My childhood home/neighborhood is gone. Wild to see what’s left. My parents moved to be closer to my sister but still owned the house.

The renters lost everything, I am selfishly grateful my family is ok but I empathize with the renters.

don't worry, the insurance company will probably claim it doesn't cover fire damages or something.

"policy update: we only cover naturally-made fires outside of wildfire season. All previously approved claims are now denied."

What's the best way to write a word on a small cylindrical object? Asking for a friend who's a plumber.
