The thing that most bewilders our library patrons these days is our puzzle exchange. We usually have two or three dozen fairly nice puzzles on a display and on a table, with a sign saying something like
"Puzzle:
Extra puzzles at home? Bring them in. Want a puzzle? Take one home."
This is enough to drive library patrons straight to me at the front desk for more information.
"So how does this puzzle exchange work?" They ask, confused.
"It is sheer, unbridled anarchy." I answer. "It is like the end of the world has come and there is nothing but stacks of puzzles. You can do whatever you want with those puzzles and no one will stop you."
"Oh." They say.
And they usually walk out with a puzzle.

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.
