Don't Follow My Lead

Today as my first official day as an unemployed guy, I had to do an American thing.

Jury Duty.

In the earliest versions of my draft on when to leave for my trip I chose May 15 as the target day.  And I was pointing towards that day, untl I receive a letter from the state of Massachusetts telling me I have been summoned to be part of this glorious tradition of judging.

I show up today to the Bristol County Justice Center bright and early, only to be let out just a minute into it.   Since I moved out of Bristol County and into the Norfolk County I no longer have to serve my summons.   I’m now in the pool of jurors of the new county.  What happens if they call me when I’m 8,500 miles away?  Is a bridge I’ll have to cross when/if I get there.

Now without a proper job to do, and with less than 2 weeks from my departure, my posts should be happening daily Monday through Friday.  There will also be pictures of my adventures when appropriate and I’ll be creating an Instagram account to post other pictures that don’t fit in the blogs.

Thanks for reading, and being my companions on this journey.
