I'm seriously thinking that Justice Petrou might have a future career as a short story author. Check out the third paragraph of today's opinion:
"It was a typical Saturday evening in the neighborhood. It had drizzled earlier in the evening and the night sky was dark, foggy, and misty. The sidewalk was wet and crowded with people."
I'm so excited to hear what happened next!
(Actually, the only thing that transpired was that a woman tripped on a metal plate that was covering one of PG&E's underground utility vaults. Not that thrilling. But I'm confident that Justice Petrou's next short story will be exponentially more exciting.)
The prior opinion was unpublished, but today, she published the thing. Which, of course, makes her a . . . published author.
Congratulations.
