I have. many years ago and even then you couldn’t swing a dead cat there without hitting a SWATZI or Stasi or uniformed police officer.

You are correct. I’ve not been to the CA capitol. Next year when I go to visit my sister, I will stop by as its on the way. I’ll take a dead cat if I find one on the road and swing it around and see what I can hit. lol.
