I'm sure I make my share of boo boos but I try my best not too. I don't jay walk. I do put money in the parking meter. I don't enter exits. I don't break in lines. I don't drive the left hand lane and then try to duck into the right just before I approach the exit I want. I don’t speed unless it is to avoid a dangerous situation. I don’t blow my horn at other drivers needlessly. I don't put my kids in every line at the supermarket with a candy bar so I can break ahead of everyone else if they get to the register before I do. I don't steal people's signs. I cut my grass every week but I never start before 10:00 on Saturday because I don't want to disturb my neighbors. If I must cut it on Sunday I don't do it until after church services even though I'm not a Christian. I guess I’m just a stupid citizen. I’m afraid a lot of people have forgotten what that word means. To me it means trying to do your best to do the right thing even if no one is watching because you believe in your responsibility to society and yourself. My blood pressure is fine and I love my life because I’m free…and hopefully, responsible.

Anyone who can rattle all that off and is so obsessed with being perfect is not free. But hey its your life, I just know you would drive me nuts. Why don't you live a little and just enter one exit door, I promise the enter exit police will not nab you, and you would have added a wild and crazy thing to your life!!! Walk on the wildside just once Corn, be just a tiny bit rebellious....rofl. Show some of that good ole fashion pioneer spirit.
