Always something of interest...

We dropped into the Palm Desert Library to their book sale area and we got 8 books for $6...all almost new or new.
Oh...and we got two free pens.

I thought this was a cool idea for encouraging kids to read...in partnership with In-N-Out Burgers:


For adults these free chef demos and music sounded interesting...didn't know about them.



 We were familiar with the Osher Institute of Learning down here...non-credit courses very reasonable.  You can take 5 a quarter for $150.  I picked up a brochure at the library today on LIR Institute...Learning in Retirement.  This is an even better deal...8 two hour sessions for each course and you can take up to 5 for $45.  That's about 50 cents an hour for instruction!

And then of course as always the wild and weird world of the US...

 Look rather cool in the living room, n'est-ce pas?
