We're back.

Between Producer Jim's birthday, Kruiser's travels, and last week's celebration of Take the Natives' Land Away Day, we missed a bunch of shows in a row.

Sorry about that, but these things occasionally happen.

While we were gone, France blew up, the American Left revealed some weird plan for taking power, and my puppy, Tito, is now up over 40 pounds and is still the cutest thing you ever saw.

So we have that going for us. Which is nice.
