My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck By Lightning

The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Motives, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

"Being a librarian has its points. You get to wear orthopedic shoes and a tiny frown as you snap the elastic band on your packet of catalog cards."

- Sue Hubbell, author and librarian at Brown University, born today in 1935. (via thelibrarianontherun)
