As ever, the strange, marvelous, broken, and mostly unvisited Life is a Fountain is...

I'd advise against it. It's haunted.

No. That's not reverse psychology.

Anyway, to today's program:

What do all these pictures have in common?

Yes, newsletter subscribers, you are getting two emails today along the theme: What do all these pictures have in common? One is from the Life is a Fountain Newsletter, and one is from here, the Clerkmanifesto blog posting.

It's a lot of pictures, all of people in the library, mostly at the front desk. It's of a pretty regular day at the library. Except for...

Well, that's the puzzle.

And it is a very easy puzzle. So easy, in fact, that it's not really a puzzle.

Let's maybe call it a tribute.

Or maybe this is what happens when I don't have Dan to pose for me.

This is the plain version, the more unadorned approach that I am calling the "Nanu Nanu" pictures. They don't have any filter effects or editing, beyond the first complicated edits.

In your Life is a Fountain Newsletter you will be getting the "Shazbot" version, which has all kinds of filters and edits.

If somehow you happened upon all of this without being a subscriber, well, how odd. You are in for a reckoning with the nature of the World.

So lucky you!

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.

Not so entertaining sort of legal exclaimer that seems wise to post if you think about it

I in no way speak on behalf of or in any way for the Library I work for, though if they would like me to I am sure we can come to an agreement.
My blog is not written or worked on during paid time and if it ever appears to be that is only for narrative umph and to reflect on my thought processes and experience as things happened.
Things here are fictionalized and obscured sometimes, and though I stand behind my portrayl of the spirit and feel of things it would be wrong to ascribe too much to a specific Library, event, or person.
