The capital “Fire” is just the first word in a quote; no other significance. I debated using quote marks here and around “More than you can shake a stick at.” But since I’m omitting punctuation generally, I didn’t. In a way these lines are better without, because that makes them my words perigenitally transferred. My father didn’t write, and he wouldn’t say a high-falutin word for love nor money. So I’m not convinced that prayers for it really work.
