Of course...I are one. 8-}
Uggh...DD, I apologize. :ymblushing:
That was supposed to be my response. I don't know how it became edited and incorporated to yours.

Okay, off soapbox.
Did you fall there today? If so in advance, hope you're okay.

Henry County, are you :teasing-smokingcrack: ? The courthouse has been here 14 plus years. EVERY WINTER, the parking lot freezes. Scraping is useless, and has been that way for 14 years. Buy some kitty litter, for pete's sake, and make it at least moderately safe for those of us trying to get in the building. Or shut down. Your choice.

You're a lawyer, why don't you just go ahead and fall (don't get hurt too badly) and then sue their damn asses! Or hire James Scott Farrin to represent you - Jim is a friend of mine and fellow Duke season ticket holder. His offices now overlook the DBAP.

One of my best friends from high school (and a former law partner) is a litigator with JSF. He's promised me a tour of their offices during a baseball game this spring!

The government has sovereign immunity. You can't sue a governmental entity in most circumstances.

I love the DBAP. We have been a couple of times.

Ya know, capt., I went back and looked at it and I don't know how your response got incorporated into my original post/response. I'll give it one of these :veryconfused: and one of these :-\ and a :-o for good measure.

It started snowing about 2 hours ago. It's supposed to turn to sleet, at least that was the last I heard.

I saw the snow falling at RDU this afternoon! It was a magical moment in an otherwise sucky day.
