Stay safe and here's hoping that Cantore won't show up.ALMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332007394769106255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-17847206335267797492008-08-28T08:23:00.000-05:002008-08-28T08:23:00.000-05:00I'd be afraid if cantore showed up at my town, too...I'd be afraid if cantore showed up at my town, too.
