Bleacher games

We had been playing spot the sniper, which made us wonder why they
were all one only 1 side of the street, but now one person with a

else prob learned from CNN long ago. And now someone else called their
brother who is watching CNN so news is the flashing lights at the end
of the street are Obama coming in his car!!!?
