Cause and effect
I don't usually get too political, but after yesterday things seem too clear.

Friday...I think....
So. I got a "stipulated dismissal," which means the lawyer finagled it so that I still have to pay up if I can't provide proof that I already paid the bill. Meh, I know I have it; just have to find it ( Read more... )
