Every good story need some pictures, this story was about a whirlwind service experience with America’s largest cable company…the girl?, we don’t know for sure, we call her ‘Julie’, say hello to Julie… because I couldn’t figure out how to sell the shirts at cost, I will be donated proceeds to ‘Hope for the Animals’ […]
