waiting in the lobby

It seems ironic that the bust of the man

the place is named after has been 

relegated to the row of free periodicals.

Poor Morris.

jury duty waiting room... ceiling

If you've had jury duty in Tucson during

the past 10 years or so, you'll recognize

these enormous, beehive light fixtures.

jury duty

Hiya, Peeps! I have yet to figure out

how to get a decent scan or even a 

decent photo of a pencil sketch, so 

I suppose this will have to do. 

 

Last time I had jury duty, it entailed

a delightful lunch downtown and six

hours of waiting in a fairly uncomfortable chair 

which was, however, located in a sunny patch 

of winter light. I was never selected for 

a jury, so I headed home after learning from 

a fellow waitee that America's Test Kitchen 

has a superior recipe for crunchy-but-chewy 

gingerbread cookies. True, but make sure you cut 

the cooking time in half. The six hours was well

worth finding a good recipe, but as you can

see in the sketch, I grew tired of the waiting.
