#76: It’s That Time Again

I have been called in three times and three times have cleared voir dire without being selected! On one occasion, I was sitting next to a lady and offered her a dried four-leaf clover I’d found earlier for good luck. Voir dire took three days. By the end of it, of the only four people in the jury pool who hadn’t been examined, two of them were me and the lady with the clover.
She lives in my neighborhood. She still remembers me and now she thinks I’m a witch. Awesome!
The last couple of times I’ve been called for jury duty, I didn’t have a car. And if I got the earliest possible bus, it would get me to the county courthouse an hour and a half after the time I was required to be there. After explaining this to the court clerk, I was exempted.
