Eine Verschiedene Wintereise

In a previous post, I wrote about having to walk home last Thursday. On Thursday the 5th, I had a rather different experience: Once again, I was at the bus stop with two other men, when a crowded A40 bus came by. I was carrying both my work laptop, in a special bag with various papers and whatnot, and a bag of groceries from the Whole Foods near the Patent Office. Once again, it was cold, and there were snow and ice on the ground.

This time, the bus driver stopped, and the passengers on the crowded bus squeezed and readjusted their positions, managing to make room for the three of us; we were left standing near the rear door, but we did succeed in riding the bus. I arrived safely a couple of blocks from my apartment.

The Red Queen’s Race

This past week, I finished and posted Office Actions on two amendments, so my Amended docket is down to two cases. Furthermore, I am now rid of the oldest amendments, approaching the deadline for responses, so I have some breathing room.

I also acquired a Special New application, so I’ve been searching for relevant prior art on that. I expect to see one of my Regular New cases declared the oldest Regular New when the new biweek begins on Sunday the 8th.
