Day One in Concord District Court.
Its Jury Selection Day. Its funny.. The day provided me some humor that reminded me of an old joke called "Fortunate/Unfortunate".....
It felt like.. fortunately, I had free parking ticket for the garage the court uses, unfortunately, the garage was 3 blocks away from the court house, fortunately, it was a sunny day, unfortunately the first hill to walk up was very steep......
All joking aside, it wasn't that bad. After I got to the court house and went through the obligatory security screening, I was very impressed with this fairly new, large, impressive building. It had a nice appealing architecture. The guards were very pleasant and I was directed to a large set of open double doors at the end of the large, long entrance way.
Since I am an early bird anyway, there was only 2 other people already seated in a very large auditorium. It appeared to be large enough to accommodate 200+ seated people, so I assuming they were expecting a very large turnout. 3/4 of the room was filled with 4 and 6 person tables and chairs, with several long rows of auditorium type seating in the front of the room, all facing 3 very large LCD flat screens on the wall, all currently tuned to CNN.
After checking in at the appropriate "window" and having my attendance properly recorded, I got a cup of coffee and proceeded to "people watch" as the official start time was about 90 minutes away....
"To be continued"...
soon..
