[Vision2020] Just Curious

[Joe Campbell]

Council won't participate because I use too many exclamation points!!!  
That's stupid. It's just a symbol. It is not in fact yelling. It is  
surprising that in  an area where gun rights are taken to the extreme,  
there seems to be a low toleration for the FIRST amendment.

I'll tell you what. Me and my punctuation will take a break until next  
spring. I've got to finish a book any way. We'll see how many posts  
there are while I'm gone!

So long, Moscow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
