A special Wednesday episode - we'll be back next week to our regularly scheduled Tuesday/Thursday shows.  Driftglass has an interesting analogy going.  We're so glad Joe Biden is president.

Hi it’s Fran AKA Blue Gal, just letting you know that this week, due to lots of things going on here at Casa DGBG, we will be doing ONE podcast only, on Wednesday October 18.  The episode should be posted by 7pm Central time.  I’ve got lots of doctor appointments this week for some reason and today Tuesday, our cat, Barack Hussein the Kenyan Usurper, goes to the vet for his annual checkup.  Barack Hussein is our Sumo wrestler cat he weighs over 15 pounds but the vet says he’s not overweight just built like a brick house.  In other family news, Junior Dude turns 25 on Saturday, and he’s coming home on Wednesday for a week, so my other two are also coming home for a couple of days and this empty nester will have all three adult kids in the house for one 24 hour period on Thursday.  I struggled with whether to podcast that day because telling my kids to be quiet we’re podcasting would make them feel right at home, but then I decided I would rather not do that.  So again, we’re doing one show this week, it will drop tomorrow, Wednesday October 18, and then we’ll be back with two shows Tuesday and Thursday next week.  Love you and talk to you then.  Support the show
