the grand officers were in attend

This weather reminds me of the
story of the shade from Arizona

the part of the celestial billing
clerk, unexpectedly found him
self in the internal regions. He
Immediately phoned back home,
"Send me some blankets and an
overcoat. This low temperature
gets next to mel"

prised their many friends by 60

badly be abandoned for the pres
