DIS: June estate auction

If elected Surveyor, I have an idea. Our estates are a little bare. I can tell you where the names came from, but rather than drag in a bunch of pop culture references, I thought i’d run a tiny writing competition. If elected Surveyor, then, during the June estate auction - during which i will

Yes, but I prefer requiring second-party support as opposed to lack of second, third, and fourth party opposition. Publius Scribonius Scholasticus On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 12:07 AM, Owen Jacobson wrote: > > On May 7, 2017, at 4:21 PM, Alex Smith
