HONORED BY MY COMMUNITY

Feb 12, 2008 11:50

Once again the City and County of San Francisco have selected me from among my fellow citizens to be honored. I am a bit embarrassed to tell you this because I am a humble man who prefers to remain in the background, quietly being the magnanimous, incredibly wonderful person I am ( Read more... )

*throws confetti for you*

I'm jealous, actually--I've never been called to jury duty and - with the exception of four summers in the Santa Cruz area, I've lived here all my life!

(by the way I saw your comment to MT above, and golly, am so sorry you went through such a thing.)

Are you registered to vote? because that's usually what they draw from.

Yep, and I have a driver's license. Either gets you on the register. It's fine, though. I only grouse because of the parking.

Mentally ill, eh? :-)

Say, whatever happened to posting those close-ups of your books on their shelves?

That's far more important than jury duty.......

LOL Okay, okay, okay. I'll get some photos up. Actually, I have been thinking that it's my camera that is the problem. I'm thinking of getting a DSLR so I can have a wider angle lens. Would that help?

Yep, have been voting since I turned 18.

I've been called as regularly as clockwork the past several years. And, that means as often as they are allowed by law to call me. I don't mind the jury duty, actually, it's more the hassle. In SF, there's NO good way to get there without driving and parking is OUTRAGEOUS. They give you $10.00 per day for serving and parking costs $25. 00. So, unless you decide to eat lunch, it only costs you about $15.00 per day plus gas money for the honor and privilege. :-)

As to the other thing, it was my wife who suffered the most. She is a wonderful woman and it horribly changed her life forever. I would have killed all three of the guys without the least hesitation, had I found them. I searched for them for months. I guess I'm lucky I didn't find them. :-(

:(
The repercussions of violence ripple far and wide, I know.
So sorry.
*hugs*
