Court Day

It was 32 degrees out when I got up.  I built our 4th fire of the season.  But who knows, I might keep this one going.  So far I've just built one fire in the morning, let it burn, and that was it.  It took the chill out of the air.  We are usually hovering around 62 in the house.  The mornings are cooler and the kitchen gets warmer with bread baking.  We are all pretty comfortable. Tintin will still wear shorts. Its harder for us when we go to a building that is at 70 or more.  Too much of a shock for us.

We get to see the new Green County court house today.  Oh boy!!  This should be great fun.  We were at a street fair in Monroe in June of 2008.  We were running a booth for Shakespeare on the Edge. We were in one location.  The director & I went to research some things and left.  When we came back our booth had been moved by the street fair organizers next to the car show and the canopy SOTE had been using blew into a car being shown.  No, I don't know what kind of car, other than it was a new car.  All of a sudden this guy starts yelling at me.   I wasn't even there.  People are crazy!  At this point his insurance has paid it, our insurance did an investigation and said that it was an act of God and no one is liable, and will not pay anything.  Both companies have put in more than the $900 we are being sued for.  Now it goes to the judge.  It will be nice to have this over with.  If we are found at fault our insurance will pay.  Its all pretty stupid.  And Chris needs to stop being a stand up guy!

Last night Chris got his Christmas present from work.  A Poinsettia that is as big as our kitchen table.  Ok, its beautiful, but what am I supposed to do with this thing.  Its a good thing we don't have a tree up.  Maybe it could be our tree.  Use mini ornaments on it.  Chris comes home and puts the plant on the table which obstructs Calli's view of Mythbusters on the TV.  So she goes and sits on Colin's lap. They watched most of the show that way.   These two are frequently at each others throats (figuratively).  It was nice to see them bonding - over TV. 

Nasty topic on that show last night.  One part was "Could you jump into a dumpster from a roof and live?" (yes if it was padded enough.)  The other topic was about the old time deep sea diving breathing suits.  The question was if the air stopped being pumped in, and the emergency valve was not functioning (which happened frequently)  would the pressure of the water around you cause you to implode?  The answer was yes, and it was GROSS.  Education at its best.
