Yee Hah

Need to be downtown for 8:30am tomorrow for f..ing Jury Duty!

Guess I'll go for either the 7:13am or 6:43am train and then subway up to the courthouse. Ugh.

Will make sure to take my cane and do all I can do to get excused (vision issues, mobility issues).

Well I decided not to use the train this morning (had been lots of track work over the weekend and I wasn't sure if service would be fully restored) so took the bus and subway.

Due to lots of construction at the subway stations I would normally have driven too, I just drove up to the townhouse complex where my unit is still undergoing repairs and parked there

Sidewalks were a bit slippery; had a light snow fall over night but made it down with tons of time to spare.

The last time I was called for Jury Duty, I didn't end up on the jury. My guess as to why not might have to due with that back then, my cousin was a Federal Court Judge of Massachusetts and I had to list him on the paperwork the court make you fill out.

However, my wife was called for Jusry Duty and ended up on the Grand Jury.

I've got a new slogan for Dremel: "At least we're better than Harbor Freight!"

But they're not. Buy a crappy, under-powered motor tool from Harbor Freight at least they throw in a set of four collets. I've got a brand-new Dremel 3000 and I bought the little overpriced small drill set and have no way to use them. Dremel gives you the one 1/8" (3.2mm) collet.

Oh, Dremel sells a set of four collets for $10 because they sell you the nut, which you don't need and the 1/8" collet, which you don't need.

Yeah. All of us released so we're now ineligible to be called for the next 3 years. Only one jury needed to be filled and that was yesterday.

Currently on the train home (far easier than bus and subway)!

They do that on purpose to make you go through the aisles.

Mine did that, then they moved them back… customer complaints perhaps.

Or on hard-to-reach top or bottom shelves - Mirin (in a glass bottle) and bars of soap.
