The weather's been a roller coaster ride. We went from 70 degree days to teens at night and raw breezy 40's the past couple of days. From this Saturday into next week, we'll be back to almost 70..............again, which will be nice because John and Carolyn arrive Sunday from frigid snowy Kansas.
I reported to my jury duty at the Murphy Courthouse this morning at 8:30, was sworn in, then along with about 50 other potential jurors, was ushered to another room while the judge met with the lawyers. Around 10:30, our Clerk of Courts brought us back to the courtroom where the judge apologized for the wait-time, thanked us for showing up, and dismissed us. He explained that many times when the accused actually step foot in the courtroom and stand before the judge, knowing the potential jurors are in the next room waiting, the accused pleads guilty. Reality sets in. All four cases went that way this morning. Sigh of relief!
