Yesterday it rained. Today it rained. Tonight it may rain. Tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny and cool. Tomorrow is Foreclosure Day and we will be travelling through the mountains. I mean "I" of course. Kate will be driving east and Patti will be motoring in a circle to the west and south of here.
Wednesday, we return to the courthouse for civil matters. I am supposed to start a case at trial on Wednesday. I am in somewhat of a pickle, in the sense that I need for this case to go away and start over again in a new manifestation. It took me a month of thinking about the trial of the case before I figured out the problem with the case from the beginning.
Sometimes it takes me some time before I finally figure out the basis of the case. In this particular case, the lawyer for the plaintiff wanted to avoid trying the case in front of the assigned judge. So he recast the complaint and had it tried before one of the other judges. The problem is that there is no reason why the case should be retried. It was tried before. He is doing a bit of forum shopping.
He is also trying to recast the case to get more in damages. The problem is that the res of the case makes certain requirements on the parties. He really can't do what he wants to do. It is my duty to convince the judge of that conclusion.
But tomorrow is Hillbilly Dispossession Day. So I sleep early and get on the horse first thing in the morning. The three horsemen ride tomorrow.
