What does the Captain Cook Caper fun run t shirt look like?
I’ll bet there will be lots of politicians at the fun run, 5k. As you know, it makes a difference to be covered on health. I suppose this event is political. Does Ross Kagawa and Ron Kouchi have medical? A lot of the senior citizens in town are out of medical. The town is concerned. I am from there too.
Freaky representatives. Politics. I take it it is from church.
One concern from a political perspective.
