I always wondered what the fun is for a recreatinal ride on that kind of roads with cars buzzing by left and right. Would drive me crazy. Lou Well as far as the bridge, it's a way to get between Washington State and Vancouver BC. I assume the point is for her to go for a ride around Vancouver. Maybe she's going crab cakes in Stanley Park... I think the bridge goes to Vancouver WA, not Vancouver BC. Yeah, I was mistaken. I was thinking of Vancouver Island. No bridges going there either :-) Nice ferry from Port Angeles, WA. It feels like an ocean voyage. I did it on a bike tour -- you lash your bike to the rail. Speaking of islands and ferries, this is a fun little ride on Bainbridge Island: https://cascade.org/rides-major-ride...-details/route The bike herd piles on to a ferry and then rides up and down a bunch of little hills. I took the Victoria to Port Angeles ferry as part of a bike trip that went from Vancouver to Cictoria, then through the Olympic peninsula, across Whidbey Island, and up from Snohomish back to Vancouver. Great fun. It's like a 90 minute ocean voyage. A long time ago, I had a week-long trial in Port Angeles during the summer, and after court every day I would ride up parts of Hurricane Ridge. Very pretty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqPcULMjMTE Small towns are weird places to try a case -- a distant cousin of one of the parties was left on the jury. Everybody knew everybody. -- Jay Beattie. How do you deal with "everyone knows him, he's a good boy."? Peremptory or strike for cause, but if the whole venire knows a party or parties, then you could move it to a different county -- but this was a small commercial dispute and certainly not worth the effort. The distant cousin was a distant cousin, and if he got bumped, someone dreadful would have gotten on, IIRC. It was no big deal, just an oddity of a small town civil trial. -- Jay Beattie. |

I was on a jury where the trial was for a man who tried to rape his 15 year old daughter. On the second day they made a deal with the judge. It was pretty plain to them what was going to happen when the entire jury was about to turn into a lynch mob led by an old black lady. |
