9:45 AM Saturday, September 11, 2004

We've postponed the garage sale. The new date, October 1-2-3 is 99% carved in stone and baring a catastrophe, will not be changed. We've changed the date for several reasons: 1. (obviously) I will not be ready. 2. The weather forecast is for rain and more rain. 3. Phil will be initiated into the Moose Saturday, September 11th. 4. We've been invited to attend a birthday dinner for our friend, Les on Monday, September 13th. 5. Phil will be indoctrinated into the Elks on Wednesday, September 15th. And, on top of all that, we've been subpoenaed to testify in an assault trial we witnessed out the window of our motorhome a week after we parked in the driveway (two drunks arguing and one ran over the other with his pickup ... luckily, no life threatening injuries were sustained but there certainly could have been and we didn't know that at the time). Phil called the police and evidently, we are the only hope of the prosecution, because the officer we talked to told us if we didn't testify, the "perp" (I've been watching entirely too much TV ... HA!) will walk. However, they can't firm up on a trial date so we've had to call in every other day to see when they will need us. The latest we've been told is they are asking for a continuation because one of the arresting officers is unavailable at this time. I'm wondering why don't they subpoena him? We certainly didn't have a choice about whether we could be there or not! Oh well, I've read somewhere that the wheels of justice turn very slowly ... this I believe!
