“This sweet, blessed, God-inspired place called America is a champion that has absorbed some blows. But while we bend, we don’t break. This is no dark hour; this is the dawn before we remember who we are. May it be said of this time in our history: 2008 to 2011: lesson learned. 2012: mistake corrected. God bless you, God bless America. Thank you”

1006. Lolo Mac gave his “customs job” to Paw’s cousin, Ferdinand (who used my email, which was previously deleted and who now resides in Daly City, CA), so his grand-uncle Chu-Pandoy could supply Lolo Mac with cash from the brother’s hard work!
