I was sitting in the court room waiting for the judge to get up on to his perch far above the fray taking place on the court room floor. Behind the judge's chair, there is a black and gray granite sculpture, the great seal of the State of Ohio. Every state has a seal. Ohio's seal has a shock of wheat and a shock of arrows standing in the foreground of plowed fields. In the distance is the shining sun either rising or setting behind a range of mountains.
What is so unusual about this?
There are no mountains in Ohio.
In any event, I spoke to my client last night to remind him of the hearing this afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Me: Be there tomorrow afternoon at 1.
Him: 1?
Me: You got it.
Him: That's 1, right?
Me: Yep. 1.
Him: Is that before or after the time change?
Me: What?
Him: The, you know, time change.
Me: What?
Him: You know, Day -- light ... Sa -- vings ... Time.
Me: You know what? Be there at 12.
Him: But that's lunchtime!
Me: Before or after the time change?
Him: What?
Me: Be there at 1, right after lunch.
Sometimes, life can be very difficult.
