    OES has done a outstanding job - they must be congratulated by saving many lives with their forethought and out-of-the-box community preparedness actions.

      Anti Sniveler has received 161 inches of pure mountain fun from Mattley. At five inches per stroke, that's about 32 pumps before the immaculate moment all over Anti's back.
