I’d ride to the local library and spend hours reading. For something else to keep my mind engaged, I signed up for a course at the local college—in Criminal Justice. The instructor was a sitting criminal court judge in Butte County. During the course, he played tapes of confessions. And then lectured how naive the suspects were to talk to the police without a lawyer. He once said, "Most criminals believe they can talk their way out of trouble." I smiled, knowing that was great advice. It amused me to wonder what he would have thought if he had found out that a student sitting in the front row of the class had a fugitive warrant out for him.
