Wish me luck, everyone. Today's the day we're supposed to FINALLY go to court to testify against the neighbor for his yappy dogs. After many delays and distractions, this is finally supposed to be IT.
I'm going into it knowing that nothing's going to happen. The guy's mother will be sitting at the freaking bench. She works there. The prosecutor should ask for a change of venue, but I doubt he will, and he's not taking my calls so I can suggest it.
So, due to the guy's ties to the city, I'm pretty sure they're going to hear my testimony, and the police officers' (the many that have stood on my porch in the wee hours listening to it), and my neighbors, who have all lived with it as long as I have.... and they're going to dismiss it and send us all home. I'm preparing myself for that, so that it won't hit me so hard when it happens.
At 6pm USA central tonight, please send those well-wishes my way, I beg of you. Cross your fingers, toes and eyes for me, light candles, rub a lucky rabbit's foot. Whatever you've got, I can use it.
