What? Lawyers on Mars?
Shirley, my partner, was telling me about a report in that bastion of journalism, The Sun, about life on Mars approximating pond scum:

Snack time at Jacobson Attorneys
Snack time at Jacobson Attorneys. We are trying to reduce our sugar intake. Our snack collection usually has enough sugar content to put a diabetic into a coma just by driving past.

A little change to this blog
I’ve made a change to this blog. I originally thought I would use the domain “pljcbsn.net” for my photo-blog and after I published a couple posts I ran out of steam.
