Out of the Blue

Today is Election Day in the U.S. If you are a voter, I'm really hoping this is not the first you're hearing of this. MrsBlue and I are about to duck out to do our civic duty. I promised the Pickle Rick on my desk an "I Voted" sticker, and he seems excited about that. We expect things to go smoothly for us, so I really appreciate those who willingly endure long-lines and other obstacles that stand between them and democracy. The stakes are high and the rhetoric has reflected that, so hopefully we can proceed peacefully through this process and its aftermath, Guy Fawkes Night notwithstanding.

To follow up on my jury duty summons, last night I learned I don't have to report tomorrow, so my luck held out. My next check-in is after business tomorrow, when I find out if I'm required to report on Thursday. I'll keep you posted.

Elective Round-up
Thanks Ant, Neutronbeam, and Max.

Guys, go vote. Please! I don't care who you will be giving your vote, just vote. Make your voice be heard. Okthxbye.

And don't get mad if the other side wins. Because the real slogan for US elections should be:

MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN!
In the current political and social climate, don't be an aggressive monkey . Show that you have evolved that important thin sugar coating called civilization. Don't fall for the fools.

I remember when I got jury duty summons a couple years after I moved out of the US. My mother called the jury duty office up and told them I had moved. I doubt the jury duty person believed her but I recall my mother saying her reply was „well that is certainly far away“

The other time I ducked jury duty is because I openly stated that I cannot trust a police officer to tell the truth. Judge actually thanked me for my honesty and used that to speak to the rest of the potential jurors that they needed to be honest about how or what could sway their opinions. Which is kind of weird, you would want skeptics on your jury, no? Nobody who blindly believes a cop automatically tells the truth just because of his profession?

It doesn’t matter, it was all ages ago now, well before the BLM movement.

So my two little jury duty stories.
Rimmer: “Step up to Red Alert.”
Kryten: “Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.”
