Burglary Math

Waiting for my turn to answer questions, I listened to the judge interview other prospective jurors: Is there anything about this? Is there anything about that? Anything about anything that impacts your ability to be impartial in this particular criminal proceeding?

That's when I realized something both obvious and humbling -- everything about September's burglary impacts my ability to be impartial right now. It's still too fresh.

I have been quantifying burglary costs in dollars lost and hours wasted.

There's more to the equation, a growing unknown I'm not sure yet how to measure.
