They are going to process it so fast that there won’t be time for an appropriation.

The law is quite clear you may not do X in Georgia and Florida. You are allowed to do X in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. You must do X in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and the US Virgin Islands.

My brother (11 years older than me) looked so much like me when I was 20-25 that people confused us - especially in pictures. We don’t look so similar now.

Did they use a contractor last time? I thought it was the British Arm/Navy.
