Sometimes my problem is it is like shooting skeet, it's a moving target. |
| 55 |
Sometimes it moves pretty darn fast too. Zac adds it faster than I can |

keep up. I wish they would announce new stuff when it get released, |
| 57 |
both unstable and stable. Then again, maybe it moves so fast he can't |
| 58 |
keep up either. lol |
