The courthouse is always busy during the court sessions here, there's a
huge parking lot behind the justice center for jurors, and the downtown area shops and cafes depend on them to succeed. Used to be tobacco, now it's talcum powder that's got all the lawyers looking at fat city in the future.

I would like to serve on a jury sometime just for the experience of it.
I have been summoned twice. The first time, it was for a case of a gas station robbery. I told the judge my father's gas station had been robbed a few months prior. The jury was filled before they got to me. The second time, we never got summoned. All the cases were settled.

Re: Kabu,
I'll let you know how it works out, of course.

Re: CCT,
I've recently started taking a statin and this side effect, apparently, is not uncommon. One of the suggestions I got was to increase my Coenzyme Q10 that cells need to function, and lack of which can contribute to the cramps. Elders like us tend to lose the ability to synthesize this CoQ10, so supplements are useful. I'll let you know if it works. Quinine was also mentioned.

Well when you find a cure for leg cramp let me know please. There used to be some tablets called Crampex . They were about £4-50 a box but they now seem unavailable. Well I did see a small boxful on Amazon priced £74 . I should Co-co. Arthur keeps telling me that one must stretch something in the back of the legs. If I remember I stand on the bottom stair and lower my ankles holding onto the rails of course. Or I if I can stand it I drink a bottle of tonic water with quinine .

Something I have never done, Jury duty. Son #1 has and it was a big trial but he said they spent hours stuck in their room while the lawyers and judge decided on this and that. He never would say what it was about.
