A Mongolian Festival! There was a Greek Festival down in Redondo over the weekend as well as a Lego festival in Pasadena. Always so much going on around town. Personally, I made it to Golden Road Brewery in Glendale for the first time since COVID. Was very enjoyable! Crowd was excited since the England v Spain match was on.

Yeah, so much went on over the weekend, including the Lotus Festival, which we almost went to.

I've never been to the Golden Road Brewery, I should check it out some time!

Yesterday (Friday, 7.26.24) was my 2nd day of having to go to the courthouse for jury duty. Come with! I was assigned to the criminal courts building in downtown Los Angeles (now called the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center).

I didn't go to work obviously, but my report time to court was 10:30am. So, beforehand, I picked up breakfast for my partner and me at the bakery near the Metro station and took it home. My partner was working from home.

They didn't have what we wanted (ham and cheese sandwiches), so my partner got a roast beef, and I got a Cuban.

After a few hours, I was off to jury duty. I took the Metro.

The courthouse where I was doing jury duty. I was still a little early, so I thought I'd wait outside a bit.

Time to go into the courthouse. No photography allowed inside.

It was day 2 of jury selection. After about 90 minutes, I was dismissed! I was almost a juror, or so I thought. Kind of a creepy case. I wouldn't have minded being a juror, but I'm sure the testimony would have been upsetting. The judge said "Juror number 10 (me), thank you for your service, you are dismissed." So I went to the jury pool room, got my certification of jury service copies, and decided to walk around downtown LA a bit and take pictures, just for kicks.

You can barely see the top of Dodger Stadium there in the background.

I had enough wandering. Time to hop on the Metro and go home.
