The mantra to go with these flags is to keep moving forward in life and all will be fine.<br /> Or to quote Dorie from Nemo "Keep on swimming..." <br /> Just another random nerdy thing from my personal encyclopedia of useless or semi-useless information.Roishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960233101785516144noreply@blogger.com
