Good morning! Beautiful morning here - it's 73, with 69% humidity so a little muggy. And there's no wind. A cold front is supposed to come through sometime today. Watched the headlines a couple minutes ago and the mu variant was all the rage. I'm going to work at 11 this morning - working for a couple of gals who are managing rentals; I'll be working on their delinquent payers. We'll see how that goes. Edward has floor this afternoon. The dogs may not know what to do with themselves if we're both gone for a few hours. Hope y'all have a great Tuesday-that-feels-like-a-Monday. Attachment Deleted

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.
A few weeks ago I got a summons to report for Jury duty selection for this morning.
I have served on a jury before and I have no problem with doing so, but in this case I am very thankful that I wasn't one of those chosen to be on the jury.
The case that they were picking a jury for was the murder trial of the a man who was responsible for the drug overdose death of his girlfriend's 3 year old daughter.
The little girl's mother who was also involved already plead guilty in an earlier trial.
You may have seen the story when it made national news at the time back in 2018.
My heart is breaking after hearing some more of the details of the case this morning.

I'm glad you didn't get picked for that jury, Mel. I'd have had a pre-conceived idea as to the guy's guilt & my desire to throw the book at him, so I'm sure I wouldn't have been selected for the jury in that case. Super hot & humid here this afternoon. I felt like I had walked through a hot shower by the time I came home this afternoon.

Our county courthouse is currently undergoing major renovations, so the jury selection was held at another building down the street from the courthouse that used to be a movie theater when I was a kid.
Being there brought back a lot of cherished memories of seeing movies there with my Mom and Dad when I was little. We didn't go out much back then, so a movie night out once or twice a year was a real treat.
Another thing that surprised me this morning was that they were only picking a jury for that one trial. In my previous experiences with jury duty, there was always a list of all of the trials that were coming up in the next few months and juries were picked for all of them at once.

Hope the sad circumtances of what you were there for didn't diminish the good memories. Another thing that surprised me this morning was that they were only picking a jury for that one trial.

That's been going on here due to COVID.

Good morning! I finally got a good night's sleep last night, even tho I was up at 4 & didn't go back to sleep for an hour. Full day - I'm working real estate w/Sweetie this a.m He has a great new listing coming soon. I'm struggling with setting up a schedule,but I think I'm expecting too much too soon. I put a lb of pretty beef stew neat in the crackpot & wrote outinstructiobs for Edward re: adding veggies early this afternoon. I still have to write instructions for feeding the dogs lunch. We'll both get used to this, & I am thankful to be working. Hope yall have a good Wednesday!

Good afternoon! We are having a pleasant sunny mid 70s day here, but more rain is in the forecast for late this evening and tonight. I was supposed to start physical therapy for my arm today, but my appointment got postponed to next Wednesday because the therapist is out sick. During the night, a hit and run driver smashed into my neighbor's car and pushed it into mine. My car has only minor damage to the front bumper, but the neighbor's car is totaled. One of the officers who came out to take our reports got back to me to say that they got the guy who did it. Evidently, his car had enough damage that he didn't get too far after fleeing the scene.

That stolen car story was pretty wild, Mel! I'm really glad the police caught the guy! That Kermit in the mask meme is hilarious! Wonder if the driver of the stolen car that hit your neighbor's car & damaged yours wore a mask. Good day ... learning this new software system is pretty interesting. I'm happy to be more out & about. Hope your trip to get your car serviced was uneventful, Jeanette.

That's a good one, Mel! It's only 56° here this a.m. Hard to believe. It feels great outside. Supposed to reach the low 90s this afternoon. PF won't load on my PC this morning. I'm getting a This site can't be reached message. Hope that problem doesn't persist. Later- Sweetie has determined our DSL is down. :wacko He's on the phone with AT&T now.
