Replacing Montana With a New US State Partnership

4:30 p.m.

I'm sorry, but I'll be cancelling state partnership program with state of Montana. We will instead have a state partnership program with one of the following:

1. Massachusetts (my mum loves the song by The Bee Gees),

2. Maryland (where Raja uncle lives),

3. California (Jonathan Hirshon, sunshine state, high tech silicon valley),

4. Florida (Jacques' daughter, sunny, mosquito state like us),

5. Washington (Mikey lives in Seattle),

6. Texas (I love BBQ, and also, Troy Billett is here)

7. Washington DC (Ronalie, many people are here, important)

8. Delaware (Joe Biden, and also, my company is registered here)

9. Pennsylvania, (to honor Freemasonry, as Benjamin Franklin's place)

10. New York (this is the world's business center)

We'll do this pretty quickly, so the bandage pull tear doesn't sting.
