Dan: Really! Huh. I'm an oddball here I guess. Houses, farms, cars, money, etc. is all window dressings to me, easily changed and replaced. Relationships are the rock on which I built my world and when those crumbled, the rest followed quite naturally. I didn't care. I tend to look at it like this: if my house burned down tomorrow I'd be bummed. But if my house burned down with a close family member or friend inside, fuck the house. All I care about is whether my family member or friend gets out alive.
