    OT: Ignoring jury duty summons

    I served on jury duty last year in Somerset County. Here is what they told me. 1400 cards were sent out, and 700 were returned and considered valid. Of those 700, 300 people were told to report to the online jury training (about 2 hours). Of those 300, 90 were asked to report to the courthouse...

    Penn State recommendations

    I actually love these responses, I have disliked Penn State wherever I have been and always will, and unlike some disillusioned guy suggested, I would never ask Penn State fans to talk about Penn State

    OT: Civil War Buffs

    not everyone, my great grandfather had a doctorate from Syracuse University in the late 1800s. I’m not necessarily proud of that or bragging, I never even met the man obviously, but there were still many educated people then

    OT: Least Favorite Athlete

    I liked Macho Camancho. In the early part of his career, he was a showboat and braggart, so understand your feelings. However, he also won in exciting fights, but then later in his career, he became a boring fighter, doing just enough to win. His murder was a tragedy

    OT: Civil War Buffs

    We still have all the letters written by my great great grandfather who served in the Civil War under McClellan, which means he didn’t see as fighting as the soldiers under Grant or Sherman.
