I was scrolling and was going to ask if the building was still in function when I got to this part:

Great series, Lt. You captured that implosion very well. Interesting to see the collapse.

I was going to ask you about those when I saw this. Nice!
And if I had to guess, I'd say your courting days were lovely!
