It’s almost Plum Book time again (see also here for links to previous Plum Books). If you’ve ever thought about becoming a belly-of-the-beast public servant (appointed) and working in Washington D.C. for a new Presidential administration, now is the time to get your resume out and buffed up.
Prepare to compete for jobs with the best and the brightest – very exciting!
Maybe it’s my bent sense of pathos and bathos, but I’ve found Nebraska’s safe haven law dilemma both incredibly heartbreaking and (darkly) humorous. The sadness is for both the parents and the children. The humor is reserved for the legislature that crafted this law with enormous Unintended Consequences. (More Nebraska abandoned-children stories here and here.)
If you either don’t have kids or if you have trouble-free kids (ha ha ha ha ha), you might not know it but, believe me, there are an awful lot of parents around the county who would love to do what these parents have been doing. Parenting is really hard and not only is it very hard to get away even for a little while, but what do you do when you have completely run out of ideas and energy and are quickly running out of love?
Yes, Oregon parents want to get away from their kids too. My most popular blog posts, in page hit numbers you might find hard to believe, are the ones on WHEN CAN I LEAVE MY KIDS ALONE! That’s right. Parent everywhere, are trying to flee their kids. They have my sympathy, and loads of it, but I’m not offering to babysit, thank you.

This is a logical companion guide to their other skip-tracing and public records guides, which you can find here and that I posted about here.
Justice Bedsworth, of the California Court of Appeals, returns with his, not to be missed, November column in the Orange County Lawyer Magazine:
“Is That a Kielbasa in Your Pocket? Time for year-end awards to be passed out. Here’s the first one”:
“…God, in Her wisdom, has seen to it that the Yankees still haven’t won a pennant in the 21st Century, so we know that there are some fronts on which the forces of evil and sloth have been reduced to a holding action. But a year that winds down with the Secretary of the Treasury holding a gun to the economy and saying, “Give me $700 billion dollars in unmarked bills or Wall Street dies,” is not one you’re gonna want to paste into your memory book next to the senior prom.
