COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

Yikes. Another above 90 degree day. Hazy, hot & humid. Gardening & yard work about done for today. We weeded, cut around the lawn perimeter, trimmed perennials. It’s 77% humidity…. We’ll probably trim some Muscadine grape vines that are taking over our deck. Sully makes out….loves grape leaves.

Some good looking Cactus “tuna” for our collections!

Truly fascinating if they don't excuse him when he reports in. Sometimes, it takes an in-person meeting with the clerk or the judge since they get no-shows & all kinds of excuses out of people who don't want to be on a jury.

Of course I'll be the one that has to accomplish all that. Joe doesn't even know what they are talking about. He'll think he's in trouble with the court.

I hear you. You could tell him he's been asked to interview to act in a new courtroom drama for tv. Sigh. Does Joe vote? If so, that's probably how he got a jury duty summons.

I'm just going to let them talk to him or try if they don't grant it . Before it's over every one will have to be wearing their glasses to read...by the time it's over he'll be pedaling his art to them... whatever hmm the thought of a video

I have been called to jury duty 16 times in 42 years! LMAO....It came up so often, and I made excuses so many times that Mary, the long time Clerk(now retired) of AA county called me at work to tell me that I wasn't getting out of it again!

LOL, After I showed up, they stop pestering me so often. I'd love to cash in on that Eight whole dollars for the day but I feel good that I'm letting someone else hit that gold mine of free money!

Last time the case was an Architect V Homeowner............I recognized the Arch and one side let me go....I don't know which side.

I joke a lot about everything......but jeff wasn't a good kid......and I watched the judge in my case, sentence a man to life in prison w/o the chance for parole.....and MY case was next. To say that I was scared is an understatement. I had less fear hearing bullets wiz by my head(yes, you really do hear them). Thankfully, I got probation. I pass the road that leads to that courthouse in Upper Marlboro where I now work, every day.....that judge did the right thing by giving me a 2nd chance at life.....and he reminded me of the sentence he had just given out, and told me never to return. I didn't!

Yeah, all that at 17, then cause I vote, they call me every other year for jury duty....maybe they figure it's good "reinforcement" ? LOL

What really worries me is he does vote

There's a person that needs help and I'm so sad that I can't connect him to the right person. He bought a couple of Tortoises and even after quarantine they may be infecting his cherry heads with herpes

Ya, I read the post also, very sad. Sad for the two Cherryheads, AND sad that they may have infected the rest of the herd.

Well...and maybe you're one of the few voters in town. Lol every 3 years seams like there's not many people in the pool. Good maybe someone with some kind of sense is voting in your territory

I'm just really glad to see people responding for Adam. Looks to me like he tried so hard.

Well.. I did get a video, but the good part only lasted a few seconds so I don't know if the whole thing will post here or not. If it does feel free to stop watching that dang hummingbird showed up when I didn't have the app running. And I didn't know how to stop the camera from doing a video after I finally started recording it's catch as catch can around here then I saw two hummingbirds today. Probably means bird wars

I left my camera trap out last night and the only thing it picked up at dawn was a one legged robin! Poor little thing but it seems to cope OK.

He'd be better as a court room artist - I'd love to see his interpretation of defendants and witnesses!!

Congratulations on 26 years and here's to the next 26!!

Good morning/afternoon all,
Happy Thursday!
It's cooler here now and overcast but still too warm and muggy for me. We've has a few light showers but they probably evaporated before they hit the ground. We need a good soaking!
Hope you all have a good day.
TTFN

Me too oh my garsh I'm just gonna go with the flow. If we have to show up it's their fault and he won't forget it. He'll paint a perfect picture of it.

I got another video of the strange little hummingbird species I have here. Probably a girl.but she's just such a wallflower. Dull green and grey drab color. Her belly is whiteish. I've actually watched up close in my backyard to see what color she is

. She's not a shiny little jewel except that SHE is a hummingbird. I've never seen one like her before.
