Survived the first day but after orientation was part of a group questioned for a week long murder trial (with other charges) the rest of the day. At the end I got excused, either due to my explaining my job and other people just do slide over and cover for me, or some of my answers. Interesting but tricky local case where the guy was a minor at the time but here certain violent offenses are tired as adults. A profession Marshall was spot on about and many or most of the women were had serious concerns if not objections to him being tried as an adult. (Young, easily influenced, brain not fully formed, on and on.) My point on that was to not disagree with those concerns but that doubt that anyone there in the jury pool didn't know at 14 it was wrong to murder someone (shoot them multiple times). I didn't say it there as it would have been inappropriate, but even at that age, if you don't know murder is wrong, you still likely need to be off the street. Anyway, not for debate and get banned, but to say I got off that one and may not have to report back till later in the week.

When asked about LEO relations/connections I said that of two of my oldest friends one was a DEA Special Agent and recently retired area manager, and the other a prosecutor. With the DEA guy, only family have I known longer. Neither one of us remember not knowing each other. That may have been a factor as well. The just lumped us together with hardship and some answers/concerns. Needless to say I've heard their views on the people they have to deal with and it's not positive.I tell them my Dad has a 40 year tenure as a Police Lieutenant. Taught me all I needed to know about recognizing a guilty party.
The Falls of The Ohio in the distance just beyond the old K&I RR bridge. This keep the river from being easily navigable and basically made Louisville a city.
The Kentucky & Indiana Terminal Bridge (K&I Bridge) is a historic railroad bridge spanning the Ohio River, connecting Louisville, KY, to New Albany, IN. Originally built in 1886, it was reconstructed in 1912 to accommodate heavier rail traffic.
Key Features:
- Length: Approximately 6,000 feet (1,830 meters).
- Usage: Primarily a railroad bridge, though it once allowed vehicular traffic.
- Ownership: Maintained by Norfolk Southern Railway.
- Historical Significance: One of the first multi-modal bridges designed for both railway and roadway travel.
While the bridge was once open to cars, public access is now restricted, and it serves exclusively as a railway crossing. Its location aligns with ancient routes like the Great Buffalo Trace, a historically significant path used for thousands of years.
The George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge, also known as the Second Street Bridge is visible.

"I rarely wear underwear, when I do, it's something unusual"
¿Qué es eso?
That scene begins around 4th and Broadway. The bridge is the one the lady in the semi went off the edge and the cab hung there for 30-45 min a year or so ago. She hung there staring straight down at the river that long. I can't imagine. Was not her fault, some goof ran up on someone going. slower and cut over in front of her. I believe they eventually found him.
The RR bridge is pretty cool. For river traffic one whole section not seen raises up, counterbalanced by massive weights. Impressive. I have seen it up and down, but never going up or down. (Driving on I-64 is not a good time to pause and look very much.)
For a few years BM's son was an asst. basketball couch at UofL. Bill used to attend fairly frequently. He was classic funny as many were back then. Saw an article about how he treated women and lost all respect for him. All. Grade A sphincter.

The bridge across the Mississippi at Vicksburg used to carry rail and car traffic. It was narrow, and being on the bridge in a car as a train went by was disconcerting as a kid. The tracks were elevated WRT the roadway, I think. Watching the train rumble by a few inches (probably more, but as a kid it was that close) away was intense. And of course everything shook like crazy, especially as the engines passed.
FWIW, Scarlett Johansson seems to think he's changed.
Triple triode meant for RGB in color sets...for some reason, 7ender used them in some later amps..

Dumb faces I'm makin' at work. Tear it up!
You know, our two current Dodger catchers went to UofL, Will Smith and the recently called up Dalton Rushing. Smith is having a fabulous season so far.
