Yet another installation of Quirky Drivers and Their Issues. Huge mirror people - We are never really sure what they could possibly haul that would present the need for such huge mirrors. These mirrors are the type that poke out so far from the sides of the car/truck that that the vehicle actually take flight. …

The 7th Semester
Well today I started my seventh semester of law school. I am, of course, counting those summer terms I've attended over the past three summers - this one being the third and final, thankfully. This term I have two 2-hour classes, one a skills class and one about legal ethics. Yes, they really do teach …
Annoying Work Sayings
There are some truly annoying sayings that people must read in those self-help management books or get from motivational speakers. I've listed a few below. 1. Let's Run the Bases - This saying usually comes out when new ideas have been passed around and the boss wants to see which one is going to fail. …
My Mom’s Keys
When I was a kid, my mom and I went shopping pretty regularly. Most of the time, it was for groceries or something boring, but occasionally it was for clothes, school supplies (which I loved because I was a nerd) or something really exciting like Christmas shopping. Regardless, if we got separated in the store, …
Rational Basis Theory
Another mind-boggling concept of law is the rational basis theory. Basically, a lot of laws are drawn up and enforced in this manner. There are three different theories under which to judge whether a particular law is constitutional. One is strict scrutiny, where a law has to pass a very tough test to make sure …
The Reasonable Man
In law school, one of the first things you learn is the mantra, "What would a reasonable man do?". It's driven into your brain the first torts class, and it never goes away. It's a basic rule of law that demonstrates how something should be judged. For instance, a man should be judged (in most …
Clothes that Fit
Well, today we went to the park to walk the dog (princess) and to get outside for a bit. It was nice, even if it was quite warm. We stopped many times to give Moxie a drink of water and rest her short little legs, and then we journeyed on our way. The trail is …
Worth it?
I ask myself this on a regular basis, but more so right before the start of a new semester. Is this really worth it? By "this", I mean law school of course. The thing for which I'm paying thousands of dollars, spending countless hours, with no real payback guarantee. Yes, I will have an education, …
Quirky or Just Plain Bad Drivers, Part 2
And now for another edition of the quirky/bad drivers we all encounter on a daily basis… 1. Decorated mud flap people – These people have the shiny, metallic leaning-back female (apparently nude) or a creature (like a dog) on their mudflaps. Now, mudflaps are not meant to be decorative, as far as I know, but …
I knew I shouldn’t have. I knew I would spend immense amounts of time on it. I told myself over and over – don’t do it. Then a friend told me how much fun she had on it. She didn’t tell me until after I’d signed up that she had to limit herself to 2 …
