Just got an email from Gale telling me there’s a post card up there calling me to jury duty on August 21. Gives me a good excuse to drive over to the County Seat, take a fishing pole along. Nice little lake on one end of town and there’s no point wasting a trip.
Unless they’re crazy enough to select me to serve on a jury. In which case some accused will walk free, some traffic violator will be spared a fine, or someone lawsuiting someone else will have to depend on the luck of the draw without my vote in his/her favor.
Ain’t nobody going to serve any jail time, pay any fine for anything at all on my say-so.
Although, I suppose if the right person happens to be snarling after the right other individual or corporation for the right civil offense the strength of my convictions might be sorely tested. More on gut feel than evidence, though. I try not to make unbiased judgements against my fellow humans.
So most likely I’ll get in some fishing.
