I'm enough of a Marketplace nerd that I was literally the first person at the door for the @kairyssdal.bsky.social talk... 2h early.

Picture your pantry cabinet. You’re out of your favorite cereal so you head to the grocery store to pick up a new box for breakfast tomorrow. Strolling down the cereal aisle in the supermarket, there might be 200 different options from plain oatmeal to Frosty Sugar Nuggets.

Just here admiring the weathered rough edge, running bond, deep-struck, wide joint composition in this brick veneer on a house we just measured for remodeling design.
