Carl, you are encouraging double posters.

Keep this up, and I will deprive you of your mocha!:D
I haven't had even one, yet ... I figured I'd catch him on the second one.

I just got done with some TV interviews and press phone calls ... darn these Holidays! The Chief is gone and I have to handle the weekend fun ... GRRR!

NOW I'm off for my mocha!

Many counties in CA will not go forward with a prosecution on this offense. If they do, you can expect counseling, a small fine, and possibly probation. Jail time is unlikely for a first offense.
