    “Are You a Lawyer?” by Duane Anderson

    She asked if I was a lawyer
    because she said I looked like one,
    but I told her no,
    not knowing if I was just given
    a compliment or an insult, not knowing
    if I was standing at the doorstop
    of good versus evil?

    I should have returned the favor,
    and asked just how familiar
    was she with lawyers.
    Had she been jailed multiple times,
    requiring their talents to get her out?
    A question never asked, an answer never given,
    but life continued on for each of us.

  2. Concerning the legalisation of #pluginsolar in the UK, there is one question open (for us) and maybe there is a #lawyer here who can answer it:

    The UK "legalized" #pluginpv but didn't change any law concerning the right of #tenants to use it. The guidance simply says "ask your #landlord”.

    Is the use of pluginsolar now subject to the whims of the landlord or does UK law give the tenant a right to install it, as its a generally legal and regulated technical device?

  3. A quotation from Jean Kerr

    OSCAR: I hate a friendly divorce. A lawyer is never entirely comfortable with a friendly divorce, any more than a good mortician wants to finish his job and then have the patient sit up on the table.

    Jean Kerr (1922–2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]
    Mary, Mary, Act 1 (1961)
