I would just skip over them. As anyone not interested in the law easily could have skipped over posts by Tim, Greg and myself once it was obvious that's where our focus was.

In other news, the weather sure is great in Los Angeles. How is it in your neck of the woods?

At the risk of offending someone for posting off topic, nice day today in Boston, it's warmed up from the recent polar vortex cold.

Maybe it's time for Leon to create a separate section called LOL (Lawyers Opposing Lawyers) where attorneys can endlessly argue semantics
and whatnot with each other to their heart's content while allowing the rest of us (who speak and think like regular collectors) to just enjoy the site again?

Oh, I don't know, I think it's entertaining for many, myself included. No one has to open a thread, though it's sort of human nature to.

The rabbit holes (old, long threads I go back and read for no apparent reason) are much worse for me.

Awesome, here in rural South Dakota also. It was -6 for a high last Wednesday and a high of 60 today.

It hit 90 in Phoenix yesterday, almost 20 degrees above average for the date. That 20 degree difference has not been unusual this month either.

Last year we had nearly 5 months of 100+ degree weather, including nearly 4 consecutive months of it. There was a long string of days where the temp never dipped below 90 at any time of the day--even the dead of night.

Miserable describes it for the first 30 days. After that I can't think of an adequate word.

Here in sunny SW Florida, it went up to 85F. 2 days ago we had good rain for the first time in weeks, other than a few sprinkles here and there. Spring training in full swing around here now.

You're making Texas sound nice. Yikes.

For the record, Peter and Ohio Lawyer are great guys.

Some spirited banter every now and then is ok. We kept it civil!

Weather in LA this morning is a crisp 55 degrees!

Weather sucks here in Ohio.

But I'm heading to Arizona in a couple weeks to watch some spring training games. Looking forward to seeing what that "dry heat" is all about.

The last time I was in Phoenix, it was 110 degrees. Dry or not, it was beyond brutal to be outside even for a couple o fminutes.
