dome-tastic

I just don't have a ton to say while on Jury Duty. That could be because I am not allowed to say anything...also because the day is pretty boring. Either way, the only interesting thing I have done so far today, was to meet Nolan and Brandon during lunch and take a tour of City Hall (which is beautiful!), and then go to an Indian buffet, before trudging back to the courthouse, boo.

Interesting fact of the day: the dome on San Francisco's City Hall is the 5th largest dome in the world, and the largest in our country. As you know, no state capitol can build a dome bigger than the one on the National Capitol. As you also know, San Francisco is technically not a state capitol (though I believe it was for a very short time), and dearly loves to give the proverbial middle finger to "The Man" in any way possible. Hence, our dome that is just a fraction bigger than the Capitol's. Heh. Behold:


Tomorrow I have duty til noon, then to work til 3:30, then up to Placerville to meet up with ylehsa and take Nolan to his motorcycle class. Watch out, he'll have his license by Sunday. Now we just have to work on getting him an actual bike...or maybe that should wait until after he goes on this trip. If they make it back alive. Hmm.
