Maybe you’ve seen it before, maybe you haven’t. Still bears viewing.
As important as one of the bases for the Maritime Strategy as it is for the local school board in building its strategic vision and mapping out budgetary direction.

I had seen this before. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to watch it again.
I have not seen this before so I offer a serious thank you.
I live in a flat world and knew it though I did not realize how flat until some recent reading.
