MOLESKIN
Have reached out to Knope, Scrooge McDuck, Bellhop and Botched about implications of soccer league that is arriving early on Saturdays. Particularly worried about safety with lots of traffic coming in and out. In hindsight I probably should have audibled out of burp back mountain. Thanks to all PAX for looking out for one another. Strong push by everyone today. If your chest isn’t sore tomorrow, lemme know so I can adjust accordingly next time. Aye!
