Those Crazy Librarians!

I totally stole this from my friend MJ. It's nice having extremely generous friends that work at high end adventure/outdoor gear outfitters that starts with a P headquarters. She sent me a bomber jacket that I can do some, as she put it, "serious backcountry (tundra, not alpine) sh** " in. Like walking to the mailbox in January!

Nov 8 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Wis. - Librarians shook out their buns and dusted off their dancing shoes to compete in the Wisconsin Book Cart Drill Team competition. The Baraboo Bookers took first prize Friday at the Wisconsin Library Association's annual conference. Teams of librarians created short choreographed dances and rocked out with their book carts. The Baraboo Public Library team danced to the rock 'n' roll classic "Born to be Wild" with four carts and a dolly. They competed against the Mad City truckers, graduate students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison who used an Indiana Jones-themed routine. The Baraboo team advances to the national competition in Chicago next summer and also gets a $250 gift certificate.

And if anyone wonders why it is that the younger generation favors electronic media over, above, and beyond books and paper - this video should immediately quench such wonderings...

See, now I thought it was hilarious. Bad, but hilarious. So I have an infantile sense of humor.

We share a sense of humor, Annie. Guess that's why we're friends! And glad the jacket will get you to the mailbox and back during a Minnesota winter.
