Laz, I may allude to having moved from California to Nevada where I could be a rude and obnoxious cigarette-smoker, but you know it's only a joke. "Which part? The move or the "rude and obnoxious smoker"? :-)" Cute, really, REALLY cute! <g></I. "Your Honor, the witness is evasive! Order the witness to answer the question!" The deponent sayeth not. That said, the exorbitant taxes California slapped on our smokes had quite a bit to do with my move east, however. "We were attempting to ship nutcases east and north. We appear to have succeeded to some degree. :-)" The law of unintended consequences comes into play here and should be telling you that your success in this endeavor has contributed greatly to the 38B budget shortfall in The Grand and Beautiful Nanny State of California. "No, it is our LACK of success that caused this problem. Were it not, NV would have the $38B shortfall. :-)" No, you have it twisted. Were it not for your success, Nevada would not have all us tax-paying smokers and a budget surplus. BTW, our Republican Guv is going to rebate money to us Nevada taxpayers. It even passed the State Legislature. Hmmmmm. Just curious, but could you not have smoked in the garage? "WHAT garage????" Woodshed? Did you have a woodshed? Living in California, I know for a fact you did not have a basement. Over the years, wild but implausible rumors have circulated of at least two basements in California but only one has been discovered. "WTH a basement? :-)" Noun: Basement 1. The lowermost portion of a structure partly or wholly below ground level; often used for storage. 2. The ground floor facade or interior in Renaissance architecture. Synonym: Cellar - Holly
