I drove around in my bathrobe when I dressed like the Crazy Cat Lady for Halloween.... hmm... You mean I could have been jailed, fined, or thrown to the dogs?!? PS: There was a Wind Mill farm on one of the last episodes of "Pushing Daisies." If you haven't seen that show, you should! <em>Les Says: Nope. Apparently you can't get arrested if you really want to be. You can get a little closer if you drive around in your bathrobe and then act offended for being stopped, though, according to my mom. PS - thanks for the heads-up, I'll see if I can find the episode.
