I'm glad you got out of the courthouse. I have noticed that wherever
there are larger courts (county), there are lots of bars. Drinking bars,
not legal bars. Often they have clever names like Court Jester. They
usually
have decent food, too.

Heh, bad enough you're stuck there on jury duty, you have an awful
lunch. Luckily in the years since I was first called for duty they have
put up a mall nearby the court so I can kill time and grab lunch. This is
where Ruby Tuesday came in last time, I could sit at a booth and have
salad bar and iced tea, easy on the stomach because who wants to have
digestive issues when you're trapped in the courthouse.

Of course, they have a food court (harrr) there too, but I'm not the food
court type. If I can avoid it.
