I won’t waste any time on yesterday’s 7.5-hour interval spent waiting around the jury assembly room at the Stanley Mosk courthouse downtown. The end game is that my services as an eager and willing participant in the judicial process weren’t required and after a 90-minute lunch break spent walking around the adjacent mall and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels during noon mass I returned to wait around another hour and a half before being excused.
Oh well. There’s always the next summons.

Sounds like a fun day. But be thankful that you weren’t selected. Cheers, PaL

Mr. Campbell,
After reviewing your blog we the judicial court system decided that the community at large was better served by you being out on the street where you were would be able to better address the unfortunate state of our city. By being free to travel the highways and byways you can spread your unique wisdom to teens in sports cars, inconsiderate people who park in front of driveways, rescue hapless creatures who fall, stumble or other wise become separated from their parental care takers and spread wisdom to those at the public library who lack said wisdom. While the courts have seen clear to limit the allowable excuses used by the un-appreciating public we can not in good faith keep you from your appointed round for more then a day. So please return to your normal life and we will see you again in a year or two.
