...they usually come true. The (second) motherboard in our (relatively new) computer seems to have bought the farm. You would think that with a computer genius like Adam around, we would never have these problems. Sadly, you would be wrong. This means that the promised picture posting will have to be put on indefinite hold until Adam has time to figure out what the problem is and fix it. Given that he has been working approximately 38 hours per day lately, that could take awhile.
Item #1 in today's News of the Weird is that I have been called for jury duty. IN ANAMOSA. (This is, unfortunately, about as weird as my life gets.) This is funny because a) I traded in my Iowa driver's license for a DC one about six months ago, and b) I have not been registered to vote in Anamosa for at least 4 years. In fact, since I was last registered to vote in Anamosa, I have been registered in two other places: Ames and DC.
Anyway, my wonderful mother filled out the jury duty form for me, but she left the "Distance from residence to courthouse" space blank. After I talked to her, I looked it up: 923 miles. At their rate of $.20-$.30/mile for commuting, that's about $184-$277, which is probably enough for a plane ticket. Given that I'm self-employed and the only equipment I need to do my job is a computer and a high-speed internet connection, and that (News of the Weird item #2) my dad was called for jury duty at the same time (I don't think he was as amused about it as I was), I should totally do it. How much fun would it be to report for jury duty with my dad? Actually, probably more fun for me than for him. He has to actually show up somewhere for work.
