Lori returns from her family vacation and we catch up, barely, on all the things!
We start off discussing travel, one of our favorite topics, and the joy and challenges of family dynamics....then we roll into so many topics.
Here are some highlights:
Political Parlour: United States Debt ceiling. Could someone smarter than us come on the show and explain this to us?
We put a pin on the train derailments, environmental disasters, and other indicators of the United States' infrastructure and world wide collapse.
We highlight some candidates we're rooting for, running for Off-Year Elections, in the state of Virginia:
