More more more

Fairbanks was a lot of fun. Very smoky here in Palmer on Friday, bad enough to hide all the mountains, and to really smell like smoke. Caused by a planned, but not entirely planned, so, somewhatwildfire down south. Smoke hid McKinleyDenali on the way up. Played ultimate all day Saturday. My team went undefeated.

Today, changed a plea before a new judge, who sounds to me like Rod Serling, but maybe an octave higher. Client drove a friend's truck a little ways, got pulled over for a broken light. Cops check computor, find the plate's not the right license plate for the truck. Therefore the client must do 30 hours of community service. Also in the sentence, or in the consequences: 30 days of jail (with 30 suspended), three years of probation, $50 "surcharge" to the court, and $100 attorney fee (normally $200, but judge waived half). Just like the Archers said: little things can cost you everything.
