Flew to Texas to buy 5 large boxes of fireworks well beyond California legal limits. I shipped them home. FedEx 'knew' what they were but shipped them because it was me, I was told later in life.

I won't take that sort of special privilege. Well, actually I will take it when they want to do it but I wouldh never pursue it or ask for it on my own. A guy on my street did come up with a deal but we'd all have to pay a bit and so far only he and I want to chip in. That's for cable to be run to us.
