Happy dull Monday, GN. A work holiday for me today, and then it looks like I have to report for jury duty Wednesday. All in all, a short and messed up week.

Hi, Mac. I’ve been getting jury summons every 2-3 years. Here, and I don’t know if this is most places, but you are assigned to a group and you have the option of just showing up for one day during that week or checking the website and seeing if your group is required to come in. I used to just go in for one day and be done with it; the last couple of times I rolled the dice and my group wasn’t called. This time, my group number seems low enough to get called.

In the dozen or so times that I’ve been summoned, only once was I even called into a courtroom for jury selection. That time, we all sat there for half an hour and then were dismissed.

I’m like Sven -- I get a postcard every few years telling me I get to spend a week checking a website to see if I have to report to a court. When I was much younger and had to report in-person, I got put on a panel 6-8 times and excused all but three (one civil, two criminal).

Happy Color-blind Monday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven, and Mac!

I’m sure MLK, Jr. is spinning in his grave fast enough to power the entire eastern seaboard, given what the Left has done to his dream.
