0:00.0	Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Metteris. And before I get started with the episode today,
0:04.8	I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. If you've been wanting to hear a particular
0:09.2	disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the podcast PayPal account
0:14.9	at Disasterarea.com or the podcast Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast. Just add the name of the disaster you'd like
0:24.3	me to cover to the notes on your donation and I'll add it to the list. Please bear with me. I am legitimately
0:30.7	terrible about responding to messages, but rest assured that I will add your request to the list.
0:36.1	And if it's been a while since you sent

1:16.6	done until 2025 at this rate. The subject from this particular episode is one of my choosing,
1:23.3	because it's the 150th episode, and I wanted something which had a happier ending than most.
1:29.4	So I would like to thank you all for listening for these last 150 episodes.
1:36.1	If you'd like to help support the podcast in another way, you can do so with a one-time
