A Nearly Dull Day On Jury Duty

So, I had Jury Duty on Monday.  I don’t mind getting called.  Which is a good thing as I have probably been selected to sit on 7 or 8 jury’s over the years (I’ve lost track).

Overall, it was pretty quiet and dull day.  I was called up to one of the courtrooms along with 29 others and we started going through the question and answer process.

We broke for lunch and I wandered outside around the courthouse.  As I was heading to the parking garage to drop a few things in the car, I noticed an ambulance sitting at the entrance with its lights going.  I didn’t see anyone around the ambulance.  I figured maybe they were working on someone inside.

So, I head up to the floor the car is parked on.  As I turn the corner, I hear what sounds like a conversation on a walkie talkie.  Turns out that someone passed out about two spots from where I parked.  Looked like someone in their late 60’s (?).  I hope they’re OK.

Beyond that, not much else happened.  I didn’t get picked.  But, the whole process kept everyone there until just after 6:00.  Not too bad.  I missed a lot of the traffic.

The near death of Alain De Cadenet

A friend of mine sent me this the other day.  If your a fan of airplanes, close calls, and Alain De Cadenet you’ll love this clip.  If I see him at Goodwood this year, I’ll have to ask him about this.  Pretty wild…

Note:  This is best viewed with the speakers turned up.  Also, there is a little cursing at the very end.  So, if you’re watching this at work, you might want to keep the volume down.  It’s only 30 seconds long.
