Well today not only is Memorial Day, or at least the day that people get off for Memorial Day, but more importantly it is Towel Day! Thanks to reading dysprositos page (here) about Towel Day, I remembered about it. Sadly however I did not participate in Towel Day events, or having the traditional Towel in tow where ever I went. Instead I helped move a good thousand or two of books at the Cornelius Library. That was what I did for most of the day, the rest I was sleeping for. Anyways now I am back home and have a cat to entertain who decided my bed was where to be, since I was on it too.
Everyone enjoy the rest of your Towel Day/Memorial day, no I do not pair those two though.

Even if you do think it's a unit of time, you're still going to look it up to see how long a unit it is, so you don't do something ridiculous like have an ordinary human do something in 15 centuries. (Speedy!) Presumably, once you've looked it up, you'll find that it's a unit of distance. *sigh*)
Moving lots of books for the betterment of our public library system is a perfectly good way to celebrate the life and times of Douglas Adams. ;)

(Mind you this was about four months ago.)

Making bookshelves look pretty is one of the great joys in life.
