The Calm After the Storm
A few days ago I posted a picture of the storm at the airport here in Palm Beach. I was contemplating flying into the heart of the storm instead of sitting in a room full of attorneys for the day. Today I chose the latter and it was about as much fun as it sounds. It was my first time through this particular experience and it wasn't what I would call a rockin' good time. I wish I could have said, "Your honor, the witness (me) is being badgered" but there was no judge, just a bunch of lawyers quoting rules and regulations I've never heard of. I think, technically, lawyers have formed a sovereign nation who have created a set of rules that abstract them and all behavior from regular society. That's another pseudo-sociological concept I am working on, but is a rather empty thing to really think about unless you are on a break in one of those badgering-sessions.
After the session, I headed out to get some pictures around Palm Beach. I twisted my ankle in an effort to get this one... that dock is even more uneven than it looks!

Somebody once told me that half the country is just lawyers interested in suing the other half of the country. Your experience only seems to reaffirms that.
There are just way too many lawyers for comfort.
Superb sunset. Hope your ankle heals - twisted ankles are painful to say the least.
