The Editor apologizes for the delay in posting photos and stories in regards to the recently completed Racers Over Stead 2009 issue. The Editor had to be in Court the following day to face Misdemeanor Trespass charges. That matter has been continued until October 28, 2009, as an Emergency occurred during Bench Trial that the Judge had to address.
You'll see Sunday's results posted below and shortly hereafter, you will see Saturday's images addes to those.
And OH MY GOD!
I actually have something nice to say about someone from Jones Vargas Law Firm! So you'll want to stay tuned for my report as it (begins just below) and yesterday's hearings.
Judge James Van Winkle once again refused appointment of counsel claiming that I did not fill out an application for one. I will refrain from commentary on that issue but will indicate that I am proceeding forward now with a Federal complaint in regards to Civil Rights violations in regards to this very issue. I was also not canvassed by either Judge to see whether or not I was capable of representing myself as an In Pro Per.
That is a requirement of Law.
Additionally, I was not appointed an ADA representative. The requirement for an ADA representative is founded on a Supreme Court decision which strengthened the Rights of the Disabled under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
The City has rested its case and now I must decide whether or not to testify in the matter, particularly as I have a 5th Amendment Right against self incrimination. The 5th is not an issue in this case and I have decided to testify.
Potential perjury by Mr. Steve Silva, Director of Security for RARA, was noted and action will be taken in that regards. If I am correct, this would make the third individual from RARA to commit perjury in these two, Misdemeanor Trespass cases, the first two being Michael J. "Mickey Da Rat" Houghton and Deputy Police Chief (now retired) Tom "Tom Terrific" Robinson.
If their cases are so good, why lie?
Sorry that my mobster name for Robinson is not as menacing as one should be ~ he really is a glamorous crook for a man and very affable, despite his wicked ways.
So, I'll see if I can come up with another mobster name, manana. "Tom Terrific" covers his bearing and is actually meant as a form of compliment while at the same time, mocking, but it doesn't cover "that man behind the curtain." Guys that violate your Civil Rights are not that "Terrific," in other words.
As of yesterday, I have also testified and stipulated in regards to the issues that are critical to the City's case that 1) I was served via hand delivery by the Jones Vargas Law Firm with the "Notice to Exclude," and 2) I was served and received by Certified Mail, the same "Notice to Exclude." The City has also shown that I was seen on what they describe as "Event Property" on the day in question, June 19, 2009. We released a witness without his having to testify to these things as they are the Truth anyhow. And yes, whether it hurts my case or not, everyone is entitled to the Truth and a Court is entitled to minimizing the amount of time that is wasted in Court by game playing, trickery and deceiptful tactics.
It was the right thing to do.
"Round Robin" arguments not with standing!
They have the basic elements to prove their case of Misdemeanor Trespass, let there be no doubt. The only questions remaining are whether I had a "right to be there" as a Journalist and as a businessman, and whether the Notice to Exclude is a Lawful document, particularly absent the grounds for the exclusion and the lack of information in regards to the boundaries from which I was allegedly excluded.
Now we have this issue of whether or not the Airport is in the City of Reno and under Reno P.D. jurisdiction, or under State Control by State Law that established the AAWC, now known as the Reno Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA), and with that sign above hanging on the fence indicating No Trespassing and citing NRS, then it's clear that Reno P.D. have no jurisdiction. See the photo and caption above for a fuller discourse on these events.
Do not be mistaken ~ the Reno P.D. Officer did not perjure himself ~ he was merely mistaken, as are a number of people about "whom" has jurisdiction over Stead Airport. The correct information is "County" and RTAA "Airport Police."
Add to all these issues, the ramp area was unmarked save, for the Pits, which were located and according to Silva in Court yesterday, "roped off," while the main ramp wasn't, and to their "Ramp Security Personnel," a guy in an orange vest, he didn't stop us from going in and in fact, once again, we were waved in without being stopped.
As for me, I thought he was with a construction crew as I didn't see the word "RARA" on his vest, but his back was away from us and it may have been there. It was established that Airport Operations created the boundaries of the event and informed RARA of the same. During my time on the field, I saw no Airport operations personnel or vehicles. Silva confirmed that the main ramp was not roped off.
As I pointed out in Court yesterday, there is no such thing as a "Notice to Exclude" in Law. There are "Temporary Restraining Orders (T.R.O.), Extended Restraining Orders (E.R.O.)," but no "Notice to Exclude." When they go for a T.R.O. or an E.R.O., I can challenge. I can prove them wrong and win the day in Court doing so.
T.R.O.'s and E.R.O.'s contained specific information as to the boundaries of restraint, and addresses as necessary, and the supporting statements contain the allegations against the individual, along with a Court date to give the "Restrained" the opportunity to defend themselves and their actions, along with a date, time, Court, etc. "Due Process," in other words, which RARA's "Notice to Exclude," as prepared at their request by Jones Vargas Law Firm, totally omits creating a Civil Rights violation involving Due Process of Law.
A "Notice to Exclude" is a fabrication and as employed by Houghton and RARA, a worthless, meaningless document, not worth the paper it's written on (and Jones Vargas has NICE stationary ~ the really expensive stuff ~ pad your bill to RARA, Jones Vargas guys!), particularly when absent grounds and the boundaries of exclusion that are normally contained in both a T.R.O. and an E.R.O.
Therefore, the RARA document is arbitrary in nature, has no method or means of Due Process for a Defender to challenge and contains no means of appeal. One has no other choice, then, to challenge it on the surface, and then in Court, which we will do at Municipal level, in Appeals, and we will do at Federal level, no matter what the outcome at Municipal or Appellate levels at State, in the Federal District Court system.
I have an Attorney standing by for that effort. We're informed of, have accepted the terms of and are working on the retainer.
Though Discovery is closed, there are post Discovery issues that have arisen, including a confrontation that occurred with Michael J. "Mickey Da Rat" Houghton on Saturday, September 12, 2009, and issues that developed in Court yesterday, primarily based on the testimony in regards to three of four witnesses presented by the City of Reno, one of them committing perjury.
John P. Sande IV told the "Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth," and we have no issues, only praise for him. This Editor feels the Reno P.D. Officer testified to the best of his memory, information, knowledge and belief, and he have praise for him, but we may need to ask a few more clarifying questions, or not, based on the Perjury issue of the final witness. We anticipate getting a Special Order to call in more witnesses for rebuttal, based on the fact that testimony occurred reportedly, after close of Discovery.
The process server was released by our stipulations and never needed to testify nor will again in this matter. He did his service to the best of his ability and did a service for Justice in the process, literally and figuratively speaking, and we have no problem with his work, only the issue of what he served, the defective Notice to Exclude, which traces back to Jones Vargas and RARA's instructions to them, plus their advice to RARA and knowledge of the Laws regarding Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), Department of Defense (DoD) regulations, and ultimately, the FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) terms, conditions and applicable regulations, and there are many.
If Jones Vargas did not properly advise RARA as to their lawful responsibilities, then RARA has plausible deniability in regards to having knowledge that they violated the Law.
In regards to praising witnesses that spoke Truthfully, topping the list is young John P. Sande IV, the son of John P. Sande III, both Attorneys for Jones Vargas, and "like Father, like Son," but in this case, vice versa also rings true. The Father gains much admiration from me for the good conduct of his son yesterday in providing Truthful testmony and without compromising Attorney-Client priviledge, a matter of Attorney ethics. Just like with us Journalists and our ethics.
This young man was of such a fine caliber that he even came over and thanked me for my service as a Veteran, something that is very rare to all Veterans everywhere ~ globally, in fact ~ and he expressed his regrets over the proceedings through the years of this controversy, stating that "I know you love Air Racing very much."
Of course, we must all recognize that he has his job to do and a client to do it for, and as I'm only interested in the guilty, not in persecuting the innocent, this man will receive the credit he is due, and not any misguided animous.
Coming from my adversaries, that last statement meant as much to me as the first, because I'm up to my ears in another kind of "War" where I have few friends, few allies and I'm basically alone in this fight, because folks want to stay disinvolved and primarily because of the fear and initimdation factor coming from the Reno Air Race Association and the Air Race Nazis there.
I have my silent supporters and they are legion, but must remain silent ~ and I know that just as well as they do ~ because of the retaliations and fear factor eminating from high-up horses pa-toot-ies in the RARA hangar headquarters. I advise you all to remain silent and continue on with your good work and efforts in Air Racing.
As for Sande III, I can only speak in glowing terms of this young man for his conduct yesterday, his professional appearance overall, and his honest and candid remarks made as the result of questioning that is very difficult for an Attorney to provide, based on Attorney-Client priviledge. Some would say that I should have moved to disqualify him, however, his honesty shone through yesterday and his answers helped my case as much as it did theirs, simply based on the fact he did not lie as others among his ilk have and would.
In other words, he did not foolishly release information that hurt his clients cause, and I respect that ~ he merely answered Truthfully as to what he knew, and that's all we ask of our neighbors as witnesses, particularly where we, the accused, have our Freedoms threatened by incarceration, whatever the act "We The People" are accused of, individually or as a group.
Cudos to John P. Sande IV for raising a son this good. Cudos to John P. Sande III, for being a son that a father can truly be proud of and furthermore, that an entire Legal system can point to and say: "Hey! Look at this young man before you criticize! Whatever our mistakes, we're obviously doing something good here, too!"
I did thank him for his honest testimony ~ and do report to you ~ in regards to what a splendid witness he was. Conduct of the highest caliber of professional conduct. He kept it simple. He told the Truth.
Score one for Jones Vargas!
He also straightened me out to that Roman Numeral thing with his Dad. I thought John Sr. was trying to keep me off balance by changing his Roman Numeral (IV) back and forth from III.
Nope!
He has a son following in his footsteps and what a pleasure this young man was to meet.
That being said, what a pain in the ass (!!!), because I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT!
They're not supposed to be NICE when I'm trying to PICK ON THEM over the ridiculous conduct of their clients!
All joking aside, the conduct of the Attorneys I saw yesterday was some of the best I've seen in my life, and I'm 53 years of age. Renewed my hope for our Justice system and my children's and grandchildren's future with and in that system. Renewed, quite frankly, my hope for all of you.
Thus, my contacts with opposing Counsel were extraordinary and reminded me of my earlier dealings with Deputy City Attorney, Henry Sotelo, whom opposing Counsel and I did discuss after the hearing. Henry, whom is a Prince of a man, has moved on into private practice and that is one Attorney I can recommend to any of you, if you need an Attorney, in regards to his professional conduct.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure where he's practicing, but I can damned well recommend him!
Likewise, the man filling his shoes in this trial displayed the same professional conduct as the man I call a "Prince!" Neutral, impartial as to his own beliefs, affable, kind, willing to listen and share, but fiercely loyal to and representing his client, the City of Reno, and their case in this dispute between the Reno Air Race Association and myself, Christopher Hazlett Stevens is one of the finest Attorneys I've met to date and folks, I have met a few.
And I'll add for "Point of Information:" not all of those encounters were my fault!
Deputy City Attorney Stevens simply does his job. He doesn't hold grudges, he doesn't try character assassination ~ you are what you have made of yourself ~ and like Sotelo before him, he is a man who inspires fellowship in other men who stand among him, even his adversaries.
Very impressive work by him yesterday.
I arrived at Court yesterday, relaxed, having walked and photographed the Truckee for the first time in years, as it winds its way though Cottonwood Trees and historic neighborhoods west of Downtown Reno, but none the less, I arrived with a really "piss poor" attitude. The Deputy City Attorney, even as my opponent, lifted my spirits up and got me on track, and I had a good day in court yesterday despite all appearances and that feeling that I was a "marked man" (which sucks when your name is "Mark") like Cain, and potentially bound to lose a case that must be won.
Like Sotelo, who believes in his Ethics as an Attorney, the Deputy City Attorney honored his committment to a State Bar that doesn't even honor its own committments, and provided outreach to the "In Pro Per" whose struggles might delay the smooth processing of a Court case, something that is required by a Code that Attorneys like Sotelo and Stevens hold dear and still enforce within themselves. Honor, integrity, dignity, their haulmarks.
These are not "Horror story, worst-case scenario" Attorneys that we poke fun at using imaginary sinking ships, but these are men of Justice, Law and Order. When they call these men "Esquire" they are of that Class that deserves to be honored with such titles. Good men, rare men, often hard to find, but when you do, even in your worst moments, they bring out the best in you and yesterday, I needed their qualities about me to stand up and fight lesser men, who pretend to be greater men, but by their conduct, they are betrayed ~ they betray themselves.
Guys like Sotelo and Stevens we call "Esquire" and "Attorney-at-Law," deserved titles.
Guys like Houghton, Silva and Scolari, I call "Mickey Da Rat," "Da Snake" (and boy did he live up to his name yesterday!) and "Joey Da Perve." Their conduct betrays them.
The other witnesses included Officer York, the Reno Police Officer who conducted the arrest, and whom I thanked for his conduct and kindness during that arrest.
And of course, I'll save the worst for last, Steve Silva, the man who signed the complaint on behalf of RARA. I found his perjury rather interesting, but not as interesting as the fact that when I asked if he was aware that I was a Journalist, he said, "if you call that journalism."
Well, Snake, it seems to me that I've been at RARA's case since 2002, and every accusation made has gone undenied by them. And I've nailed them on quite a few items. So, thanks for the memories, boy:
__________
Houghton (poking his finger in my stomach): "I know Journalists ~ you're not a real Journalist!"
Daniels (finding it ironic that the man who lied about John Parker was now the Prince of Ethics) ~ "That's okay! You're not a real Air Race!"
__________
Send your friend Joey "Da Perve" my regards, and your boss Bill "Deep Throat" Eck (rhymes with Yeccccck!"), my salutations. Or, to simplify things for yourself, you can pull my finger and pray that farts don't have lumps.
Or, in other words, to hell with you. No, actually, those ARE the words!
And instead, let us not forget John P. Sande III, for mention of his fine conduct yesterday.
I kid you not! "Win or lose, Get Out of Jail Free Card or Six Months imprisonment," all be damned!
Yesterday was one of the best that I have experienced to date in a Court of Law, in what may yet be a "losing effort" with even harsher penalties waiting for me at the end of this trial than ever before in any other case that has involved me as a Defendant.
I say it again: yesterday was one of the best experiences of my life in a Court of Law. Matters not, whether I'm happy with the Judge over the issues of Appointment of Counsel, canvassing, ADA Representatives, overruling my objects, etc., etc., etc.
I say it one last time: based on the conduct of Deputy City Attorney Stevens and Jones Vargas Law Firm's John P. Sande III, yesterday was one of the best experiences of my life in a Court of Law.
Now, the good news in regards to yesterday's hearings was threefold. I got to see someone that I have not seen in years, beyond meeting and interacting with the two Attorneys I just hailed with great admiration and respect!
I got to see Cathy Foss-Stahl in Court yesterday!
No, she was not a witness...
Poor Cathy ( * SEE Below) had a speeding ticket which she was going to contest, however, the Court made her an offer that she couldn't refuse and that matter is now at closure. A good thing and a fine (as in better than good, not the monetary fine, though Cathy did incur one...much reduced!) offer, and such an offer could not have been made to a better person. A Sweet Girl whom all the Air Racers who've campaigned at Reno within the last decade, I'm sure, remember well!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE:
* Editor's viewpoint, not Cathy's ~ if they don't want us to speed, then 1) why does Detroit sell us a gas pedal WITH the car!?
2) Why do oil companies sell us High Octane Premium at VP Racing Fuels stations?
3) Why do VP Racing fuels name their gasolines Rare Bear (Reserved for Law Enforcement vehicles), Dago Red, Voodoo, Strega and "Air Biscuit (Diesel)"!?
4) Why are Grand Prix Races held on City streets!?
5) Why is it that OPEC and the Reno P.D. Traffic Division are listed "one" and "two" on the Fortune 500 list
6) Why, on God's Green Earth (!!??), do Ford, Dodge and Chevrolet claim that they hire professional drivers to do what I did just last Tuesday in a crowded (before I arrived there) school zone on two wheels with my door handle scraping!?
I'm telling you!
There is NO justice!
...but don't you just LOVE the way a Journalist's Mind thinks!!??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Especially since Cathy was the main reason why they showed up to race, in my honest opinion!
But what are the odds!? That Cathy and I would be in the same Court on the same day before the same Judge, on totally different issues? Her name was listed directly beneath mine on the illuminated Court calendar outside the door, and for a moment, I thought she was a witness in my case. Then I saw I didn't recognize the other names on the list and realized we all had cases about to be heard!
Cathy has been doing very well since leaving the RARA a number of years ago, and has been working as a Publisher of an online Fashion magazine or "E-zine" on the internet, and now is working as a Writing Consultant to others in the same field. To watch someone step out of the shadows of such a "Good Ol' Boyz" club and be successful on their own merits is awe inspiring to say the least, but none the less, not surprising.
Imagine how successful Air Racing would be if it stepped out from under RARA's diabolical shadow. They have the power to do it, all they need to do is to reorganize all the Classes and Support functions into one, cohesive, group. Easier said than done, but "do-able!" Air Racing is ready for it!
And though the Unlimiteds know that they are the draw, the new Unlimiteds have the saavy to understand the power held by the other Classes. As Aesop fortold, there is always that day when the Lion needs help with a thorn from the mouse.
I'll be talking about that issue over the off season at a new website.
Frankly, I'm thoroughly amazed that no man has landed Cathy Foss-Stahl, however, I think its pretty obvious that after her experiences at RARA, she's wise to us all. And likely was before! Your choice:
Beautiful, petite, Marilyn Monroe with all that heart ~ and brains to boot ~ she epitomizes the dream of the Liberated Woman as it existed back in the sixties, despite the fact that women who should be Liberated in their lifestyles have once again fallen prey to old, lecherous, male scheming.
Cathy is the proverbial woman who complains about having a "bad hair day" who could not have a "bad hair day" if she shaved her head bald and stuck it in a Tornado. She is the candle and the flame. She is a presence among all men who stands out in the pale male crowd, and lives her life as a result, as an inspiration to all women and in awe of the "Gentleman."
If it's true that "a face could launch a thousand ships," there is not enough ocean in this World to handle Cathy's veritable fleet of "Tall Ships." And to paraphrase a selected Haiku, "One could sail forever on a sea of her smiles."
She does not bond with men, rather, she inspires love of life in all of them. And these good men stand watch on the decks of those fast ships, sails and hearts filled to overflowing.
I would go as far as to say that when it comes to this sorry World of Men, she is, as Eve was meant to be, "God's gift in a Girl Suit!"
Cathy and I didn't talk about RARA, we had too many other good memories of friends and work to share. We probably never will speak of "The Troubles." I didn't broach the subject as to what she went through, already having too many other sources with tales of her struggle. She only broached the subject of why continue to fight when few come to my support.
Though she seemed very sad yesterday, at a time when she was the "sweet icing on a cake" presented to me by two men's good conduct, she had her "Publisher's cap" on and was hitting me with soulful questions. Most along the theme of "Why continue the fight," and not in the negative, but rather, from the cause of the inquisitive.
Why? Why? Why? When the odds are stacked against you...
I love it when Journalists ask other Journalists a "Journalist's Questions!"
The primary answer which covers all: "These are not good men and they and their misconduct have to be stood up against and fought."
Truth be told, though, there was a better answer.
I fight for Cathy and others like her. Those whom are abandoned to the wolves whom no one will stand, fight for and protect. She is the Mother of two fine children who are now, probably approaching their teens, if not at the beginning of their teen years. Life, for her, has been a struggle, but a successful struggle, even though there will always be times when she herself, will wonder about that.
I know what RARA did to her ~ and that's just through a multitude of outside sources. Until yesterday, I hadn't seen Cathy in over five years nor have I spoken with her.
I know what RARA does to others. I know that most are incapable of defending themselves against the "Air Race Nazis," pudknockers that the latter are. That's because RARA and its Air Race Nazis have wicked, evil, devious minds, and the good men and women that come up against the Air Race Nazis, aren't prepared for that, can't make the adjustment, or won't make the adjustment and lower their standards to cope with and/or fight the enemy on his level.
They just want to race ~ they don't want to be a part of an Air Race Nazi Horror Story and its sad ending. Unfortunately for them, the Air Race Nazis have the only game in town for Air Racing and are holding it hostage, shaking it down for money on an Annual basis.
They cannot fight such a despicable enemy because they cannot "be the enemy" to come to grips with how to defeat their enemy. They don't have it within themselves. Beyond that, the souls of the defenseless innocent are "too good" to allow themselves to lower their standards, to learn how their enemy operates, exploit his weaknesses, and vanquish him before "he vanquishes you."
The sad, side effect, is that others fall by the wayside who need support, but everyone becomes too afraid or too worn out from fighting, to fight and/or continue fighting as applicable. The few that don't care are just that ~ a meager few ~ while the others stand by and hope for a better day and progress towards that end through other works.
I know the hearts of these "Not so men" in RARA's leadership. These cowardly, yellow, prissy little school girls like Houghton, Eck, Gribbin, and my current "Jerk du Jour," Joey "Da Perve" Scolari, now nearly a half-million dollars poorer for his Sexual Harassment antics at his not-so-super "Supermarkets." (Frankly, he belongs on a Sexual Predators List!" ~ 19 women minimum, harassed, ages ranging from 16 to 30! One manager reportedly still "On the Lam."
No Excuse!)
I know the Traitor Generals on the RARA Board. Generals supporting a man that never served a day in the military, while approving discrimination against veterans and disabled veterans, while simultaneously profiting from Department of Defense (DoD) interests in providing military personnel, along with static and flying displays, for the RARA Private Flying Club's Air Show.
Waving the flag while violating the Laws against the People who made it possible for them to have a flag to wave. The Soldier, The Sailor, The Airman, The Marine, The Coast Guardsman, and even those boys and girls in the Civil Air Patrol, and the other Auxilliaries, who now provide Homeland security services and train for Active, as well as Reserve and National Guard Duty opportunities.
The very people they and others "unlike" them commanded.
They wave their flags, forget their oaths (right, Snake!?), playing a faux patriotic game of honring the Military and Veterans, but "never mind that man being hauled away by the Reno P.D. and the fact that he's a Disabled Veteran with Civil and Human Rights. We're going to claim he's threatening us, not defending himself and others from us Air Race Nazis, and that he's seeking 'violent confrontations' by twisting his words, rather than confronting us non-violently for all our wrongdoing."
As to her questions, I told Cathy yesterday that "Houghton has always been Machiavellian," wherein, "the ends justifies the means." I told her that Houghton hasn't learned the greater lesson, that according to Sir Thomas Moore in his manuscript, "Utopia," ~ "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility" ~ and that guys like Houghton have "failed to learn that you can have all the money in the World, all the power in the World, to do all the Evil in the World you choose to perpetrate, but a true Man of power refrains from using his power in unjust causes and for personal gain, and perpetrates good, not evil."
Words to that effect...
Mr. Houghton and his ilk have indeed, failed to learn these things. That is their Achilles' Heel.
Morals, ethics and values, are those things in the other guy that Houghton and his Air Race Nazis go out of their way to exploit. "Morals," to Houghton, are paintings on walls; "Ethics" are something you blow off and mockingly say "Gesundheit" to, "Values" are the people you've bought and "Scruples" are devalued money in Russia that you can buy certain people with for a song.
Did I mention their vanity?
"Legends in their own minds."
So much so, that they make a cliche out of being a cliche's cliche...
These "men" (heels) lack the real substance that the Greek hero Achilles' possessed ~ Moral and Physical Courage ~ and beyond that, are generally found wanting as the "Kings" they have proclaimed themselves to be, let alone, as "men," in general.
As for Court yesterday, even in making a plea, Cathy won her fight whether she realizes it or not. In causing them to lessen the fine, the damage and the harm the system could do her, the System acknowledged that she was right about one thing in particular:
A Police Officer had treated her poorly and the issue was now one of respect, nobiility and dignity.
Cathy won a substantial victory on the simplest of matters. A matter so simplistic that you wouldn't think that to be true. She got the Justice System to acknowledge her and redress her primary grievances. How she was treated in contrast to what she was accused of...
...and what she and all Citizens deserve.
The Court in her case yesterday, upheld the Law, but gave her the Chivalry and Respect she deserved in the first place from that Officer ~ an Officer of the Court ~ by making the statement that:
"No one in Law should disrespect the very People who are the ones that hand the Law their 'Marching Orders'."
Cathy is a working Mother of two children and one of The People who populate that "list."
Yes, to be sure ~ Cathy won a great victory yesterday for the average person. Man, woman or child. All by standing up for her rights!
She won for all, though she would exclaim to me:
"Tell that to my pocketbook!"
And like I said, seeing that Chivalrous conduct by the Court and the City Attorney, and the conduct of Men in that Court yesterday ~ and that of Cathy Foss-Stahl, to include once again, the City Attorney's involvement in the generousity offered ~ I have renewed hope that our Judicial system may yet work, despite the tribulations that may lie ahead for me, personally.
Yesterday, was one of the best days I have ever spent in a Court of Law in my life, win or lose in the end.
I'm sorry! : > (
Did I already mention that!?
Deputy City Attorney Stevens, Attorney Sande III, and a "guy in a girl suit" (the best charactaristics you would hope to find in a man but instead, find in a woman...) named Foss-Stahl , are responsible for an amazing day that started off "weeks" ago with me not being at my best.
How quickly that changed!
My day was truly inspired and it carries on to this moment, the evening of the day after.
