Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Courting the Truth

Well, it's Wednesday morning and I'm sitting here waiting for the snow.  Yeah, we're under another winter storm warning with a prediction of 3 - 6 inches (possibly 8) inches... before it turns to ice and then rain.  Tomorrow the temps are supposed to be in the mid 40's (F) which means what ever we get today is going to be on the Fast Track for melting.  My plan is to go into work for a few hours and then leave early.  This storm seems to be moving fast.
I filled out my jury selection questionnaire online.  The last time was selected I only had to spend 1 day at the court house, but that was at the end of the month and most cases had already been settled.  I went to the Cumberland County website to see what the caseload was like for the week starting March 25 - nothing is listed so far.  That doesn't mean there aren't going to be any, just that cases haven't been listed.  The average length for one of these trials is about 2 days.  They're Civil not Criminal, which means someone feels they are owed.
And, speaking of court cases, I guess everybody has seen that the family of that kid in a MAGA hat who tried to stared down an American Indian is suing the Washington Post for $250 million.  They must be taking their cues from the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  My guess is they're hoping the Washington Post will settle out of court for a lower, yet still substantial amount.  We'll have to wait on this one.  Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post and right now he I suspect he's fairly keen on smacking back and stomping down on Conservative Republicans.
I bought some doggy stairs from Amazon.  They were supposed to have been delivered yesterday.  There was a slight problem.  I should expect delivery today... during a winter storm... right.  They're being delivered by the USPS - the last winter storm delayed a delivery by 2 days... my expectations for their arrival today are not that high.  Do you know what I mean?

  3. Of course the kid’s family is gonna try and get money out of it. I hope they get zilch. Anything associated with Cheeto should go down on history as tainted. Forever.
    Hope you write about the jury experience.

    1. That law suit is going to drag on for years, and years, and years, which is what he and his family deserve.
