Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What about jury service? No one will come for jury duty to sit in the jury assembly room or in the box with everyone else.
Virtual trials.

The Attorney General in court today would not shake my hand. He said he was practicing social distancing. It's all good because I had no intention of shaking his hand.

Obviously years away, if ever, but I could imagine the jury being seated individually, remotely, via video conferencing with the parties conducting the trial in the courtroom.

How would you pick that jury? Voir dire would suck.

It's been a long off-season. It would suck if my only race in the early season will be a stinkin' TT.

Split screen with a bunch of windows.

Admittedly far-fetched, but 20 years ago I wouldn't have imagined colleges shutting down campus mid-semester and going online, and here we are today.

You know they still make clamp-on cages, right?

Yes, and I have those on the bikes with none. To get up to one.
But I'm not one to sip steadily while on the bike. I much prefer heavy prehydration. I have to dismount and pee about twice per year.

Rode about 45 minutes on the bike path and my lungs are now punishing me for thinking that I was over this cold. Still worth it to get out though

I have court tomorrow and Monday. I bet there won't be much more court after that. We'll run a few hundred people through the criminal divisions the next two days and that should be enough to shut it down.
