Since I haven’t posted in a bit, I thought I’d do a quick update.

Jury Duty on Monday wasn’t too bad, although I spent half my day just waiting. Everyone had warned me about that though, so I brought a book, which I almost finished. Anyway, I was part of a group brought up to the 6th floor (criminal courts) where we waited to enter the courtroom for jury selection. And we waited. And waited. Finally, they brought all of us inside to tell us that the case we’d been waiting to be picked for was resolved while we waited out in the hallway! The two defendants both plead guilty and that was pretty much it. So they let us go on Monday at noon! Not bad.

Then of course yesterday was Super Tuesday, although I was slightly disappointed when I found out that just because we voted yesterday didn’t mean we would actually know anything concrete on Tuesday. I just don’t follow the voting process close enough to know that the real decision isn’t made until AUGUST! And our little votes don’t really count for anything except to show our delegates how we’d like them to vote, even if that means they don’t end up voting that way. I guess I just thought by voting I was doing something a little more affective or influential.

To round things off, I just want to make a quick mention of the storms we had last night. The rain and wind at our house was pretty crazy, but I would have to say it was nothing I hadn’t seen before. The hail was fun though. We were able to stand on our front porch and watch it all come down. We were lucky enough to not have any damage or real threat of damage to our neighborhood, even though the big red circles that mean “tornado” seemed to be awfully close to our house on the “super duper live radar doppler” things. Watching the TV scared me more than the actual storm. The thunder and lightening were a bit exciting, like always, and we made it out unscathed.
