Hi Loni, nice "necro-post." I wouldn't expect a response from the original poster, since this happened over two years ago and that person isn't around anymore.

But "disguising my identity"? How ridiculous. I'm not "disguising" a thing. When I go to a bar or liquor store, I show the same state-issued legal ID as I show cops. I've had no problem. Nonetheless, I avoid places like Kentucky on general principle and for personal preservation.
