i'll repeat offenders, but there is little the police can do to the frustration of the farmers in order and by family mournful the quantity stolen by each individual is too small to charge them up. so they're held in custody for $24.00 or 36 hours, whether it's a facial, some of them have to do a little cleaning work somewhere before they're released within, sadly made others this night has been a calm and quiet one for lime farmer, david medina. he summoned a sharmen in order to keep it that way. together they make a sacrificial offering of herbs to the sacred deities. gotta be asked to name was an esl. we do this because we have faith that will work on it so that we're able to harvest our fruit one dinner. and i also pray for the line prices to stabilize so that farmers like him can earn enough and sleep peacefully again.
