Weird Houses, etc.

Our house is three stories. There’s an upstairs with shed dormers on the back. The main floor, and a basement that runs about half the length of the house.

Weird Houses, etc.

Beautiful! We live in a truly weird house. It was originally a store. Well, first it was a fruit stand, then it was a store. We’ve tried to make changes so it looks more like a home and less like a strip mall. We’re putting a garage on the main level, and we took out the storefront windows and repla...

I know that stadium is in Atlanta but that picture and your story reminds me of my dad. When I turned 16 I asked him to buy me a car. He said, I’ll buy you a car when they start playing night games at Wrigley. It became a little gag between him and me. I called him in 1988, when I was 29, and was li...

Bill_G, retired, affluence of effluent, and errata

Every time you show up you’re telling them they don’t need to hire/train/vet anyone else. If it’s not that big a deal to you, then by all means, take the money and enjoy whatever free time you can manage within the schedule. There’s a lot to say about keeping busy and having a purpose.

Whereas the prosecutor may introduce any of the defendant's out-of-court statements ( provided they are against his penal interest , and many are). In my experience, this is a concept that no prosecutor, very few judges, and not nearly enough defense counsel embraced. If the defendant said it, it i...

I agree with everything you’ve said about planting seeds, particularly if you have a juror looking for a reason to acquit.

To be honest, I’m surprised more trials don’t end in acquittals. But I don’t think jurors really understand (or care about) reasonable doubt.

Time will tell.
