Guess she has at least some sense of honor
More like a sense of humor. If she posts bail, it'll be with SRI funds. She doesn't have any of her own.

Re: Nickel Plate Road on SRI

I was there. Almost slipped and fell on all the foam. :lol: I know! There were so many people there! Holy cow! I waited at Ithaca for three hours and there was a trail of foam along the line! DROOL!
