Glad u finally made an appearance. I've been worried but haven't
wanted to bother u.
I'll see what I can do w/some of these books, but now that I no longer
live in Phoenix proper, they charge for a library card in Sun City, &
the Maricopa County branch in Surprise isn't easy to get to, esp. now
that my paratransit eligibility has expired & I'm finding it hard to
get some1 to certify me--why, I have no idea.
