Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today,

I would just like to say a very sincere thank you to everybody who helped support the podcast

through Patreon, PayPal, and Venmo last month, as all of that went into me being able to go

on this particular road trip. Paid for gas, paid for food, paid for hotels.

So now this episode is going out free to everybody, regular feed and Patreon at the same time.

No charge on Patreon as I might usually do.

So basically, if you listen to this episode, you enjoy it,

you would like to help support me paying off the credit card of card that I use to help pay for this

trip or put money toward another trip that I am currently thinking about taking in the spring

to get to some of the places

that I missed like Boston and York, then there is a link to the GoFundMe, which I set up for

this trip that is still open for donations and you can just throw a few bucks in there.

It is linked on Facebook and on Twitter and anything is appreciated.

I am so grateful for you guys, not just for your financial support, but for your cheering me

on Facebook and Instagram as I was going to all these different places and taking pictures

and making very awkward jokes about very, very serious and tragic places. So thank you very much

for that. With all of that taken care of, thank you very much for listening and welcome to disaster area.

Okay, so obviously this is going to be a little different than a normal episode.

I don't really have an episode number. This is a bonus episode where I talk about my

road trip, give you some idea of the places I went to and what I experienced there, what I saw,

the different sites that I went to. Not all of them have been covered on the podcast, by the way,

they may be covered eventually. Some of them have been covered on the podcast, by the way, they may be covered eventually.
