Settlement
Not surprisingly, we settled the trial that was scheduled this morning. I picked up my boss at 7a.m. (that was far too early for my taste) and we drove to Franklinton, Louisiana (read: the middle of nowehere). We met up with the Judge, his law clerk, his court reporter, and the three other defendants who hadn't settled yet. The plaintiffs' attorney strolled in (late) and she asked us to step out in the hall. She asked us if we could get her a little more money. We said we'd try.
My boss went into the hallway and made a call on her cell phone to the lead insurer for our client. He wasn't there, so she left him a message. She told the plaintiffs' lawyer that she couldn't get him, and that she could either wait around until we hear back, or let us out for the money we'd already put on the table. Needless to say, she let us out and is still at the courthouse, putting the screws to someone else.

whats so bad about Arnold?
Anyway good to hear you didnt have to do the trial, but maybe it would be good to get your first trial out of the way?

Yes, I would like to get my first trial out of the way. However, it would be a good idea for me to get one out of the way when I am more (ahem) prepared.

So, what's up with the angry looking cat? Has PETA been aprised of this abusive situation? I think the kitty's civil rights have been abused, if not abandoned all together.
On a more serious note: I saw a Hello Kitty movie at Blockbuster and wondered if you've seen it yet. It looked like an action-packed drama filled with all of the romance and humor we expect from that famous kitty. So toss the popcorn in the microwave and pour me a pabst blue ribbon....

Note on Franklinton, Louisiana....
FYI: Franklinton is the social, legal, political, cultural and economic epicenter for Washington Parish. And it's home to the annual Washington Parish Fair (Read: biggest pumpkin contest) which is one of the largest agricultural fairs in the state. But other than that it ain't shit.

Dear Quack--
Cats do not have civil rights. They have kitty rights, and the cute kitty pictured above has not had his/her kitty rights violated. If she can find a lawyer who disagrees with me, she can sue me. Really. I'm not scared.
I have seen Hello Kitty movies, and I am here to tell you they are frauds. They have a walking, talking Hello Kitty -- who has a mouth. As we all know, Hello Kitty has no mouth.

I'm glad that someone is having a good morning. I think that I'm witnessing the opening stages of the apocalypse right here in Southern California.
1) Election of Arnold
2) Grocery strike (week 3)
3) Mass Transit strike (week 3)
4) Massive fires all around the San Fernando Valley.
The fires began last week-- just like they do every year. They usually stay in some far off National Park or some tiny speck on the map on the way to Las Vegas. This time the Santa Ana Winds are out to remind us who is in charge. Its rather disconcerting to see a huge plume of smoke dominating the western horizon as you leave Target. It makes for sickeningly beautiful sunset.
The fire in Simi Valley which is about 20 miles from my condo has shut down at least 3 major freeways, destroyed whole neighborhoods-- and it doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. I'm in Burbank now which is a little over 30 miles from Simi Valley and I can see the smoke from here.
The air quality is crap. If the winds shift then we'll get the ash. My first year in Southern California ('92), parts of the city saw what looking like snowfall-- only it was ash from fires in the mountains. The weather is supposed to cool down and the sea breezes are scheduled to calm things on Wednesday. The hope is that things don't get worse before then.
