sometimes the good old boy club is stronger than the leadership
they don't get it that u r looking out 4 them -- saving them from themselves
their actions could have hurt them and thioer brothers
shame on them and the rest of the dept for not supporting u
on the good note, you did your job -- everyone went home
be safe

The picture above was taken while I was helping out with a class in Fairbanks, Alaska. They found a way to purchase the puppets and just have fun with them. They are not the originators either.
Though I did hear that both Perry and Jake may make an appearance at the FOOLS convention in Seattle next month. If you are a FOOL, get your arse registered.
