Looks to be that way. We should be getting some rain here tomorrow. Next weekend sounds like it might be nice.

Something very cool about listening to this type of chill show with the atmospherics of SW over top the music...but you know what's also over top the music? Jammers. With their own SSTV B.S. and music snippets. They are sporadic. I'm going to ask them to please stop. Chillout and enjoy the vibe guys. Let DW relax a little after that big stack of delicious flapjacks, bacon, sausage and eggs I just had.

....and just as I wrote that the show ended. Damn. Okay thanks for the show Skippy.
