What's the odds

Since, both Krip and I are such avid readers, we decided it was about time we cruise down to the library, get a library card, and start checking out books from there instead of buying books all the time.

So yesterday, we piled into the car and fought the traffic to go down to do just that. We arrived at the library all giddy, expecting to be able to run rampid through all the shelves of glorious books, knowing that the only problem we would have would be deciding exactly which books we wanted to read in a 28 day period.

Right?

Wrong.

First question out of our mouths, when we arrived was:

"May we get a library card?"

"Oh, sorry. Not today, our computers are down."

Bummer.
