Musings

To my surprise, I received a check today in the amount my associates and I won for my company in a judgment against a local slumlord we rented from for a brief time.

So I'm down a country back road on one of my evening runs when an SUV happens to pass me then slowly comes to a stop several yards up and backs up until the passenger and driver, two guys, can see me. They ask me if there's access down to a local river and I tell them probably not anymore as there's a residence built on the hill above it but that it won't hurt to double check. They thank me and then the driver asks, hey, haven't I seen you on tv somewhere? Maybe, I respond slowly, looking around for potential escape routes.
