Very well fit and put together kids. But kids.

Something you may appreciate. There were a good many OPD cops there in all their gear. I commented to the man in front of me they seemed less bossy than they normally are. Once I saw the 101st there I realized why! They weren’t they big dog on that campus!

Just leaning on their cruisers watching the soldiers get it done. Realize, our Governor did not welcome the FEMA sites with open arms.

Have a nice week.
