Jury duty today and ended up on a jury, so cannot discuss life until this trial is over.

But because we are in Texas, the security line where you take your shoes off to get scanned had a bootjack available, attorneys wandered the halls in cowboy hats, cowboy boots, or both, and when explaining that Texas does not allow anyone with a conviction of theft to serve as a juror, the judge made sure to clarify that rustlin' counted. Yes, rustling cattle.

(ps--our internet was back on this morning WE ARE BACK IN CIVILIZATION AGAIN)

This is the most Texas thing I have ever read. XD

He even pointed out that it didn't matter if it was a three-day-old sick and dying dogie that nobody would pay a dollar for, it still counted as rustling and it still disqualified you from jury service.

I had jury duty last year, and it was nowhere near as colorful as yours! But then again, t'weren't Texas.

And YAY, CIVILIZATION.

INTERNEEEEEEET!!!

At one point when cautioning the jury pool about phones, the judge said something to the effect that in the past you'd sit with your friends around the table at a restaurant arguing over who the winner of the World Series was for fifteen minutes, but these days people just stare at their phones and look it up and you lose all the fun.

I HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT DEFINITION OF FUN, YOUR HONOR
