As I have told you before my library files our requested items for people under a three-letter code based on their last name and a bit of their first name. This has brought up some obscene request slips like "ass" or "tit". It has brought up impressive ones too, like "god". But today I was filing a book that had a three-letter code I had, for whatever strange reason, never seen before.
It was, disturbingly, in a book called "Season of Fear". I have been watching a movie or two lately set around the Holocaust. The slip inside was yellow and said
JEW
I felt a strange taste of something I had never felt before.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
