LOL Cats, Nudity, Hipster Librarians

Ernest Hemingway’s house in Key West has long been the home of a group of cats, many of which have the unique characteristic of having six toes. If you’ve never been, you should hop on a plane an go check it out. (Any excuse to go to Key West is a good excuse.) Apparently, someone in the Federal Government decided that the Hemingway House would need to obtain a permit in order to “display” live animals. There are feral cats that have been in and around the house since Hemingway lived there. The Key West City Commission was having none of this and voted to declare the cats “animals of historic, social and tourism significance.” Papa’s cats appear to have won this round. Whose laughing out loud now?

The Tempest Bookstore in Waitsfield, Vermont is hosting a reading by the author of Nudity and Christianity, Jim C. Cunningham. The audience will be nude. And they are being asked to bring towels. Based upon the readings that I’ve been to around here, this could get ugly fast.

Those hipster librarians are now pimping their book carts.
