But I *will* say that he most certainly DID "turn things around" with his life. Quite emphatically. I'm surprised that his family hasn't already filed a lawsuit against ComEd for their failure to post warnings on their transformer that tagging live high-voltage electrical equipment could be dangerous. Like I said before, it's too bad that he couldn't channel his "creative" energies into something more constructive before his stupidity caught up with him. bear60640https://www.blogger.com/profile/04572732440461047198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-90449137364119128902013-05-30T23:38:55.969-05:002013-05-30T23:38:55.969-05:00Methinks some of you need to visit dictionary dot ...Methinks some of you need to visit dictionary dot come and look up the meaning of the word sarcasm.<br /><br />Sheesh, my work is never done!IrishPiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339255909419333238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-14655391084818628852013-05-30T22:43:50.066-05:002013-05-30T22:43:50.066-05:00" He was a well known & liked "tagge..."
