When I was on a vacation that took us to Cornwall we happened to get a flat tire right outside a very friendly gentleman that gave us a free ride to Truro so we could pick up our rental car - he was passionate of many things, among others Cornwallian separatism.

Hope you find your experience rewarding.
Being part of the process i super interesting.
I cant of course relate the experience of sitting in US court, but I am a part timer in the Swedish one.
I sit as a lay-jugde approximately one day a month.
Elected by our municipality parties after...(1/2)

TolkienTrewsday: Flora and Fauna
-(…)He saw no colour but those he knew, gold and white and blue and green, but they were fresh and poignant, as if he had at that moment first perceived them and made for them names new and wonderful.
