The only reason I was there was because of a high school buddy of mine and his wife and little boy were going to be kicked out if they did not have the rent Tuesday morning. He is one of my best friends. We played sports together growing up. Fished together a couple times a week for a long time. I paid his rent for a couple of weeks. My buddy starts a new job this coming Monday. He would have done the same for me. That's all I can tell you and that's all there is to it. God bless everyone.
