Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Hub Day edition of the yard.

Hope you are well, wherever you are these days. And listen, we want to, guys, send our thoughts and prayers out to our friends out in California.

It's an absolutely biblical type situation. It's happening out there. I tell you what's interesting,

I'm not one to assign blame, but in situations like this, it's kind of hard not to. But our

government has failed us. And I'm not going to politicize the issue. But I listened to a podcast,
