Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen.
Went out in the dank grey on complaining knees and got my library hold finally. Then stopped by the Pour Boy which, whatever else it may be, is kinda sorta Vietnamese (mural of the Buddha on one wall, statue of same in an alcove) and had a very good chicken sandwich and salad. Bless the owners for not playing 'Christmas' music. (Yes I have been Whammed. Three notes only, but still.) I ate my sandwich to the strains of Steely Dan's Do It Again and Billy Joel's She's Always a Woman, and very nice it was too.
