Raining very hard but not too windy. Wildacres staff assure us it’s not Helene but anyone who lived through that is a bit nervous. No mountain views today - it’s an ID Blumenthal fog

It was rather maddening to hear all the things about upholding the Constitution and everyone is equal under the law etc at jury selection today when very obviously the people at the top are not held accountable for anything

W is going to Dallas with a big group of friends (a few live there) to tailgate at the game and go to the Texas State Fair. The wholesome shenanigans of college life

I do not like the very public nature of jury selection - I now know the defendant’s name and charge and I know a lot of things about the people who were called up and asked questions

The state of North Carolina pays jurors $12 the first day, $20 for days 2-5, and $60 days 6+ so anyone who isn’t on salary loses a lot of money for days out of work

The clerk didn’t take my work note so I have to wait and talk to a judge 😩

Oh bless his heart the clerk just told him he showed up a week early

There’s a man here in the juror pool who is covered head to toe in OU clothes but he’s too far away for me to talk to him

Booked W’s flight and it wasn’t as terrible as I expected. Flying nonstop to Atlanta (we’ll pick him up on the way to Alabama) which I hope isn’t overwhelming on his first flight by himself

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.
