Squirrel under my car

In the morning drive south of the Illinois border. Walk north into Wisconsin. Walk up to 122nd Street. Walk east a bit. Walk south. Walk back to my car. At the end of the walk see a squirrel hiding under my car. It seems to be reaching up to tug at something under my car. Then it runs off. Drive home. At night watch the Packers beat up on the Seattle Seahawks.

Ornament by Ayla

In the morning drive to the courthouse. Do a pre-trial hearing. Drive home. Lay on the couch and watch cartoons. Also watch a Youtube video concerning The Reconquista.

It is also really fucking cold too.

Stuck in a dank corner

In the morning walk to the office. Work for a while. Walk home. Drive to the jail. Go in for consultations. The courthouse cafe is closed down. That is crazy.

Fires up on demand

Cooperating with the defense

In the morning drive to the courthouse. Go in for a bunch of hearings. There all morning. Drive home. Do a phone consultation with a witness for one of my cases that is in prison but is cooperating with the defense!! Decide that I worked hard enough this week so skip going to the office.
