Wow, is that allowed? We're off for some years after serving.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're good for a year (I think?) IF you get seated on a jury. Otherwise, one day, back into the lottery.

Dag, that's rough. Oh! But that's why "one day/one trial" is what they say -- you get full credit even if you don't get seated.

It's 74 degrees F and 53% humidity. Perfect weather.
And I went "gack! That's so humid!" That's the difference with a desert.

The thing is, my neighbor A has been called once in the same amount or more of city residency. B has NEVER been called and he's been Bmore 30+ years and this address 20.
It's still broken and I'm in the broken loop.
It's 72 and 56% here and so all my windows are open and exhaust fan on. Been on since it dipped below 80. I'm actually feeling chilly, with a throw over my legs. And this summer has been MILD.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I got called for Oregon jury duty once. After I'd moved back to California.
I'm sorry, ita. Sucks and blows.
(For the record, Pete would not. At all.)
He's smart.
I'll totally sign your permission slip for that though. Flamethrower that you can rock out with? In!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Huh.Since I moved to Maryland I have been called to jury duty once, about 15 years ago, and haven't been called since. Granted, I'm in a different county than you, sara...

Yeah my mother gets called like every 5 years, and my father maybe got called once.

So Dad had an MRI on Saturday, and this afternoon I learned that he had a stroke sometime in the last month. I feel like kind of a crappy daughter: turns out his wobblyness wasn't just a result of catching norovirus two weeks ago. Not much to be done other than take aspirin and keep an eye on him.
To bring this together with the current topic: he got a jury duty notice for August 11. He really can't get himself there, and I can hardly take time off for that. I may see if we can delay it for a year, and see what happens.
In better news, I had a lovely dinner with Vonnie last night, at which we realized we hadn't seen each other in about four or five years, which is ridiculous.
