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.

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.
