Wow! What brought all that on? Did I say all of those things? No. I didn't notice that I was submitting an application for sainthood. I posted a mildly tongue-in-cheek response to someone else. In it, I observed I had never done certain things. Rumors to the contrary, it is possible to live in California without doing some of those things. I don't think it is all that remarkable, really. There are a lot of people like me who can say the same thing.

Although I sincerely doubt you are interested in my answers or a genuine discussion, I'll answer your impertinent questions anyway :

No.
No. And I've never cheated on my taxes, either.
Not since I was a minor.
No.
No.
My one and only ticket for speeding was issued 30 years ago.
No.
No.
No.

I have coffee with the retired Bloomington Police Chief. His niece got nailed for running a stop sign while talking on her cell in Normal by a county cop. She had been drinking and the backup brought in 7 more squad cars. She blew 2 points under the limit and passed the road side test. They towed her car and took her to county instead of city, two more tests she passed, strip searched and printed, $250 bail. The charge was suspected DUI.

She got a lawyer and is suing for $3 million.
