Awesome, although I really thought it was the half element Sneezium.
The boys can help me with some new product introductions, we are into
Prototype season here at Sunsel. And maybe they can get the 3" of ice
off my sidewalk, we are in some crazy snow - rain - freeze cycle and I'm
not having fun. And we will have to go out for donairs, maybe lobster
if they aren't allergic.
