Thanks for sharing. I listened to this on Broadcastify last night here at home in Maryland.

Nice work Brent. I must be getting old. I didn't hear any of this. I'm about 4 blocks from here too.

I lost my home to a fire 3 years ago. It's crazy just how traumatizing it is when it happens to you. I had no shoes on my feet and only the clothes on my back that smelled like smoke. The ambulance and fire crews were amazing. Red Cross gave me $500 to buy clothes and then I was on my own to figure everything else out
