In Burbank this morning, I met a couple who told me they still didn’t know if their house was still standing.
We looked it up online and got the good news together.

I don’t know about y’all but Monday, January 20th is MLK and that’s all I’ll be acknowledging or celebrating that day. Don’t care about anything else going on that day.
