...but, boy, was I shocked by how I look and sound on TV!

I thought that lawyers were all about public speaking...

Many lawyers are trial attorneys, and many never set foot in a courtroom, but we are still shocked by how we look and sound on TV.

My impression of the legal system is that it has zero validity and it exists to preserve its image by settling property line disputes among peers, while rubber-stamping the abuse of minorities. I have zero respect left for man's law, and I am turning to a higher power instead.

Ok. All I can say is thank God we have a legal system in the US that works just fine the vast majority of time. Personally, I cannot think of another country that has a legal system superior to what we have here.

I know what you mean. People have complimented me on my (baritone) singing voice, but it still sounds strange to me on playback.

Saw something peculiar today, I was removing some trees because of a spruce disease, they were done, and I noticed that the growth rings in a tree was much thicker and had a darker color on one side of the tree. The wood was a little harder because of it. Didn't think much of it, but then I saw the same thing on another tree. And then I began to wonder if the other trees were the same way. And they were. All the trees I removed had thicker growth rings on one side, the north-east side. Something big happened a long time ago that affected the trees.

There's a lot of major historical events both man made and natural that show up years later in tree growth patterns. If you can work out the age of the trees you'll be able to match it to something like a meteor strike or a nuclear test, etc.

So, that would not be a response to a predominantly north wind...?

a meteor strike or a nuclear test

Ah yes, typical Norway

I'm guessing it was a meteor strike in a nuclear test. Happens all the time here.

It would have to be one hell of a north wind to make those trees do that. I don't know, it was just interesting to see, unusual. The rings were also wobbly, not round like they usually are.

Yes, much more the realm of places like Serbia.

Meteor that blasted millions of trees in Siberia only 'grazed' Earth, new research says

[Edit] Sorry, dyslexia cut in.

Now I'm trying to understand is that a joke that Serbia and Siberia same things?

Edit: Ah, okay

Serbia is such a boring dull country even meteors don't want to come here.

They're all such far away places to me that the names are easily confused at times. Some news stories really grab my attention, and then I read it again and realise they're talking about Austria, not Australia.

At least you guys have the rakija over there.
That'll fix the boredom.

That's exactly how most serbs fix their boredom and problems. I myself stopped drinking alcohol, so no help for me heh

We used to have a Hungarian neighbour that loved our Satsuma Plums for making Brandy.

I don't drink either, it just makes me pillage a town and the next day I have to deal with the police and angry people and I'm really hungover. Totally not worth it.
