Jackson - Everyone in our Jackson office is safe, but they had a very tough night. Severe weather including a thunderstorm and tornado hit Jackson overnight. The office has been without power all day. David's UT car has a cracked windshield and several hail stone size dents. But, we're lucky and very grateful they are all OK.

Municipal Court Handbook - We've been working on this handbook for some time. Thanks to Rex, Melissa, and Sid for finishing it. I'm sure Rex is particularly pleased to have this DONE.
