Rave for Jin who did nothing but look at those kids. 
Confession: I did something truly awful today. 
I went to a library and borrowed a book. A real one with paper and ink. Just...just to touch the pages and feel the texture; then there's the smell of the binding of rich leather.
A book, a real book. Yes I do remember them and I have one now. Not this stupid kindle thing with it's several hundred volumes in it. Can't wait to read it.
Know something else? Can't get Star Reduction Tables in a Kindle either. Still need to look them up the old fashioned way, in a book. But then I don't think any of you can use a sextant either. |
Fear isn't always taught. One of the kids could have had a bad experience. I would say shame on the mother, however, for not showing the children that your dog was not doing anything wrong, and was actually providing a service.
As to your borrowing a real book. ENJOY! Nothing there to confess. We're supposedly a forum full of "book lovers" regardless of the book's form. Paper was here before eink and it would be a shame to "waste" books that have already been printed.
