Well, surely the courthouse will be air conditioned, anyway. I hope. Yeah, I guess that does fall into the "small consolation" category.
Not so small!
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

I don't know for sure that it's not but it is a notoriously old and falling apart building. I've only had jury duty in the winter, though, and the heat worked fine.

What lisah said. I've been there early spring and it varied from warm and mildewy smelling to ice cold.
My work has a/c. And I don't have to be here at 8:15 am.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a little cooler, but still in the ridiculously hot category.

poor sara! I hope it's normal cool at the courthouse and also that there's no business going on there so you can hang out and read and go home early without getting put on a jury.
My boss went out and bought several free standing air conditioners yesterday to cool down our stupid office. It sort of worked for a while. But I'm working at home today. And drinking a boatload of delicious iced coffee. And eating lots of lime and mango popsicles!

Okay people, place your bets now!
Fidel Castro: dead, or not?
My vote is dead, but in an effort to dispel rumors, his brother will stage an elaborate Weekend At Fidel's scenario. Wackiness will ensue.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Somewhere in Dick Cheney's basement laboratory there are the reanimated corpses of Castro and Ken Lay. I'm not sure exactly what the plan is, but I think it involves the Ice Capades.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I gave serious thought to working at home today to avoid going out in the Heat, but since my little AC units can barely keep up, the work AC lured me out.

I've got to decide on my reading material for tomorrow. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to end up juried. (Blahblahblah civic duty rah!rah! but if I'm selected , it's going to be a pain work and morning-wise.)

If you're on a jury, you usually don't have to be there first thing in the am, so the lawyers and judge have a chance to do their thing. IME.
Castro seems pretty dead. Or at least severely incapacitated. I love the "message from Fidel." "I am fine! They will not be sure of my condition for a couple of days, but I'm doing GREAT!!"

Feh. It's only 10:20 in the AM and it's already hit the 90s. This morning is already so GROSS!
