We're off to Durango, Colorado early this morning to view physical evidence in one of our cases, so we won't be posting, or appearing on any cable tv shows. It's an 8 hour drive, or a very bumpy 1 hour flight, and we've trepidatiously chosen the flight. We say trepidatiously, because 99% of the time we have no fear of flying but this flight is different.

The last time we flew to Durango was for a court appearance 22 years ago --we remember because we were 7 months pregnant. We were so freaked out by the flight (air pockets due to the summer heat make these tiny planes swerve and drop mercilessly, so they later told us) that we rented a car one-way for the drive back. Aside from the cost, the driving was not a problem--we would have driven for 3 days to avoid a repeat of that flight. We have no problem flying to Aspen, Grand Junction or Casper (Wyoming) --or even taking a puddle jumper to Kalispell, Montana, but Durango is scary.

Wednesday may be the day the Eagle County DA decides whether to charge Kobe Bryant with sexual assault or some other crime or no crime at all, so we recommend you check news updates frequently. We'll be back here late Wednesday night or Thursday, as soon as we've recovered from our most harrowing adventure.

Update: We're back, safe and sound, thanks for the comments. The plane ride was fine... but someday when this case is over, we'll tell the story of the conditions under which we were forced to view the physical evidence. It's one for the books, for sure. Suffice it to say, too many law enforcement agents in rural counties think they can operate under their own rules--and that they make the rules. At least we're in federal court on this case, where hopefully the Judge won't view it that way.
