if hitler is alive, he was at my library today.

he had the awesome mustache, was frickin' old as water. the upper part of his face (mostly the left side) was weirdly disfigured, like he survived bullets aimed at his head and/or got partially burned during his escape.

he sat just a bit east of the center of the branch and when he left, he walked all the way to the back and around, counter-clockwise, like a crazy swastika. i did not snoop hard enough to figure out what book he returned to the folio section, but it was either "art in venice" (art), "american craft museum" (art), or "winslow homer" (art).

hitler was a painter.

case closed.
