Why I love working at the library. Well, 90% of the love is the internet. But sometimes I come across interesting things.
We have a world language center, where people who don't speak English has stuff to read and who want to learn another language can use the computers for that. We have mags in different languages. I've seen a Newsweek Espanol which someone and blackend out the teeth and put a mustache on Hillary Clinton (which I have yet noticed on the regular Newsweek.
We have an issue of Stern that makes me laugh. There's a Hollandaise (sp) woman with that white hat with wings, and she has braided pigtails with blue, white and red ribbon, and she has freakles, and she's smoking a joint. And I guess it's a "typical" Holland dress she has on, and she's stradeling a bicycle. And She has two soccor (footballs) busting out of her top. It's a thing of wimsy (because goodness knows US publications won't have that).
Then I was looking for obituaries in the local paper for a patron. I find an art. from June 23, 1965 of this couples nephew finding them in pieces in their 'fridge. The son, of course, is someone that none of the neighbors ever seen (the couple lived there for 10 years). Mom was 78 and Pop was 81. Their heads were kept in paper bags in the veggie tray. Their entrails and the father's genitals were missing.
Son was 43. He was in WWII, honorably discharged, worked before and after WWII at a petrochemical company until he quit, without reason, in 1957. The cops believe the parents were killed either June 19 or 20. I looked at the microfilm until June 30, without any word if they caught him. Though in the June 29 paper a co-worker of the mom said she called June 22 and asked for the mom and the son said she wasn't home and hung up.
Also, he had a ham radio.
Goodness, if there just wouldn't be any customers, I would be so entertained in this job!
