Re: Cause of Potato Famine & Why Its Coming Back

More | Report Post

The clown car made its exit and left one behind. I have my files too, not to mention the
people who were there in court.

BTW, the constables showed up and told me to take all the time I needed in moving as the
court house was abuzz with the ruling in that matter. And I did.

Do you believe the paper trail to have been eradicated? Were there tapes of the court
proceedings?

Your make-up is running..and your nose askew.
