We The Jury Declare Driver's License Renewal Is A Crock
I was called for Jury Duty again.

This time it's Federal court. And here's the kicker, I have to call after 3pm everyday between February 23rd and March 9th to see if they will need me the next day.

On the plus side, they reimburse you for mileage driven to and from the court house. Given that that's about 2 gallons of gas a day, I will be happy to let them give me an extra $4. Wonder if they will pay for my tolls, too. That's another $3 a day.

What fun.

And Dallas Came To a Halt. Again.
What a mess. Last night this was the exchange on the local news station:

Meteorologist: Well, looks like we will have some flurries tomorrow! Nothing too bad, but maybe some pretty snowflakes!

Anchor Chick: Oh, ho, ho...snow flurries!

Anchor Dude: Kids! Get ready for some snow!!

Meteorologist: Oh, well...No, we won't have enough snow to close schools. Sorry kids. Just some flurries. No big deal...hahaha!


Um, meteorologist dude? You really need a refresher course. First of all, the crazy ice storm we were supposed to get Sunday didn't happen, and now the non-event we were supposed to have today has turned into a sleet-filled (not snow, buddy) mess.

Dallas? You have WAY too many bridges, overpasses and ramps.

Sand trucks? Get to work!! You are really behind, folks!
