Welcome aboard Captian McDonald..

You got a great town to lead, and enthusiasm with its people.

My biggest concern is the loud exhaust from motorcycle and cars as they race through Marguerite and La Paz. Especially late at night.

You stop that, warm cookies will be on your desk.

Thanks.. feel free to drop in anytime
