It Was 30 Years Ago Today

30 years ago (give or take a year) the Travis County Courthouse where I regularly worked as a lawyer went from a public building with up to 6 entrances (if memory serves) to one with two entrances.  Both required going through a metal detector.  I suddenly had to add to my scheduled court appearances the time it took to go through a metal detector and then get upstairs from the basement, where the entrances now were.

I've been to the Harris County Courthouse twice in recent years, both for probate matters (as a client, not a lawyer).  Both times I not only had to plan on the time it would take to find a parking space, but to get through the metal detectors, too.  And I had to learn to leave my pocket knife at home, and off my key ring.

What are these assholes whining about?

  1. I've slept on the floor but sleeping on a marble floor without a pad or a blanket, that's rough. And with the lights on. Damned Republicans,damned fascists.
