Read MoreStarting tonight, fans of Court News may be happy to see GreeneStreets starting to get caught up. For several weeks now, I’ve kept GreeneStreets going with the use of only one hand. It’s been a slow go and some things, especially Court News, became impossible to get posted. Thank goodness an appointment with a hand specialist is coming up later this month and I'm praying the specialist has a solution and I will be able to type with two hands again as soon as possible. Many thanks to Kermit Rochelle and Annika Chosnek for first taking the time to learn how GreeneStreets does Court News and then the time to start typing up the entries. Catch-up posts will be posted one week at a time rather than all at once. Watch for the first catch-up posts later tonight.
