Why do cellphone batteries choose 4:00am to die?
The scene played out something like this:
Phone: <feep>
Me: Wha? Begins attempting to determine if there was a noise and what it was. Not hearing anything, rolls over and attempts to return to sleep.
Phone: <feep>
Me: WTF? What is that? Sits up and scans the area. Sees nothing and falls back to pillow.
Phone: <feep>
Me: Damn phone. Gets up and turns phone off. Momentarily surprised by annoying loud shutdown “tune”. Return to bed. Toss, turn, repeat. Get up at 5:15 after not getting any more sleep.
Lesson learned: turn off damn phone at night.

Or how about “Lesson learned: charge damn phone at night”?
Are you up-to-date on the Library ‘O Doom? I’m asking for reader judgment on my latest post.

I’ve halfway been paying attention. I’d really like to read this “Bond Election Resource Manual” they reference on the city’s website, but to be honest, I don’t have a lot of time during the day to get away and go over there. Maybe on some weekend (which isn’t taken up by classes or other stuff…).
Anyhow, I saw your post and looked a little at their site. One of your commenters beat me to the punch on the first thing I noticed, namely that weaselly bit about Council “priorities” after the election. I’d like someone from the city to cut through the B.S. and just come out and say whether or not there is going to be enough money to fund needed infrastructure items without raising the tax rate if the library is also funded. It’s disingenuous at best to say that the library won’t raise taxes if the money required to build it causes a tax increase to build needed infrastructure items later.
