PSA- Return Your Library Books!

Today's Public Service Announcement is a relatively straight forward one: Be sure to return your darn library books!

I actually saw a copy of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s anti-war classic novel "Slaughterhouse Five" at the Shenandoah County Prison Library in Woodstock, Va., a few years ago. I should add I was NOT an inmate there, but merely visiting the institution as a newspaper reporter.

To this day, I wonder how often that book is 'checked out' there.

"True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country," the late Kurt Vonnegut Jr., who penned "Slaughterhouse Five."

Vonnegut's novel, oh by the way, is about the end of the world.

Here is the line:

"Call me Jonah."
