| Morrey family farm and acreage (1974-2016). The last fire. Paraphrased words of wisdom from Big D. Wise words from Big D from acreage fires and meetings here in my condominium in the loft, over the years: 'Don't settle.', 'North America is too influenced by pop culture.', 'No one does improvisation like Rush.', 'Go digging in the right garden.', 'No one can have true peace outside of knowing the true God and Jesus Christ.', 'You are built like the kingpin.', 'Be careful in taking advice from Focus on the Family as they are pretty fundamentalistic.', 'I would hate to be one of those phony faith-healing, televangelists on judgement day.', 'You have a first-class PhD from Wales and God has a purpose for your life.', 'Don't take advice from those that do not know you that well and do not care about you much.', 'As much as I have a union job and am aware of corporate abuses, I still vote conservative.' |

| The as of noon today, former extended family home of my legendary friend Big D aka Mr. Bobby Buff. Although I have rightly satirically teased him over the years, he is one of my best and most loyal friends. He also has a wonderful family that was willing to host me and others at their property. I was hosted there since 1989 with kindness and love. Is that supposed to be an effigy of Chuck or something, you know, with his Mennonite Brethren heritage? Nothing to do with me. |

| Notice to the far right, a right fist trying to 'Kung Fu', 'Karate' that burning board in half. Again, it was not me, not my style. |
 |
| The perhaps from 1974 chair of 'The Don' aka 'Honky Tonk Don', father of Big D. Don 'had a few' and stated that if I did not visit him at his new place, closer to my condominium, he would beat the sh** out of me. I love you too, Don, even though your haircut is from 1955. |

| That looks pretty violent. A millennial was at work. |
 |
| Cousin Buff was kind enough to offer to host future family and friend fires. When I initially walked on site in the darkness of night, I am glad his German-Shepherd-Lab did not try to kill me. Food and love was on her mind. I at first had flashbacks to corporate security work and my old buddy and K-9 security officer Duke that is definitely not a team player. |
