The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library. – Albert Einstein The Library is off Limits Back in the day, while I was still kicking up my heals you wouldn’t find me dead with a library card.

It was tough for me to avoid run-ins with the local police back then, what with cruising around looking for girls, driving too fast and drinking. They tend to frown on those...
