Regular readers of this blog know that where I live in New Mexico, the main "hangout" for the locals here is the Flying J just down the hill from our community.

His lawyers asked earlier this week for the court to postpone his sentence to begin after Christmas, so he could spend the holiday with his family. They cited their client’s “devout” Christian faith and sense of “family values” as grounds for letting him open presents at home with his family.
The court said, nope, you’ll be spending your Christmas in a jail cell.
