Unhappy Some of you may have seen this on the news....

Our family business, Dooley Printing, burned Sunday night. I left there and called a friend as soon as I left the parking lot. I checked my cell phone, and I called him at 8:21. The fire department got the call at 8:23. So, I guess I was lucky.

None of the employees were injured, but we did lose our beloved shop cat, Cosmo (yes, that's where my screen name came from). Found him this morning.... rest in peace, buddy.....

Cause was faulty wiring. Damage estimate $500k. Anyways, here's pics if anyone wants to see first hand.
