    This is a reminder to tell you one potential downside of ILL.

    Because of the government invasions of privacy, many library systems
    erase all information of what books you took out as soon as they're
    returned. (The government can demand all it wants, but the
    information no longer exists.) ILL holds onto that information
    forever (or at least decades), claiming they have to for some kind of
    copyright compliance.

    This made me think of I-95 versus the Merritt Parkway for
    traveling through Connecticut.

    [Hal Heydt]
    My fahter used to reminisce about driving on the Merritt Parkway
    after the bridges had been put in, but before the rest had
    actually been paved.

    For myself, I'll say that I don't know of a prettier road
    anywhere I've ever been.
