[StBernard] MRGO

[Westley Annis]

Just an afterthought:  remember many years ago they found a body on the
banks of the mrgo under the green bridge?  Well when the guy who found it
went to report it, came back with officials it was gone.  well, three days
later it turned up again in the very same spot.  WITH FROST BITE!  Now at
the time they(officials) couldn't figure out how the body had been
frostbitten, disappeared, and then returned again after three? days.  Well
at the time there was only one cold storage unit in that area that could
have stored something like a body.  Yep you guessed it.  NOCS.  Of course
they (officials) investigated and just couldn't come up with any hard
evidence of any wrongdoing"ain't that a joke" by anyone.  oh sorry here i go
rambling again.  oh well  i really don't know what i was getting to.  GOD
BLESS  and KEEP THE FAITH
