Tucker sucks

Last night, after waiting for a company to send me a closing package without result, I drove up to Dunwoody to spend the evening with Mom and Dad. This morning, Momma fixed me more breakfast than I normally consume, and then headed over to the Justice Center in Gwinnett County for an arraignment hearing. I arrived at 7:40 a.m. and waited for eight to meet with client. We got together around 8:00 a.m. and entered the security section of the Gwinnett County Justice Center. After muddling through the security section, we walked up to the second floor and waited for the bailiffs to open the door to the courtroom. After waiting about thirty minutes for that, the baillif did open the door and everyone entered. After sitting for awhile, I approached one of the solicitors and talked about the case. We entered a not guilty plea and left before court started in earnest.

At this point, I reentered my car and headed down the road from Lawrenceville to Lilburn and on toTucker. As I entered the city of Tucker, I noticed that they had removed the sign on the side of the road which talked about Tucker High School's valiant football team (Tucker sucks!). I was quite pleased with this, and then noticed that the radio station was playing Brewer & Shipley's "One Toke Over the Line." That is one of my favorite songs. As I maneuvered around the twisting road through downtown Tucker, I noticed that a building which housed a bike store when I was a little kid of nine, still housed a bike store. Forty two years later. I was surprised. I called John Boswell, but his line was busy. I called Cindy and informed her of what I had found. She asked if they had replaced the aforementioned sign with a "Tucker Sucks" sign. I answered "no" and opined that it would be amazing if the Tucker Chamber of Commerce were willing to hoist such a sign in the city limits.

We had a laugh together.
