[kj] ot - bush monument/museum

[fluw]

in austin there are at least two for every suburb, in the city there is 
one for every part of town like east, west, central, south..then there 
are the non municipal libraries like texas state, several on campus', 
etc. libraries are everywhere really. here in albany, there are fewer 
per capita than in austin, yet still more than two per town/city.

i have lived in nuevo mexico, california, arizona, kansas, colorado and 
new york and one thing i have always noticed is that the amount of 
libraries a town city region has - is somehow a good indication to the 
degree of intelligence possessed by the population it serves. 'magine 
that...
