You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me

Yesterday was a completely new experience:  my first library fine.  Sadly, the Rocket City library system (unlike Music City) does not send reminder emails to patrons who are nearing their due date.  As I find it hard to believe that these collective scientists could not come up with an If/Then code for their catalog system, I will have to give credit to a fundraiser for slowly seeping fines into their revenue stream one latte at a time.  (Technically, it's more like a double espresso for one week's delinquency.)

Word to the wise:  if you borrow a book, please return it on time, else you might owe more than a few dimes.
