Day: August 17, 2023

Thur. Aug. 17, 2023 – jury duty today, so offline until they boot me out…

Hot and humid, sunny. Forecast says three more days at least. Gah. I’m pretty much over the heat. I maybe looking for it during the cold season, but right now? I’d take a few 10s of degrees lower…

Spent yesterday asleep as much as possible. And I’m feeling a lot less snotty. Head still feels ‘overfull’ and I’m one deep breath from a cough or a sneeze. Kids needed chauffeuring around and I did have a pickup or two to make.

Today I’ve got jury duty. I show up at 8am, sit around for a while, then get sent home. Best case. Worst case would be selected for a case then sequestered. Every other time I’ve just been sent home at some point in the morning. Fingers crossed.

Participating in the judicial system is an important civic duty, but no one really likes it. That’s why I say that being any elected official should be like jury duty, with people looking for ways to avoid it.

I’m still going to go and let them decide they don’t need or want me…

Meanwhile, stack some stuff. Bacon for example. You probably don’t have enough. Turns out I don’t and that is a shocker…
