trade flows good to examine quote unusually brother and there that that's that's the nation and blamed them go ahead and because he was you had not had that there was an adapted seven but he was not that's when they learned that the conflict in changing need an injection senegalese pointless pointless road and then and then and those who would very unusual and they really know what went on wrestling in another way who wait in their leaves and then he came home to meet that date and then love in twenty fourteen twenty eight campaign tune then their rejection the eighties wife who was not my great grandmother ah know lady is
