September is National Preparedness Month. How prepared are you for an emergency?
Very Prepared. I live rural and we have to be prepared for things like power outages anyway. So we are very prepared if there were an emergency.
How would you describe your driving skills?
Fantastic. I have never been in an automobile accident that was my fault or anybody else's, ever. I'm a very good driver. I'm proud of that.
Finish this sentence: You're never too old to ...

What is a piece of advice your mom or your dad gave you?
"What does not kill you makes you stronger. You can kind of endure anything."

September is National Preparedness Month. How prepared are you for an emergency?
Not. I have a fire extinguisher in my building as well as an exit sign and that is about as prepared as I am.
How would you describe your driving skills?
Awful. I just got a speeding ticket today.
Finish this sentence: You're never too old to ...

What is a piece of advice your mom or your dad gave you?
My dad always told me, "If you're going to lie, commit to the lie. You either go 100 percent with the lie or you tell the truth."
