A man just came up to me at the front desk of my library. "I'm here to pick up an art kit for my wife." He said.
"What is the name?" I asked, as we keep them behind the desk in alphabetical order.
"Ruskin." He replied. "R-U-S-K-I-N"
I turned and walked the eight steps to where they sat on a counter in two rows. "Ruskin" by some luck of the draw was on the immediate front right , so I scooped it up in a single pivot and returned to hand it to him at the desk.
"What took you so long?" He asked drily.
"It was all the way in the front." I complained grimly.

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.
