Well, the day has come and gone. I won't bore you with all the details
(they were pretty Dull details), but I went back to the courthouse at
the appointed hour (actually about a half an hour before hand) and
waited. People started streaming out of the court room, the trial was
over. The defense won so he had to pay $100.00, and that is all. I got
$12.00 for my trouble. I knew juror's got paid, I didn't realize that
witnesses got paid.

I got up at some unholy hour (for a day off) to go to court. The subpoena said I should be there at 8:45. When I had spoken to the lawyer he told me he thought it would be about 1:00p before he would need me, but since the subpoena said 8:45, I figured that was when I had better be there. I got there at 8:30. I checked in and was told that I should go sit in the courtroom. I think they may have thought I was a juror. I sat in the court room for a while and then the lawyer for the defense pulled me out. He had me sit in the hallway.

A few hours went by and he came out and told me I should go to lunch because it would be at least an hour before I was needed. I went to Church's fried Chicken (it was close and cheap(ish)). I may remark more on this later. After eating I headed back to the courthouse and everyone seemed to be coming out. The lawyer said to come back about 2:30.

I came home and puttered about, and now am about to head back off to court. Hopefully they will get me in there and let me say my bit and then let me go. This is already taking all day....

Well as you know from a previous blog, I saw an altercation between the police and a civilian outside my window. Well, somehow I seem to have gotten swept up in this little drama, they (the party of the civilian (who happens to live across the street from me)) wants me as a witness. I would probably make a completely useless witness had I not blogged about this the moment after it was done.

So today I get to troop down to downtown (and you know how much I love downtown) to do an interview with a lawyer. Yay.

I popped onto the NASA site to check out the pick of the day, and here's the one for today....
