Donster Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Morning all. 69F under scattered clouds. High humidity and warm temperatures will be with us to start the week. Highs are going to climb well into the 80s today, producing a heat index of at least the middle 90s. We should see a partly sunny sky today. There's a very slight chance of an evening storm, but if anything forms, it would be very isolated. We'll stay warm and muggy tonight with lows in the 70s. I report for Jury duty this morning. Hope I don't get selected. I mean, seriously, would any of you want me on the jury hearing your case??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwahahahaha! Well...look what the Vulture just regurgitated. It's Heine Lick. I was one of the last twenty-five selected for interrogation...I mean questioning by the County Prosecutor and the Defense Attorney. Wasn't picked, but was an interesting case and learning experience. I really didn't want to go through the hassle, but as time went on, I actually wanted to be selected. Probably why I didn't. But, losing a whole day wasn't worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stans Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hmmmm... getting out of jury duty by trying to get on jury duty... that's brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizkid Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Gawd help the defendant! I can see it now....................."Clear the Courtroom! Juror No. 7 has emitted a noxious gas, and we'll break until the fumes dissipate sometime tomorrow!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donster Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 No worries Whiz. The Court had previous knowledge of my abilities and found the old Civil Defense store room and broke out enough gas masks for everyone. Oh and the 1951 Cheese and Crackers they served for lunch weren't to bad. We got to wash it down with canned water from 1954. I think that the food having been underwater in the basement of the Courthouse during the Great Flood of 2008 probably improved the flavor.

Whizkid Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Without a doubt! Kind of a strange place to build important Government Buildings and Records, isn't it? That flood would, I would think, make the Planners and Politicians a mite nervous! Come to think of it, it's a stupid place! Wonder who made the most money from it!

Stans Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm sure that somewhere, someone thought it was a brilliant idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donster Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 The Courthouse was built in 1923. The city was established in 1838. Never had been a flood that came even close to the building until 2008. Considered to be a "500 year" flood event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely that the structures will remain until the next flood event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
