I saw one of my residents walking away from where he lives this morning and asked him where he was headed.
Mr. RL: I’m on my way to the courthouse, but I need to hurry, I am late.
Me: I didn’t realize you had a court appearance today — did you get a ticket or something?
Mr. RL: No, I am going to see Santa!
Me: I think you were supposed to do that back in December, perhaps in a mall or something….?
Mr. RL: No, he’s on trial! The Republicans got him — caught him trying to illegally cross the border! They are really cracking down on citizenship, you know — I knew it was bound to catch up with him eventually….
(shaking his head as he hopped on the bus)
