I spoke last week to a friend who I didn't even know lived in Alpedina, which is where the Eaton Fire was, and she told me that basically she had managed to make ends meet through this aid.

Now, of course you don't want to spend your life on

federal aid but

are still dealing with

the damage from the fire and I'm in a fairly well to do area.

I mean, I had to call my contractor last week and make sure that my house was properly wrapped in advance of the rain that came to LA because

The repairs aren't done yet.

I mean, it's almost two years.

Wow.

And the repairs still aren't done.

It takes forever because anything, first of all, anything you try to do on a house takes forever.

But secondly, you're also dealing with negotiations with insurance companies.

You're trying to figure out what you can get, what you can afford.

And so it just takes forever.

And and so we're not through it yet either.

And if we're not through it yet and we're doing

Pretty well.

Think about families that are not doing as well, that didn't have the kind of insurance we had, that haven't gotten their act together because it's just so overwhelming.

We still have our house, even though it was damaged.
