Thanks much for joining me. Mail and submitted comments remain fairly steady and for that I thank you. We’ll get to some of it shortly. First, a couple of quick thoughts from Your Humble Narrator.

Wendell thinks eating at a restaurant can be life threatening.

I love my country and the earth, but I know firsthand that the problem we aren’t talking about enough, that can destroy our world, is drug and alcohol addiction.
