1. Bless his heart...

I was so happy to hear in the last day or so that Fats is okay and somewhere safe. He truly is a treasure. I hope we also hear some good news soon about so many beloved NO legends who are still missing. And the Russell family was extremely generous to take him in...we need more people like that right now.
