I was making my way to the county clerk’s offices when I flew by this gorgeous red brick chonker a mile before what I thought would be my final destination. I had already been wavering between going to the district court or the clerk’s office, and this one wasn’t even on my radar (or the map, for that matter).

Once through the mountains, I continued through snowy towns and vacation villages until, arriving at my first destination, my work began in earnest in…
