Q.E.D.! Thanks for your response pointing out his “marital” status. What an abomination! I believe it was John Locke who stated: “like brute beasts fit only to be destroyed.”

I used to have a house four blocks from that address. And people laugh at me when I tell them that moving from CT to rural Illinois was an upgrade.
