Sunday
Bella played Bridge and I took a day off to rest my
back. Sitting on a regular-backed chair
instead of the secretarial chair certainly helped.
I tried half-heartedly to locate sites where we could use
our VPN to access proper television and movies but I think I need to do a lot
more research. I did find a couple of
movie sites that are promising but I can’t see myself watching too many movies
on the computer.
Monday
Hopefully the dreary days are at an end as we have had 2
sunny days in a row now, hooray!!!
Today is always a grocery day for Bella, while I was out the
door early to see how we would fare in court today against SEPS. The court was being asked to rule on the
legality of the assemblies that SEPS had called last week. Since we headed off those assemblies in a
different fashion already, this court case is more to slap their face and get
some brownie points. I waited outside
Carlos Heredia’s office for a bit, took a few flower photos then decided I had
better head to the courthouse. He came
late, took a shortcut, and we met there anyway.
The court was held in a large “office”, or tiny courtroom,
if you want to call it that. There was
barely seating for 15 people in there. I
grabbed a chair quickly because I had not taken any drugs and there was no way
I was going to stand through the 100 minutes.
Our group started with 2 lawyers and ended with 3, although only the
first two got maybe 20 minutes to talk.
The 3 SEPS lawyers dominated proceeding with lengthy discourses on why
they were not in contravention of the Constitution in discriminating against
us. The female judge then decided she
would issue a ruling in 3 days. We doubt
that very much will come from this, maybe a wrist slapped, and some moral
victories that we can build on.
After the hearing, the press was very active in getting our
story, for which we are thankful. Why we
are not asking for criminal proceedings against the blatant extortion by SEPS
is beyond me.
Another big demonstration is scheduled tomorrow to begin at
San Blas park and continue up to the Governor’s building. They want us to bring as many people as
possible with lots of noisemakers. Oh
joy.
On the way home I stopped at Coral and bought a new office
chair with proper lumbar support, etc.
Naturally it did not want to assemble properly as the back does not want
to line up with the seat and screw on properly. I did the best I could after stripping three
bolts. I can certainly feel the
difference already.
That was the day’s excitement. Cheers, Al
