Yep, I'm feeling proud of our judicial system. Course, I mean our little judicial system here in the Third District of Minnesota, Fillmore County.

Just attended the dedication of our remodeled electronic courtroom. Supposed to improve court efficiency 15 to 25 percent. It allows coordination with other courtrooms in the district, say if a deputy needs to make a 5-minute appearance in another courtroom, it saves driving time.

The MN Supreme Court Justice was there, plus two other judges off that court; four from the Court of Appeals; and a whole slew of Third District judges.

Nice presentation; nice courtroom for this county of just 23,000.

23,000 people? In a whole county?

LOL! We have 3 counties in Montana with less than 1,000 people!

One, Petroleum County is bigger than most states and has 491 people (I think they counted people, anyway).

Welcome to the 21st century, lizs!

Yes, poor shocked Violin, lol.

But, dammit, we've got the best courtroom for miles!

Scroll down, it shows a photo of the county, hey, just south of booming Rochester in Olmsted County!!

So if all those folks hadn't gotten the hell out of Dodge, there would only be like 10,000 people?
