I represented myself in court this morning. My case was dismissed with no court cost. I’m happy.

Yay!

You should have never been cited. . .

No, I shouldn’t have. The DOT bus should have been given the ticket. That would have made them be responsible to pay fixymy car and a car rental while it was being fixed.

If I had been, I would have had enjoyed it. Working as a paralegal for Duke was great.

Yesterday I was in traffic court. There was a defendant who had been charged with defective equipment and expired inspection. He had gotten whatever was wrong with his car fixed and had gotten his inspection updated. In such cases, the judge can (if we don't squawk) dismiss the cases. I don't squawk if the person is cooperative with the officer. He was, so his cases were dismissed. Instead of leaving out the back door, however, he walked toward the fine hall. The judge said to him, "sir, you don't owe us anything. You can make a voluntary contribution to the county if you want to." (his usual statement. Most people laugh, say no and walk out.)

I said, "if you really want to make a voluntary contribution to the county, the Christmas tree in the entrance has bears on it for gifts for the less fortunate." Didn't think of it anymore.

When I got back from court, Shannon the assistant office manager (who collects the gifts for the less fortunate) had an odd look on her face. She said, "Did you send a man up here?" I said no. She said, "well, a man came up here and said he had money left over that he didn't have to pay the court, and gave me a $20 bill to help with gifts."

It got a little dusty in here after that.

Great story! So nice to know that there are good people in the world - we need to share and hear these things. And I'm going to go dust my office now.

Is anyone going to the bowl game? I would love to go. The o lynch duke bowl game we went to was in Burham Al. We lost to Texas Tec. Steve Spurrier was our coach. People had signs "Steve, leave th play book". When it was obvious we were going to lose, one sign said "Steve, take the game book". That doesn't stop me from wanting to go.

That's the only bowl game I have been to. Mom will be in town and apparently the office cannot do without me this year, so I suppose I will be watching online.

I've debated back and forth going to Shreveport for the bowl game. Because I could also hit the tables there. However, after looking at my Buick and needing to get it fully back to functional before the end of January, the only real time I have to do that is during the Christmas break period when a couple guys from my car club are available to give me hand.

So, today, I'll donate a ticket in the hopes that someone local will go in my spot. Even if they really aren't a Duke fan. There is Barksdale AFB there as well as Fort Polk a little further away.

Vandy started sending socks when you give a gift to the alumni fund.

Has anyone had any good pop-tarts lately?

Finally made time to put Christmas pictures up on Facebook. Along with a really great note, Nephew Alex gave me something really special - his first ACC Championship ring. I still can't believe he did it.

I flunked adding a picture.
