It's been several months, and this is kind of old news, but I moved this information off of my website and want to put it here for people to find easily....

Chaos at the Courthouse
Wow! So, on the first Tuesday of July, I went to the Henry County, Georgia, Court House to observe a foreclosure sale. Can you spell chaos?
Don't know how it is in other states, but here in Georgia, there was no organization to the sale. I got there early, not knowing what to expect.
Our court house is on a quaint square with roads leading north, south, east and west out of the square. Traffic is always heavy - really doesn't matter what time of the day you go through. It was probably 95 degrees when it started. I got there at 9:00 when it was only 80 degrees in the shade. But at 10:00, the sun had shifted and the steps were in the full sun. A crowd had started to gather at about 9:40. Soon, some people started to show up with boxes, briefcases, clipboards, etc. Some of them were dressed rather interestingly. The major law firm was represented by a man - I swear he was in a Hawaiian shirt, fishing had and cargo shorts. But I only caught a glimpse of him before he was swallowed by the crowd. Then there was a lady in a nice dress and I swear five inch, pointy-toed heels - (I didn't wear those when I was 20, let alone now - I'd get a nose bleed from the height if I didn't break an ankle first). Then there was a conservatively dressed, young lawyer with dress pants, long sleeved shirt and no tie - spoke in a monotone.
