Yeah, that's another risk.

My only jury time was that arson case. It was really interesting, and perhaps a lot easier because nobody was hurt. No emotional outrage. It was just a case where the lady torched her house for the insurance money.

The fire investigator was really interesting to listen to. He did a great job of explaining what they look for and how they investigate fires.

I remember one kinda funny thing he said was that he first suspected arson when he saw the refrigerator. It was covered with dozens of magnets but all the kids' artwork was gone. Clue, that. :-) And all the clothes were missing in the bedrooms. Plus, she later confessed, so it was pretty much a slam-dunk. But it was interesting.

She was not a very good arsonist. :-)

See, they'd get me because all the books would be removed from the house beforehand.

"No, I grabbed them during the fire... yeah, all thousand-plus volumns... and the bookshelves..."

"Why was the gun case empty?"

You may be teasing but we had a guy here who burned down his mansion after hiring a bunch of guys to haul out the furniture. They got him on mail fraud because he mailed in his insurance claim. Just something to remember. LSA

I got my yogurt maker! It's as cute as it can be! I thought it was going to be big, like a breadmaker, but it's small...not much bigger than a 39oz coffee can!

I'm glad. Steve gives me grief when I have too much stuff cluttering up the counters. This is small and won't take up much space.

Paint some blue accent panels on it, like the movie R2D2.

Where did you get it?

My sister once wanted one, and I don't think she got it.

Really? You thought so?

I'm thinking: Lost. Jump. Shark.

But maybe that's just me.
