What's odd is that the Hallmark channel started showing a week-long Love Bug
marathon this week, and MrsBlue and I just watched the first one last night. Of
course so close to the passing of Katherine Hepburn, we are sure to hear some of
that "they go in threes" stuff, but I don't imagine that that theory
stands up to much scientific examination.

Judge Kent has been a hoot for a long, long time. My personal favorite selection from is his ruling on a change of venue request from Colonial Penn Life Insurance.
"Defendant should be assured that it is not embarking on a three-week-long trip via covered wagons when it travels to Galveston. Rather, Defendant will be pleased to discover that the highway is paved and lighted all the way to Galveston, and thanks to the efforts of this Court's predecessor, Judge Roy Bean, the trip should be free of rustlers, hooligans, or vicious varmints of unsavory kind."
