We've got all kinds of stuff. And to support the show, if you buy the merchandise, it helps pay for airtime.
[00:03:18] And I donate a lot of money for our BMI music license, and we have to have that every year. So I always donate for that. And that's my contribution. As well as doing two radio shows a week, which is fine. I enjoy doing them. I enjoy everybody that's in the group. But anyhow, join us.

[00:04:21] And by the way, tell your friends about us and have them join us every Wednesday, live, live right here on the Trim radio network at 08:00 p.m.
[00:04:32] we always do some shout outs and of course, a big shout out to Michael Behoss and everybody, Victoria Smith and Gee whiz, Roscala Stevens. Hey, we got a whole bunch of guys to shout out at. And a big shout out to the Trim radio network for carrying the show. And we've been doing different shows, different years, two different networks, and we have fun doing it. Anyhow, guys, big shout out to the University of Findlay at WW dot. Findlay.edu, located in Findley, Ohio. It's a very good school, and they are division two NCAA in sports. And they're also, this fall, they're also going to be in not only division two two, but division three because the University of Bluffton is going to join and merge with the University of Findlay. Anyhow, that's what's going on.
[00:05:36] And if you hear dings in the background, I'm having problems with Facebook. It's always putting up notifications and I turn them off, believe it or not. But these dings, they've been driving me crazy lately. If anybody knows how to turn those off and make all the noises cease, I would greatly appreciate it. But anyhow, guys, the University of Finley in sports, I'll tell you right now, they had 19, dig that, 19 named all american.
[00:06:10] And it was to the. And I gotta. I don't want to give out the initials all the time. It was the US track and field, if I can find it. Yes, US track and field championships. And I'll tell you what, it's cross country Coaches association two. And we had 19 of those students on the all american list from the University of Finley. Now, that's pretty good.
[00:06:40] They've also had a very good season in women's golf. They went to the NCAA Division two finals. Hey, that's not too shabby. And they're good in other sports. But primarily, the University of Finley is good academically. You can get a bachelor's degree, a master's degree or a doctoral degree in certain areas.
[00:07:04] And it's a great school, good facilities, great dorm life. If you want to live in dorms or if you want to live in apartments, they have those available, too. It's a great campus. Everything is basically within walking distance on the main campus. And if you go to the equestrian campus and the pre veterinary campus, that's going to be a bus ride over there. Or if you go to the hazardous materials center, then you will have to take transportation there. And all three sites are located in Findlay, Ohio. And with the merger with the University of Bluffton, if you can't find the classes you want to take at the University of Finley, which I really doubt, but if you can't find them, you can always sign up at the University of Bluffton, which is 20 miles away. And so they will be sharing campuses and classes and so forth. It's going to be a great merger. It really is. And I imagine it will still go with their two separate names. I don't think University of Bluffton will suddenly be called the University of Finley, but check them out. It's www dot findle y.edu. it's a darn good school. Reasonable price. They do have scholarships for students and international students, too.
[00:08:26] It's amazing. It is. It was an amazing place to go when I was there way back when. I think Methuselah just graduated before I did.
[00:08:37] I don't know. It was way back and we had fun and it was a great time. And I could write a book about that campus, but I won't because I'd have too much fun in there besides the studying part to kill some of the tension because it was a good academic school.
[00:08:57] We did certain pranks and we had fun doing them, and everybody had fun. Anyhow, big shout out to the University of Finley. Also, check out rusty ducks custom pens and blanks on Facebook.
[00:09:08] If your company, your school, your fraternity, your sorority, your club wants to have a custom pen made. I know Michael B. Oss and I both have pens made by Phil at Rusty Ducks custom pens. You want to check them out on Facebook. It's r u s t y d u k apostrophe s, custom pens and blanks. And you definitely want to check them out. Phil has sold pins to Disney World. He's been in trade shows different places, and it's really something else. He does a really good job. So you want to check him out. And that's Phil over at Rusty Duck's custom pens and blanks. Also, you want to check out money and change. Every Sunday right here on the trim radio network. We'll be talking a lot about finances and what's going on with the banks. Some of the rumors I've heard, I can't confirm everything. Just rumors here and there. And so we have that. Also, we have my world live laugh or whatever. And that's right here on Wednesdays at 08:00 p.m. so money change at seven on Sunday and my world 08:00 p.m. every Wednesday. Also check out the big family homestead with Brad and Krista.
[00:10:29] They're still in Wisconsin. I'm not sure if they're moving to Iowa or not. They have some interesting things, and I've listened to a couple of their videos this week, and they're interesting people and they talk about a lot of real world life stuff. So check them out. That's Brad and Krista at the big family homestead. Also the deep south homestead with Danny and Wanda king down in Wiggins, Mississippi. Not only do they talk about growing crops and farm life, but Danny also talks about what's going on in the world and how we need to prepare for it. And he calls it porch time.
[00:11:07] Yeah, porch time, believe it or not. And he's very, very intelligent. He's done a lot more than farming. He was also in construction and a few other things. Very intelligent person, just like Wanda.
[00:11:24] So you have to follow him on YouTube. Also check out southern prepper one with Dave Kobler. And Dave talks a lot about the economics and what's going on, a little bit about prepping, as does Danny and Wanda King. Also you want to check out David Gilmore, the LDS prepper. If you're having problems with growing some crops and the soil is not right or whatever, he's done over 900 videos on that and prepping and using things like GMRS radios and communicating. And you know, I've always talked about GMRS radios and you can get them on Amazon or you can get them at by twowayradios.com. and there are other places. Myself, I use the ocean brand and it's Wouxun.
[00:12:25] This is what I have, and I have the 935 g and it is a great radio. I can talk from my home all the way to Dayton, Ohio, which is 35 miles away, and hit a repeater there and talk to a lot of people. And I can also link up with other repeaters and talk to even more people. And I'm basically on five different repeaters right now, and I have fun. So when I go up to Findlay, I switch over to that repeater and I can talk to people up in Finley, Ohio if I want to go up to Sydney, Ohio. I'm on their frequency up there for their repeater. So it's kind of interesting. And basically I can go from here almost to Cincinnati. And if I get the right codes, I could probably talk to people in Cincinnati too, from just a little five watt handheld unit.
[00:13:25] So all you need to do is get a license. And the license is so easy. It's $35. There's no test. Just pay it over the Internet on your credit card. They will send you the verification and your call sign. Okay. And the best thing is everybody in your family can use it.
[00:13:48] So I can take and give the radios on, say, behave themselves, and they can talk to anybody they want to talk to on that GMR radio that has a similar radio. And there's the frequency. It's a good deal, trust me. So we have all of that. Oh, what else do I have going on Appalachia's homestead.
[00:14:11] Yeah, Appalachia somested, I want to tell you right now, the appalachian homestead with Patara, she's talking about migrants and basically people that don't have a.
[00:14:28] I don't want to call it. They live in tents and the rent is too high, so they have to move or they can't afford the rent. And they're basically living in tents, and they're basically moving into Knoxville. The Knoxville area in Tennessee. And Patara lives around Knoxville. I don't know where, but I've been to Knoxville. It's a really nice area. If you've ever heard of Pigeon Forge in Gatlinburg, I want to tell you something. It's in that area somewhere, but it's a nice place to go also.
[00:15:05] Oh, what else can I talk about?
[00:15:08] Oh, there are other shows that we have to do. We've got a lot of shows on the Trim radio network, and we've got adventure awaits around the bend. We've got ranch it up with Tigger and Beck. We've got life walk with Christ God. And that's Michael Bayhas, my good buddy.
[00:15:24] Money and change.
[00:15:26] We've also got take point 22.
[00:15:29] We have slobbernocker talk in the fall and offsides college football top 25 in the fall. We have the Nixie weekly radio roundup. We've also got the natural marketer podcast with Victoria Smith. And she's good about marketing. She really knows her stuff. And if you want to get on the trim radio network, get a hold of Victoria, okay. And listen to her show. It's the natural Marketer podcast. Also, check out Roscala Stevens. And he's got his red pill reality show, and he always says, take the red pill or the blue pill. It's your choice. And I keep telling him, hey, I want the green pill. I haven't heard any response back on that.
[00:16:24] Wow. So much for all the shoutouts and stuff. I always have to give shout outs, because a lot of people say, well, gee whiz, what's going on in your world? And I'm constantly doing research, and sometimes I'm on the Internet and I'm looking at all different kinds of stuff.
[00:16:45] And I'll tell you what, some things are getting awful scary out there.
[00:16:50] Now, I have something here on the trim radio network. You know your kids are out of school right now, right?
[00:16:58] Okay. School's out. School's out. Teacher let the monkeys out. Right? Okay. And the monkeys are home. They're probably driving you crazy, and they're, they're making you go totally nuts. Okay, so what do you do? Well, there was a thing that came up, and I posted it on our Facebook site, which is the trim radio network. My world, you know, life, laugh and whatever. And I post things there weekly, and this one popped up. In case your children are already bored, teach them something new and important.
[00:17:33] So there are 40 old fashioned skills that kids need to know. Now, if you go to our Facebook page, take a look at it. It's a trim radio network, my world page. Take a look at it because there are things in there you can teach your kids probably, hopefully better than the teacher teaches them.
[00:17:55] You never know with the teachers we have today. And I'm not really knocking them because they're pretty educated people, but they can only teach so much stuff in the school day. But here, here are a few. How to write a letter, how to make a phone call.
[00:18:11] The kids could probably teach you that on their cell phones.
[00:18:15] How to take a message, how to converse with an elder.
[00:18:21] A lot of people have to learn how to converse with each other. I don't care if it's a politician to politician. I don't care if it's student to student, parent to student, whatever. People need to take time to communicate, talk and talk intelligently.
[00:18:44] How about how to sew on a button, how to generally apologize, how to hammer a nail. I mean, who's taught you how to do things? Remember, they used to have home ec and they used to have shop class, and they don't have them now in a lot of schools. And so you don't have the skills of learning how to cook. You don't have the skills on how to make things.
[00:19:15] I remember when I was in shop, my first shop class, we were given canned lids from a number ten can. They're about so big, and we put them in a special shaped mold. We dulled the edges and we pounded them into ashtrays because back then parents smoked. And so we made ashtrays, and that was the first week, and we made all kinds of decorative ashtrays. And we went from that to soldering and building things. I built a bookcase and assembled it and glued it and nailed it and everything else.
[00:19:52] And it was a nice, nice bookcase. It was stained. It was just really nice. But I learned that in junior high, which would be 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade. So we had that. So you have to learn how to do things electrical. Now, they don't let me around electrical stuff because I have a tendency to get shocked.
[00:20:17] I just. I know I'm attractive to electrons, so I have to stay away from stuff like that. I got zapped by a 220 circuit one time, and that makes you stand up and take notice. How to balance a checkbook. A lot of people need to do that now. How to manage your money.
[00:20:36] How to do laundry.
[00:20:38] Yeah. Have you ever had white stuff? You're doing them, and you all of a sudden, you find something pink mixed in there because you didn't take time to separate it. And now all the white stuff is pink.
[00:20:52] Yeah.
[00:20:54] And it's hard to get that out.
[00:20:56] How to make scrambled eggs, how to do laundry, how to garden. You know, right now they're teaching kids how to do a garden, and they did that back during World War one and world War two. They were showing kids how to grow things, and it's important. Do you have a garden started?
[00:21:16] I know right now my cilantro is starting to come up, and I've got radishes getting ready to come up. I'm going to be putting in zucchini, and I'll have tomatoes and no heat. Jalapeno peppers. I love the flavor on those things. So that'll be coming up. How to have a healthy meal, how to do a budget.
[00:21:39] A lot of people don't do budgets. They have to learn how to do that. Do you know how to read a map? How about check your tire pressure? Okay. Go to our trim radio network, my world live laugh and whatever page. Check it out, because that is there. Gives you ideas. Keep the kids busy, if you know what I mean. So, you know, we post a lot of different things there.
[00:22:04] Poverty cuisine. There was a video on that.
[00:22:09] It was the 1927 poverty cuisine, and it would 20 delicious foods for the poor in 1927. And sometimes even now, you go to a restaurant and you see pot roast dinners, homemade vegetable soup, chili, and everything else. A lot of different dinners.
[00:22:34] And they're still around. Why? Because people like them.
[00:22:39] They really taste good. So you can check that out on our facebook page for my world.
[00:22:45] Now we've got a lot of people in our group. Oh, let's see. Who can I single out today? Oh, David. Out in Utah. We can say we can pick on you a little bit. Went to school with David. He's a very good artist. Still is today.
[00:23:02] He's really fantastic. Dottie. Hey, I know Dottie. She looked too far from me and went to school with her. And we have a lot of fun on Facebook.
[00:23:15] Oh, yeah. And then there's Kelly. Oh, yeah, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. I've known Kelly for quite a while.
[00:23:25] And then we've got Karen and we've got Rochelle.
[00:23:33] Oh, my goodness. We've got Michael Bayjas and we've got Sarah and we've got Gary and we've got Dora and of course, my good buddy Jerry.
[00:23:49] Jerry's about eight or 9 miles from me, and he's a ham radio operator and he's also into GMRs and he's a buddy. And we have a lot of fun talking back and forth. It's a good deal. But check us out on my world live. Laughing. Whatever. Okay. Just check us out on Facebook.
[00:24:11] Okay. Now we start getting into things like public service announcements. Oh, no, he's gonna do one. Yeah, I've got several to do because if I don't and suddenly this stuff happens, you're going to be in trouble.
[00:24:28] Are you going to run into birds that sneeze?
[00:24:32] Have you ever talked about bird flu? Do you remember bird flu?
[00:24:39] Yeah. I've had people talk about bird flu, and I want to tell you something. It's out there.
[00:24:46] It is out there and you have to check into it because that's what they're pushing right now. The whole is talking about bird flu and this popped up in zero hedge. And who confirms bird flu death in Mexico as trust the science experts want to test America's 40 million cows.
[00:25:13] Okay, I don't know about you, but I am not going to take a thermometer, put on rubber gloves and go up the a cow. That ain't going to happen.
[00:25:25] I'm not going to reach in the cow's mouth and take a saliva sample.
[00:25:31] How do we get bird flu going to cows? How do we get bird flu going to birds? Is it man made?
[00:25:42] I kind of wonder about all this stuff, but right now they're saying that the Mexican International health regulations national focal point, or the NFP, reported to Paho, who a confirmed fatal case of human infection with avian influentia A and then in parentheses, h five n two virus, and it was detected in a residence in the state of Mexico and they were hospitalized in Mexico City. This is the first laboratory confirmed human case of infection with an influenza virus reported globally and the first avian h five virus infection in a person.
[00:26:37] Okay, I've reported it. And you know, we always talked about the woohoo who flew. And remember I said, you know, be sensible, wash your hands, don't hang around a bunch of coughing people.
[00:26:54] If you can get your hands on some ivermectin or hydrochloroquine, you can take it if you want.
[00:27:03] I do.
[00:27:05] Did I get the flu? No. Did I get a cold? No. The only thing I have are allergies. And right now in Ohio, how the grass pollen is up and that really drives me crazy. Okay?
[00:27:23] But I didn't catch the flu. I don't catch colds.
[00:27:28] I watch what I do, where I go wash my hands, if I think I've got some infected surfaces in my house. Everything's clean. Okay. That's all you have to do.
[00:27:42] And it's not difficult to get ivermectin.
[00:27:48] This is kind of container of something. I've got four left, but I use it and it has a lot of uses other than horse dewormer.
[00:28:02] So anyhow, that's what I do. I use it and I haven't caught the flu yet. I know other people that use it. They haven't caught the flu and they've been around some people that had the flu. So I don't know about the avian virus. Okay, I'm just warning you about it. Now, some of the things that were said, who's chief scientist Jeremy Farrar, F a r r A R. Has recently said the bird flu among cows is very concerning.
[00:28:32] Can cows fly?
[00:28:36] Well, anyhow, we know exactly what they're planning and they want to start ordering ranchers to cull millions of cattle so real meat prices can skyrocket. Nobody except the Davos group can afford to eat meat.
[00:28:56] Well, don't buy your meat from a big processing company. Buy them from the local farmers.
[00:29:02] Buy them from the local butchers.
[00:29:06] That's what I do.
[00:29:09] In recent notes, there was a thing that was penned the escalating threat of avian influenza, h five n one, and the ethical quandary of gain of function research.
[00:29:24] Check it out. And it's on zero hedge. And you can check that out. Here's what they say. The question arises, if human to human cases surge and it's clear that the who, what about the who?
[00:29:42] Anyhow, the who focuses for this pandemic is cals.
[00:29:48] What actions will the government be forced to take regarding these animals?
[00:29:54] However, don't worry. If cows are called to save the planet from bird flu, Bill Gates will be ready to offer cricket burgers and fake meat New York strips. Yeah, right, cricket burgers. Forget it.
[00:30:12] I don't eat insects. I don't want to eat insects. So anyhow, that's the first one that we're talking about. The who.
[00:30:19] Okay, you take a look at the homeless that's going on right now. There was a report by Mike Snyder, the economic collapse blog, and it said during the Great Depression they were called Hoovervilles, but today America's shantytowns are also called Bidenville's.
[00:30:44] Yeah, that's exactly what Patara was talking about in Appalachia's homestead, and she was talking about this today.
[00:30:58] So they've been talking about Bidenville. You can check that out on zero hedge. And I think I'll be talking a little bit about that on Sunday. Okay, so that's your next public service announcement.
[00:31:12] Now for the biggie.
[00:31:16] Do you like spiders, bugs, snakes, all kinds like that.
[00:31:25] Yeah.
[00:31:27] The one thing I don't like is spiders. And I know some spiders are very helpful. They get rid of certain types of insects, but then there are other types of spiders, the big ones that I don't like.
[00:31:43] And then there's the brown recluse spider.
[00:31:47] I don't like them either. A friend of mine got bit by a brown recluse one time and it started. The venom started eating a pocket in her skin. And they had to give her anti venom, keep her up for 24 hours with no sleep.
[00:32:02] And if anything weird started to happen, she had to go directly to the hospital in the ambulance.
[00:32:12] So brown recluses don't like to be around people.
[00:32:18] They like dark places, dusty, dingy places. If you have a deck outside, under the deck, you will find brown recluse spiders. If you live anywhere. Um, I would say in Ohio, farther south.
[00:32:35] I'm not sure if they're in Wisconsin or not. Brown recluse? Yeah, worries me. Um, what's another one? Black widows.
[00:32:45] I haven't seen any black widows around here. How about tarantulas?
[00:32:52] Some people have tarantulas as pets. Can you believe that?
[00:32:59] I don't want to get bit by tarantula. And I don't know if they have a nasty misdemeanor as they're crawling across your skin.
[00:33:08] I don't like spiders. Creepy, crawly things. It just gets me? Well, there was a thing that came out on Yahoo. Today and it said venomous flying spiders with four inch legs spread across the east coast. So if you're on the east coast of the US, you got to watch out for these venomous flying spiders, man. Four inch legs, they're about that long.
[00:33:37] Five inches would be from thumb to my little finger.
[00:33:41] But anyhow, the article said, first came the spotted lanternflies, and then the cicadas, and now the spiders. The northeast us is bracing for an invasion of giant venomous spiders with four inch long legs that can parachute through the air.
[00:34:03] Earlier this year, New Jersey pest control warned of the incoming spiders, saying, the Joro spiders, that's J O r O spiders will be hard to miss, as females have a leg span of up to four inches and are known for their vibrant yellow and gray bodies.
[00:34:25] What sets them apart, however, is their ability to fly, a trait uncommon among spiders. And that's what the company said. And while not accurate in flight, the avian sense, the juro spiders utilize a technique known as a ballooning, where they release soak threads into the air, allowing them to be carried by the wind.
[00:34:53] And Jose Ramirez Garofalo, who's an ecologist at Rutger university at the Lockwood lab and the president of the Protectors of Pine Oak woods on Staten island, told SI Live. Which I believe is probably science.
[00:35:14] Something just my guess.
[00:35:17] It's a matter of when, if not if, the spiders arrive in New York and New Jersey.
[00:35:24] And a peer review study published last October by the invasive species expert David Coyle, C O Y L E, found that the invasive species are here to stay. The arachnids. The spiders are native to Asia, but were introduced to North Georgia around 2010, the study said.
[00:35:53] Okay, so if you see these things flying through the air with a yellow thorax, yellow and gray thorax, be worried. I know when I was in the Bahamas years and years ago, back in the late seventies, I was down on a four fire field station trip for Capital University and we were camping out at high tide, or actually 10ft above high tide on Andros island, and we were scuba diving, snorkeling, doing whatever on the island, having a good time over Christmas break, and in the tent with about six guys or no, it was eight guys.
[00:36:40] We always cleaned the tent out every day. One day, early morning, we cleaned out the tent and shook out all of the sleeping bags and everything else. There was a big spider, and the thorax on that spider was as big as my hand.
[00:36:56] It was a big one, and one of the guys tried to kill it with a broom, and it didn't work.
[00:37:01] Instead, he stomped on it with his boot, and this green slime went all over his boot. I mean, it was gross.
[00:37:09] That was a big spider, and it was sleeping with everybody through the night.
[00:37:15] And we always checked for stuff like that, but that somehow it just decided to crawl in and curl up.
[00:37:22] Yeah, I don't like spiders, okay? So watch out for the spider.
[00:37:29] Okay? You got to watch out for it. Check it out. CB's News. Venomous flying spiders. Okay, so check that out. The next one we've got.
[00:37:40] Okay, you ready for this one?
[00:37:44] Have you ever heard of a massaga rattlesnake?
[00:37:50] Ma s s a S S M a s s a s a u g a. Missaga rattlesnake.
[00:38:01] Well, it came out according to something that popped up in Yahoo.
[00:38:06] One of the three venomous snakes native to Ohio. The eastern massaga is rare in Ohio and only found in a few select locations. One of them is down around Springfield, Ohio, cedar bog.
[00:38:22] And there was another one in Ohio, according to the Ohio Division of Wildlife. And they released an email about it. The snake has been historically recorded in 30 Ohio counties, but only seen in nine since 1976, according to the reptiles of Ohio Field Guide.
[00:38:42] And that's produced by the Ohio Division of Wildlife. And it's also known as the swamp rattler or the black snapper. The snake is considered very sluggish and according to the Ohio field Guide, and rarely bites unless thoroughly provoked.
[00:39:02] Its bite, while containing a highly toxic venom, is rarely fatal to a healthy adult. Because a typical bite doesn't deliver enough venom to be lethal. It probably makes you regret that you were bitten, though.
[00:39:17] The snake is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species act of 2016, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
[00:39:29] So you can find them in swamps.
[00:39:32] Yeah.
[00:39:35] So now, we talked about snakes, we've talked about spiders, we've talked about avian flu. Oh, it's going to give me the willies tonight. Am I going to be able to sleep or what?
[00:39:48] I don't know. Now, the massaga rattlesnake has a base color of gray, tan, yellow, or brown, according to Ohio state. And the top of the body is covered in brown, blotched skin that or scales that run through the length of the snake. And its belly is black with the occasional white or yellowish mark. Now, am I going to pick up a snake and look at it? Come on, get real. Okay, the snakes there, I know we've got water moccasins. We've also got, in some areas, rattlesnakes.
[00:40:25] We've got copperheads, and now we've got the eastern massaga.
[00:40:31] Okay.
[00:40:33] I don't know about you, but I'll stay away from them. Okay. Southern Ohio, we've, we've got the eastern copperhead, and we've also got the timber rattlesnake. So anytime I go down to Athens, Ohio.
[00:40:48] Oh, there's a story on that one on Athens. Holy cow. I went to get tickets for homecoming, and trying to get tickets to the football game on Saturday was an impossible thing.
[00:41:04] Excellent credit. My credit card wouldn't work, and you have to buy it through the credit card.
[00:41:11] And then they send a picture to your phone the day of the game, and that's how you get into the game. I always keep all the documentation in case I have to prove that I don't know how to use a phone. Okay. A third grader could probably show me how to use a phone, but no.
[00:41:28] Oh, but, you know, the snake. Snakes are down there, and water mocking are down there, and copperheads and all that kind of stuff. There are snakes out there. Okay.
[00:41:40] I don't like to play with snakes.
[00:41:42] Don't like to play with spiders either.
[00:41:46] There was a thing popped out on CNN. How many of you been flying to different places on vacation or business? There was a thing on CNN. Passenger tracks missing luggage to home of airport store worker who is now charged with the felony theft.
[00:42:08] And it said a Florida man is facing a felony grand theft charge in Broward county, which would be Miami, after a plucky airline passenger scheduled to fly out of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport. I've been there before. In March. Tractor stolen luggage to a man's home, according to the probable cause affidavit in the case.
[00:42:36] Oh, yeah. Do you use air tags?
[00:42:39] Put airtags in your luggage so it can be tracked. It's a good thing to do.
[00:42:45] Or don't put anything in there that you're going to miss. And I know when I always take a trip on a case on an airline, I always take a briefcase, and I can unlock it and show everybody what's in there at TSA, close it back up, lock it up, and go on with it. And that suitcase does not leave my site.
[00:43:10] And I have various things in that suitcase that I make sure that I keep with me during the whole trip, any important papers or whatever.
[00:43:21] And I've always done that. So watch out if you're missing something, you want to report it as soon as possible. Airtags in the luggage. Please find a way to identify your luggage, because when you put it on the plane, you can't lock the luggage.
[00:43:40] It has to go through TSA, and then they put it to the line. I don't like that. I can show them what's there. I like to lock it back up and then put it back on the plane.
[00:43:51] Wow.
[00:43:53] Did you know that thieves are stealing water hydrants in LA County?
[00:44:01] I knew California was going nuts, but this is ridiculous. There was an article that was out on the Los Angeles Times, thieves are stealing LA county fire hydrants by the hundreds, and the utility is now trying to outsmart them. Okay, right. Guys walking down the street with a fire hydrant under its arm.
[00:44:23] Sounds like a joke.
[00:44:26] Maybe for his pet dog, I don't know. But they said thieves have stolen at least 302 hydrants since the start of 2023 in several areas of the county, according to the Golden State Water Company.
[00:44:42] And many of the thefts have occurred in the communities of Florence Hyphen, Graham, Willowbrook, and the west ranchero on name. It's hard for me to do Dominguez, as well as eastern Garden or gardena, near the 110 freeway. And sometimes thieves have unscrewed bolts to remove the hydrants. And other times, they've used a vehicle to knock the hydrant loose while the water is going everywhere. Somebody's walking down the street with a hydrant. What are you gonna do?
[00:45:21] And can he run off with the hydrant under his arm?
[00:45:25] Those things are heavy.
[00:45:27] I don't know about you, but I would not want to mess with it. And the force of the water coming out of that hydrant would be enough to bounce you around the street a little bit. Okay. Hey, TJ Maxx.
[00:45:40] The thing came up on CNN. Business workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are now wearing police like body cameras.
[00:45:51] Yeah, catch thieves.
[00:45:55] Retail giant TJX and the parent of TJ Maxx, Marshalls and home goods, said it's equipping some store employees with body cameras to thwart shoplifting and keep customers and employees safe.
[00:46:14] Oh, yeah. And the article showed the pictures of the cameras are in different colors, like green, blue, white, red, and dark green.
[00:46:27] A lot of. A lot of theft is going on. What about dollar general? You know, do they have theft going on?
[00:46:36] You know, Axiom Enterprise, Axon. Axon Enterprises, which owns the Taser and primarily develops technology and products for police, launched a body workforce camera this year for retail and healthcare workers.
[00:46:54] And these cameras are lighter than once Axon develops for police officers because they don't record for as long and require as much battery life.
[00:47:10] So you better behave yourself when you're in TJ, Maxx or in other stores because they may be having those cameras. Okay?
[00:47:20] One thing that brought things to mind, you know, June is always graduation month, not only from high school, but college or grad school, for that matter. Do you remember what happened? Or even the 8th grade. My goodness, you can go back to 8th grade, and people graduate from 8th grade, and they go on to junior high and then high school.
[00:47:44] Do you remember what high school graduation was like? You know, we always had practices, and the principal would gather everybody in the graduating class, and we'd all go to one side of the auditorium, and we'd stand there and he would have this list, and it would be alphabetical.
[00:48:06] And he would go down through this line, and he would go all the way through a to z, and then he would say, okay, now make sure that you're standing right where you're at. Look left and right. Find your neighbor, okay? Touch your neighbor on the shoulder, okay? That's on the left of you. Touch the one on the right of you. And now that's where you're supposed to be. Well, the first practice we had in the auditorium, we're all standing there, you know, like, oh, boy, we just want to get this over with. And the principal came in and it.
[00:48:42] Everybody called him squint because he did squint, okay?
[00:48:51] And so the principle is there. And squint was going through his list and telling people, okay, pipe down, pipe down, get in line, do this, do that. And finally he goes through and he gets the a's lined up, and then he gets the b's and the c's. And he gets to the d's and he starts going and he goes through, and finally he gets all the way to the end, which we had a z person with the first name of Z, or last name of Z, rather. And there's one person left on the other side of the auditorium where we started, and squint says, hey, have I called everybody's name? And on the other side, there was this lone person waving his hand.
[00:49:49] He says, squint, you forgot me. You forgot me.
[00:49:58] And he goes to Reese less. He's looking at, he goes, not this year, Dankworth.
[00:50:07] And he goes, gee whiz, I'm a third year senior.
[00:50:15] I don't think Dankworth was that smart.
[00:50:19] That actually happened. It really did. And some of the humor behind it, but it was also embarrassment. A third year senior, you think you get the hint and then you go to college, and you get all lined up for college. You remember you go to baccalaureate, and then you go to graduation the next day.
[00:50:41] And usually in between the two, there's some partying going on, some serious partying, okay?
[00:50:47] And I can remember graduating, and some of the guys who remain nameless like to drink Mickey's malt liquor.
[00:51:02] And we weren't supposed to have anything on campus, but since we were graduating that day, the night before, they decided, okay, if we drink these Mickey malt cans and we stack them up and they cover the tv, which is bolted into the wall 6ft above the floor, will stop.
[00:51:23] Well, everybody was happy. And then they had to figure out where to put the cans.
[00:51:30] So we had a maid, a janitorial maid for the campus, and they decided to put them inside the closet, stack them up, and shut the door.
[00:51:46] They said they heard a clink the next morning as they were leaving for graduation. And they have their gowns in hand, and they're getting ready to leave.
[00:51:55] Maria, who was the. She was the best maid. I mean, she was. She was a sweetheart.
[00:52:02] She opened up the door and all the cans fell on her. Oh, we learned more spanish as we were going out the door. Oh, man, it was something else.
[00:52:11] And so that was going on.
[00:52:14] And luckily we graduated. We packed up and we left.
[00:52:19] But Maria got even with me one time. I came back from class, and all of a sudden she decided to go, you want to try something to eat? And I said, well, what do you got? And she says, these little rice Krispies things and these little green peppers.
[00:52:39] And my college roommate was with me, and he goes, oh, I'll try one. I said, okay, I'll try one. What do you do? She says, put the peppers in your mouth first, and then go ahead and put the Rice Krispies in there, whatever. They were chewing real quick, and then swallow.
[00:52:56] And I did. I didn't really taste anything. And then all of a sudden, fire came out my nostrils and my ears and my mouth. I mean, I was on total fire. I ran to the drinking fountain, and I was drinking as much water as I could, as fast as I could. My roommate did the same thing. And then Jerry comes running over. We're fighting over the same water fountain that we never fought before. I mean, I would be on it. He'd pull me off. And it was. We were pulling each other off, and Maria was over there laughing like crazy. So I imagine the can incident on the morning of graduation was payback. Sorry, Maria. That's the way it goes. Anyhow so that's going on. Just all kinds of funny stuff going on at graduation.
[00:53:43] You know, wrinkle city. You have to check them out on Weebly.
[00:53:47] Okay.
[00:53:50] Last time, we talked about statements in the church bulletin, and there was a new preacher who wanted to rent a house in the country. And the only house available was rumored to be haunted. And since the preacher didn't believe in such things, he rented it.
[00:54:10] And it wasn't long before the ghost made its appearance. And the preacher told his friends about the ghost, but they didn't believe him. And they told him the way they would believe it is if he would take a picture with or of the ghost. And the preacher went home and called for the ghost. Here, ghost. Here, ghost. And when it appeared, the preacher explained the situation and asked the ghost if it would mind having its picture taken. And the ghost agreed.
[00:54:45] Well, when the picture was developed, the ghost wasn't visible. And feeling very disappointed, the preacher called again for the ghost. And when it appeared, the preacher showed at the picture and wanted to know why the ghost wasn't in it. And the ghost thought a minute and replied, well, I guess the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.
[00:55:10] I know. Boo. Hiss.
[00:55:14] A little medical joke here. You know, during his routine medical check, Patty, the irishman asked the doctor, do you think I'll live long and healthy for my life?
[00:55:29] And the doctor said, I doubt it.
[00:55:33] Mercury is in Uranus right now.
[00:55:40] And Patty said, I don't go in for any of that astrology nonsense.
