Freezing Doctor with funny bed drums vaccination on Azelle’s book


dan and the SB grandchildren reading book Feb 2020

Can the California crew cope with a winter weather alert? What is a Winter Weather Alert in Santa Barbara? Who is ‘the doctor with the funny bed’? (And why doesn’t Arrow want to see him?)
