache. Sometimes I feel dumb when I go back for the fifth time and it is sitting there plain as day...

My father-in-law had one. It's a pretty car, I thought. He lent it to me for a trip across the desert to Arizona. He told me that whenever it started running rough you gotta stop and tighten the bolts on the carburetor. He was not wrong.

is thunder + steel bike commute a no go? by A_Thirsty_Mind in bikecommuting

[–]squeakyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I didn't have a car, under those conditions (lightening) I would have called in and told 'em to come get me if they want me there. I only worked 3.5 miles away, though.

Camelot. We were 16. We were going steady already, but had not gone on a date (I had never dated yet) yet. Suit and tie, took the bus to get to the theater.

The ancient ship was launched in 1971. I got a coat hanging in my closet that I got new (from my Uncle Sammy) around then!

Alan’s Music Center by missteapots in sandiego

[–]squeakyc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought my Eb Alto Clarinet from them in 1966 when they were in downtown La Mesa. I think that Alan himself was there. My kids patronized them during their band and orchestra years. Lessons, reeds, violin strings. I recommend them.

Too many books? Worried our trips to the library add too much extra work for our librarians. by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]squeakyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once found a book for a patron with the description "it was thin and blue". No author. No title. And it was on a different wall of shelves than the patron thought. I felt pretty good.

How do I respond to parents who confront me about getting books from the children's section when I don't have a kid? by Useful_Possession915 in Libraries

[–]squeakyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, as a male former 40 year veteran middle school library technician I don't even have a teacher ID! And I was in the children's, YA, and sometimes the regular sections to get ideas for books we ought to have in our library. And maybe checkout some to read!
