It’s time for some Alice in August:

 

summer’s end . . .
the staggered heights
of black umbrellas

 

 

 

 

 

 

late summer–
baring the tan line
on my wrist

 

 

 

 

 

late August -
pushing through cornstalks
midnight raccoons

George Wallace is always trying to make insurance law interesting over

at Declarations & Exclusions, while also attempting to remain even-

handed.  He succeeds at both more often than you  might expect.  Earlier

this week he even buttered up the California Insurance Commissioner,

who had sniffed out fraud at a well-known L.A. waffle house.

 

Massachusetts Lawyers’ Weekly has a wrap-up of the new pay-raise law,

with quotes from many of the interested parties.  See “Bar advocates return

in droves, crisis averted: Legislature passes pay-raise bill”  (by Tony Wright,

Aug. 8, 2005).   Also, in a letter to the MLW editor, attorney Deborah Sirotkin-

Butler advises a “wait and see” approach to the new legislation.
