Jury duty- DONE!

 Today's tip:
It doesn't matter if you're riding far, or just around the block.  Going by bike is healthy for the Earth, healthy for you, and it makes your bike very happy.  Whether for an hour or a minute- just ride!

Whew- that was a tough one.  I was selected for a jury involving trafficking and possession of meth and crack.  Good times.  Don't know that I was one of the defendant's peers, but I was somebody's peer in that courtroom. ;)  It was VERY interesting.  VERY!  They told us at the beginning that it's nothing like Law and Order, but I think it was EXACTLY like it!!!  Objections and sustaineds and overulings, and approaching the bench and whispering with the judge.  It was VERY interesting  (did I say that already?).  We had 2 guilty and one not guilty verdict.  I can live with my decision, but it was hard to come to a decision in the deliberation room.  It's not easy to get 12 people to be unanimous on anything.  What a great experience, tho.  I was happy to do it, and will gladly do it again if given the chance. 

Now back to the "real" world and my daily commute.  Being a cager for a week was not too much fun (makes me remember why I traded my job to be closer to home- highway traffic is horrible).

Bike- I missed you!
