Just back from a drive up to Farm Country for what should have been the final hearing on a long-pending case up there.  Three hours round trip in Nissantruck through some of Southern California’s most scenic highway construction projects listening to media vultures do what media vultures do.  Even though this hearing has been pending since 2006, someone wasn’t capable of subpoenaing her witnesses, or coping with the absence of someone she thinks might salvage her clients’ case, so for some reason [editorial restraint inserted] we’re continued until Friday.   This is one of those days when I consider dumping it all and becoming a poolboy myself – certainly ashamed to be lumped in with her as an attorney.
