[A HERETIC I AM]

27. I have it on good authority that CaliforniaPeggy is actually "RhodeIslandOtis"

He he.

Congratulations Peggy.

I wish you continued success

[hfojvt]

31. she's not from California. She lives in Ontario!!

Ontario, Ca. That's Canada!! It might even be a province of France, since I understand there is a city named 'Paris' there. :tinfoilhat:

[A HERETIC I AM]

32. Not only that, but Ontario is where I-10 & I-15 cross and is home to several major truckstops.

People that live near truckstops are known to have questionable ethics.

She probably wears a leather vest and has a wallet with a chain attached to her belt.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

28. Since it's OFFICIAL...

To one of the best hearts I have ever 'met' here on DU, or anywhere else:

Congratulations, Peggy!!11!!
