Why????
 

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp,some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors ... But they all have to learn to live in the same box

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the
places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you can!!

Vote early and vote often....for Possum Queen of course!!
