Minor things that make you happy

After years of hearing the name Purple Aki spoken of in high regards I now finally know the reason for his infamy.
My local rag Hull Daily Mail has run an article on the aforementioned legend as he has seemingly found new harvest over here in the East Riding.
To those in the know, is it true as the paper reports, been run out of Merseyside by Liverpool hard men tired of his antics?

Went to the DC United game last night with my daughter and some friends of ours. Such a joy to see how excited she was. Beautiful weather, very entertaining game, and seeing DC at night with monuments illuminated always has a bit of magic in it
 
I live a couple of blocks from the local public library, and tomorrow they're holding one of their occasional book sales. You fill a big shopping bag with books and they charge you five dollars. Say, I have five dollars. I'm so stoked.

Incidentally, this was America's first public library. In 1778, upon the town's incorporation, eminent locals contacted celebrity scientist/statesman/proto self-help guru Benjamin Franklin to tell him that rather than calling the town Exeter, per the original plan, they'd voted to name it after him, thus making it the first American locality named in his honor. (Now there are 31 different burgs called Franklin in the USA. He was a popular guy.) Then, typical Yankee sharpers that they were, they hit him up for money to buy a church bell. Mr Franklin gave 'em 116 books from his personal library instead, suggesting they open a community lending library of their own. So they did, and the town's seemed pretty smug about it ever since.
