Jury Duty.

Given the choice of a. fine, imprisonment or both b. report for jury duty. I chose 'b'. Rather limited choices; even my SATs/ACTs had 'none of the above'. Nonplussed, I asked a young law clerk, "considering the only reason I showed up today is because the alternative is fine or jail, how in the name of God do you expect me to serve as an impartial juror?

After asking this question at appropriate times, eventually I was sent home. No more or less productive than some work days, got some reading in - a recently purchased copy of the "The Chronicles of the Conquest of Granada" By Washington Irving, and discovered, on Tuesdays, Borough Hall has a nifty Farmer's market where I got lunch and some goodies I am enjoying now.
