WorldCat.org WorldCat.org is a global catalog of library materials. You can search for books, music, video, articles and much more at libraries near you.

I couldn't resist putting my retired librarian hat on and searched WorldCat (search.worldcat.org). Both books are available from university libraries. Your public library can request them for you through interlibrary loan.

Hi It's me - the crazy neighbor who gets up at 6:30 (in the morning!) just to take pictures of trees in the fog. I'm going back to bed now.

It’s $5 Friday!
We are raising funds for puppy Bear!
Bear’s been at the vet for 6 weeks.
He had two ER visits and many diagnostic tests after having 3 seizures.
He’s doing better tho!
If you’d like to help Bear, we thank you!

An already overwhelmed Rescue Coop is having a big week! Someone had to save these puppies, so here they are. 🥹 Even passing this on for them can be helpful. Their online friends do amazing things, so the Coop can step up, when no one else is there. 👏

Oh good - I'm not the only one. Today has been weird.

An extremely large inflatable reindeer stands in the snow in front of a two-story house. It's taller than the house.

So it looks like the 8 inches of snow yesterday brought a giant reindeer to the neighborhood and migrating Sandhill Cranes today. I saw 5 large groups while I was out shoveling more of the driveway.

Is it north or south Michigan?
