Old peeps short term memory is great if you're an avid reader. You don't have to keep buying books, just reread the ones you've purchased over the past six months. I've been reading a lot of sci fi short stories lately. Today, about 25 pages in, I thought I'd read this one story before. I kept reading recognizing things here and there but don't have a clue how it ends. It's a twofer. I get to read it twice, maybe more, and it's all new. The part that sucks is that the same girl has been cutting my hair and trimming my beard for the past 4 months. Each time I go in, I tell them I want the same girl to take care of me and they tell me her name. She just cut my hair and beard about 5 hours ago and I have no idea what her name is or what she looks like.
