Hmmm... I could do with some Propane accessories.

Pulaski's garden dragon is about as good a propane accessory as you can get.

I bet that goes well with a 500gal feed.

I find it harder to hold, and read in general. I am a slow reader and I find trying to hold a index card on a screen to cover the lower half of the page on a kindle a royal pain.

I also dislike the idea of spending a good chunk of money on another electronic device just to get a book.

My solution is to simply not buy books anymore if I can't get the one I want in actual paper form.

Sometimes I just don't want to be looking at a screen and holding an electronic device.

My wife's Kindle is attached to her...she stresses if she can't find it.

Went to school without it one day, @ 30 or so miles round trip...rushed home to get it.

Think it's got something like 300 books on it.

First impressions of the outside, it is so jawdroppingly ugly but you could get used to it?? Inside pictures, it looks impressive though. So long as it has plenty of books, and not all ****ing computers.

It has all the stacks on display and reference mixed with lending which is slightly confusing to start with but it looks great. The design does grow on you.

Department stores in the mall. It seem's the gents section is on a different floor at each store....and never seemingly at the entrance you just went through :/

Aanti-vaxx nonsense, especially with the current measles epidemic.
Less of a peeve and more of a full on veins throbbing in the forehead rage fest.
