The Library Card
Ever wonder how buying a piece of exercise equipment on craigs list would lead one to getting a library card? Well look no further. I would not have believed if I had not been along for the ride.
My sister had been stalking a Gazelle online. It make her sound like a lioness stating it that way but she really was. She had stumbled across the Tony Little gliding contraption called the Gazelle. She asked me to go along to pick it up for 2 reasons. One was that she did not was to go by herself to some stranger's house and she needed cash, she only carries plastic.
We went outside of Hershey to get it and while on the way there we passed several packs of VWs driving in the opposite direction. Thinking nothing of it at first she then spoutted something about a VW owners' gathering that these people must be going to.
We picked up the Gazelle and upon pulling out of the neighborhood, one of them honked at her. She took this as in invitation and we followed for a few miles until she got a little disheartened with no apparent destination is sight. She has a compulsion to know things but does not what to wait for things. She wanted to drive home to look it up online but then if she wanted to go she would have to drive all the way back to where we were. This is when I suggested the library 2 block away.
Next thing I know, we are in the library and she is signing herself up for a card, which she has not had in at least 15 years, so she can log onto the computers there to look it up. She searched for a bit and then turned to me because she had exhausted her searching capabilites. I found the information relatively quickly. It turned out that the VW fest was over an the people we saw were on her way home. And soon there after so were we.
So it took a mere 4 minutes total of searching to find this answer. But it illustrates how nosy and to what lengths my sister is willing to go to find something out.
