And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Question for the (especially librarian) hivemind:

Is mold on books a lost cause? As I packed up my complete Agatha Christie collection I realized that the ones on the bottom shelf in the back had a bit of mold on the fake-leather cover. The paper inside seems fine. It took me forever to accumulate these as a teenager and I'd hate to lose them. Advice?

I'm moving, so the damp/mold environment that apparently exists in my current bedroom should not be a problem anymore.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In Madison there was a Christian whole-grain bakery (don't know if they still exist). There was a boycott against them because they had used their bread delivery vans to blockade abortion clinics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The cereal has part of the verse on the front:

" Take also unto thee wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt and put them into one vessel and make bread of it. "

Turns out they also make bread.

megan, I seem to remember something about a weak bleach solution for mold on books. hmmm . . .

eta: turns out I was wrong, but I found this on removing mold, from the UVA library, so it's legit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I noticed religious cereal yesterday. Ezekiel (let me google for the correct reference)...Ezekiel 4:9 cereal.

They make tortillas too. Whole Foods sells them, at least down here.

Thrive to spite them

There's religious milk. I forget the brand but it's hormone free and (I think organic) and they sell it in glass bottles. You can't really tell it's religious except for the Bible verse at the bottom.

And, thank goodness, I have made a haircut appointment for Friday at a reasonably-priced, reasonably hip, reasonably convenient, new place.
