FEW ARE CHOSEN:
I am not on the jury. We spent all day in jury selection and then at the end of the day, the three gentlemen in question took a plea bargain and bacame thugs. The case was resolved without trial. This does show the effect of a potential trial on the defendants and the power of a jury standing in wait to get things concluded.
I felt and feel OK about it and the whole process of resistance leading to acceptance that I went through. It was a pretty good exercise in patience and tolerance at a very low cost.
PICKUP:
Today, we are scheduled to pick up the car; another exercise in tolerating and being patient with a process. John has done a lot of the leg work so it should not be too terrible but there are all those papers and all those kinks and turns and a little arm twisting potential. But, we like the salesman and the agency, so how bad can it be?
NORMAL:
I am ready to get back to normal (if there is really such a state); actually I think I mean that I am ready for the ROUTINE to resume. That is not going to happen until tomorrow I think. For a start, I will be in the gym this morning. Then I will go to do my shopping that was 'supposed' to be done yesterday and I am not sure about making my Wednesday Meeting. I will just do the 'next indicated thing' and let it play out.
