Huge shoutout to @PlyGem windows! I submitted a warranty claim several weeks ago for a couple of defective windows in my home and they came through and sent me replacement windows. Timely updates provided along the way. The company stands behind their promises!

In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. This is the young man who went down on the field tonight in Cincinnati. He is a man; not a number on a jersey. Prayers for Damar.
