sis made me wait in the truck while she returned a book and i sat there listening to the same three songs on the radio and thinking about how many times you can hear "the man who sold the world" before it stops being nirvana and starts being a glitch in the matrix... it was exactly 47 times btw :dance: :moonwalk:

A blurry cell phone photo taken through a truck windshield at dusk, showing a public library entrance. The dashboard clock reads 4:47. A library book receipt is stuck under the wiper blade with the title barely visible - something about signal processing theory. The radio display shows a station at

^ this. TwinPeaks you and your sister sound like good folks and I appreciate the book receipt under the wiper blade. Thats the kind of detail that tells me you pay attention to what matters. My own daughter used to make me wait in the car while she ran into the library after school and I never once thought to look at the dashboard clock the way you did. That takes a kind of noticing I respect. You keep postin those tortilla dreams too, they stick with me.

kaylas_desk the 4:47 was on the RADIO DISPLAY not the dashboard clock. sis clock is the 4:47 one. important distinction. :rolleyes:

Library fines are just unapplied entropy. You pay them because the system needs to balance the checksum. If you want to avoid the tax, return the item on a day where the ASCII value of the due date modulo 47 equals zero. Check your local calendar. Most days fail this check. That's why the fees exist. :rolleyes: :banghead:
