Luckily... I've slowly been acquiring sports and sports card related books over the past thirty-something years, so I won't need to go to my local library anytime soon. Although if I knew they were handing these books out, I'd be over there in a heartbeat.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-89669185974757996282015-05-14T09:38:23.641-04:002015-05-14T09:38:23.641-04:00Topps put out a set of team posters in 1969...the ...Topps put out a set of team posters in 1969...the Expos poster has a player that they didn't put in the card set, and never played for the Expos in the majors, Jimy Williams.Eric C.

One kid, though, he has a rare condition and he can never do that. So he reads books. Of course, everybody else makes fun of him, looks down on him. They all have instant access to every bit of information in the history of the world and, HA, this stupid kid reads books. Then there's a computer virus (which kills people). Suddenly, the only one with a skill worth having is the kid who read books. Best scene in the episode comes at the end--funny and sad at the same time--as the kid tries to teach some middle aged woman to sound out "cat".<br /><br />The moral of the story, kids, is reading is fundamental. Or something like that.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-67760689211510193562015-05-14T01:49:38.469-04:002015-05-14T01:49:38.469-04:00I visit our local library book sales often.
