I try to be a good little lawyer and get to court on time; so, I arrived to the courtroom, after clearing security, this morning at 8:35 for a 9 o'clock hearing. The courtroom was dark. The bailiff came in at about 8:45 and told me there was a weather delay, and we wouldn't be starting until 10.
There was no additional snow from yesterday morning. The temperature was 20 degrees, which is not unusual for this time of year. This is not someplace like Raleigh, North Carolina, or another southern city, where people panic at the thought of a little snow or freezing rain. This is Cleveland. Rough around the edges. Tough. Or is that bullshit?
The bailiff told me that the delay was announced and broadcast on the news last night and this morning -- with the school closings. School closings?
What the fuck is that all about. School closings?
This isn't school. I don't have kids in school any more.
And I don't watch the news anymore. Too fucking depressing. I get all the information I need by reading post-apocalyptic graphic novels.
