IF you didnt already know, the people and their governing body, of Farragut are more important than the rest of us...and don't mind tell you...I think the state thinks we're dumb, Sam thinks I'm crazy...and chaos insues...we get going on so many things, I totally forgot to talk about the bridge in Baltimore...I personaly hope the rescue teams and recovery crews stay safe and do good work...so...
