I had to ask “Do you actually have weasels on the Pirate Isles?”“No. It’s just a saying. I have no idea what a weasel is, but it must not be a... very safe animal.”“We have them where I come from.

When he dropped me off he told me to give him a ring during the week when I felt up to it. Again I just nodded.I got into my car and drove home wondering what I was going to tell my husband about the scratches and Band.
