Wow. That was a close one.

For various reasons, I had to get a new hand-truck for the office. Since the hand truck at the office is used for a wide variety of things such as moving servers, cases of paper, file cabinets, etc. it needed to have a good weight capacity.

Before I go any further, let me just say that I love Costco. Costco is a wonderful and magical place where you can get just about anything you need for home or office and in huge quantities. They also have a lot of stuff that you didn’t know you needed until you see it at Costco, then you wonder how you managed without it. What I especially love about Costco is their next business day delivery.

So, as I said, I needed a new hand-truck. After perusing through the 20 or so different models they had online, I decided on the RocknRoller Multi-Cart’s. It fit the bill perfectly. 8″ pneumatic tires, a 500 pound weight capacity and 8 different configurations from short funiture dolly, to two wheel hand-truck to short hi-stacker, to, well, you get the idea. It arrived in the office this morning and about 15 minutes later it was all assembled:

It also included a warning on it the tires, and I thank the FSM that it did, too. I’m sure if I hadn’t seen this warning I would have ended up seriously injured or worse. Whew! That was a close one.

Frivolous Litigation

From Wikipedia on Frivolous litigation there is a great quote from Lawyer Danial B. Evans:

[W]hen a judge calls an argument “ridiculous” or “frivolous,” it is absolutely the worst thing the judge could say. It means that the person arguing the position has absolutely no idea of what he is doing, and has completely wasted everyone’s time. It doesn’t mean that the case wasn’t well argued, or that judge simply decided for the other side, it means that there was no other side. The argument was absolutely, positively, incompetent. The judge is not telling you that you were “wrong.” The judge is telling you that you are out of your mind.

Very well put, IMO.
