From Jeffrey Toobin's 2008 book THE NINE, this remains the greatest Justice Souter anecdote I can possibly share. RIP.
. . . It was, for example, a running joke at the Court that outsiders frequently mistook Souter and Breyer for each other. No one could really understand why this happened, because the two bore little resemblance. One day when Souter was making his usual solo drive from Washington to New Hampshire, he stopped for lunch in Massachusetts. A stranger and his wife came up to him and asked, "Aren't you on the Supreme Court?" Souter said he was. "You're Justice Breyer, right?" said the man. Rather than embarrass the fellow, Souter simply nodded and exchanged pleasantries, until he was asked an unexpected question. "Justice Breyer, what's the best thing about being on the Supreme Court?" The justice thought for a while, then said, "Well, I'd have to say it's the privilege of serving with David Souter."

#librarylife #unshelved

An homage to Unshelved (just about) on the anniversary of its launch.
Title: Unshelled A Dewey-like librarian squirrel is talking to a squirrel patron. Librarian: I've told you before you can't hide acorns in the library. Patron: It's just so hard to stop! There's a huge stack of nuts labeled "Lost and Found." Patron (off-panel): You're putting that in the lost and found, right? Librarian: I am, I promise. Patron: And you'll give it back tomorrow? Librarian: Absolutely. Manager Librarian: Maybe you're right. Maybe our patrons are all nuts.
