	6:33am 12539: (lazy belated "Ruth!")
	6:34am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning 12539!
	6:36am ignatatus666: 7 Chakras
	6:37am ignatatus666: Greetings Sir That was refreshing
	6:38am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning ignatatus666!
	6:40am Toothgrinder Tom: Can’t get enough ... of this drone-y stuff!
	6:44am ignatatus666: Many of the descriptions for solfeggio and binaural read Do not listen while driving As if you are about to literally be lifted out of body Eat good folks so it never happens
	6:44am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Toothgrinder Tom, and a shout out to Kool & The Gang!
	6:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Hi, Jeffrey!
	7:01am Jeffrey Davison: I meant to say 90.9 upstate. It's 91.9 FM in NYC and Rockland Co.
	7:03am James Douglas: Jeff, Colchester is a town in Delaware County. We have no Colchester County. But I agree it is a beautiful area.
	7:06am Jeffrey Davison: James, I am full of misinformation this morning. I was in Delaware County, and I think within the town of Colchester. I mixed that up! And in the Hudson Valley we broadcast at 90.1. Thanks!
	7:08am Cooh John: Good morning Jeffrey, Ruth, and planeteers. Time to start my day with this wonderful soundtrack to shrink all things negative and expand all things positive.
	7:09am ignatatus666: The areas of the FM vary. Westchester north west is 91.9 I rarely get a 91.9 signal in NYC West side Manhattan from the boat basin north nothing works along Henry Hudson nor the Saw Mill until you get past Valhalla. 90.1 works great out by Warwick NY so I imagine it’s great in North Jersey 91.1 is good in orange near the river
	7:09am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Cooh John! We can certainly try!
	7:09am Kevin-san: Good morning JD and Planet. I only have time for a brief listen live, but I do return to the SP archives during the week. Last week's show was a real gem!
	7:10am ignatatus666: Of course there is no guarantee on any of those signals.
	7:13am Fredericks: Good mornings Jeffrey and people of the shrinking planet. This Carlo Giustini has an interesting sound. The bass is more aggressive than in most ambient pieces. I like it.
	7:15am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Kevin-san and Fredericks!
	7:16am Jeffrey Davison: ignatatus666, thanks for the clarification. You clearly do enough driving to have sussed out where and how FMU comes in over the airwaves...
	7:26am Mark R: 90.9 is SUPPOSED to cover Manhattan and Rockland County, 91.1 for north Jersey, although not always great. When at home I always use wfmu.org as I'm doing now. Jeffrey, absolutely GORGEOUS music you're playing this morning.
	7:29am TDK60: Good morning Jeffrey and planeteers. It's been a while.
	7:30am Aaron Working In Newark: Beautiful set today Jeffrey... Wish I did not have to be at work...I would be eating some good acid right now.
	7:31am Jeffrey Davison: Mark R...thanks. Now I'm all mixed up, and going to try and find the right information...
	7:31am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning TDK60!
	7:33am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Aaron!
	7:33am ignatatus666: @MarkR My base is Peekskill NY so predominantly I listen on 91.9 . We are very close to the Rockland tower. Our problem up this way is the tower for 100.7 WHUD (Blech) as it’s in our back yard. That tower screws up signals like you wouldn’t believe. One night they were stepping on 3 stations at different spots of the FM dial. The FCC should be more concerned about that then anything else on the air.
	7:34am Mark R: You know--when you do the station ID at the top of the hour..."...in New York City and Rockland County at 90.9 FM blah blah blah." I'll probably remember that on my deathbed. Totally get it, Ignatius, there are parts of Brooklyn where our signal occasionally gets blown out by a pirate station over there. You can't do much about it in your car, but at home I listen online--now interference, no crackle, no snaps, no pops.
	7:35am ignatatus666: Jeffrey today’s show will definitely be played several times this week.
	7:35am Cooh John: Welcome back, TDK60.
	7:38am TDK60: Hi Cooh John..of Columbus, right? / I'm at home listening via the 91.1 signal, just for olde-fashionedness' sake.
	7:39am Andrew in Toronto: Good morning Jeffrey and all other Planetheads.
	7:40am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Andrew in Toronto!
	7:43am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to ignatatus666 and Mark R for all the info. Yes, in my car it can sometimes be frustrating, as in the case of getting interference from other stations, including pirate stations. There are places where FMU used to come in pretty good where it's now more iffy, but on the flip side there are lots more places where it's possible to hear the station.
	7:43am Yes: hi friends
	7:45am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Yes!
	7:46am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to Morris from Brooklyn for pledging, and thanks for the kind words. We're doing well, and this show is doing pretty well also, but a good chunk of $ still needed...
	7:51am Strandlund: Good Morning Jeffrey! Another beautiful start to a cold and wet morning...
	7:54am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Strandlund, and thanks!
	8:02am SmokinJ: Well stated jd! Good morning buddy! 8-)
	8:02am Cubicle Carl: I think these artists would all happily concur that you are definitely playing their singles.
	8:03am Strandlund: Well said Mr. Davison!!
	8:05am Deborah: Good Morning!
	8:05am Jeffrey Davison: SmokinJ, thanks. It's a sardonic joke (and what makes it sad is that my tongue is only partly in cheek) but it's hard not to make cracks like this, after all the crap that's come our way for the last 3-plus years. Thanks Cubicle Carl (and good morning) and Strandlund!
	8:05am TDK60: Dear DJ, do I detect a note of cynicism there? Hee. Of course the real fraud in "voter fraud" is the mendacity in spreading such a lie. Voter fraud is so rare as to be not worth even discussing. Voter suppression however is a real and widespread problem across these so-called democratic United States.
	8:05am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Deborah!
	8:12am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to pledgers Robert, and Michael, both from Jersey City! Thanks for supporting what we do. Robert: I've been on FMU since 1991. I can't recall when this show transitioned out of being strictly a folkie show, but it was a while ago.
	8:16am Jeffrey Davison: TDK60: For sure, this crap about supposed voter fraud pales in comparison to actual voter suppression, a very real and ongoing thing. Lots of examples. The harping on this by Orange Baby is so much more destructive than a handful of actual fraud cases and those of human error.
	8:16am Roadside Picnic: I think apathy used to be the ace in the pack particularly for large established parties. younger less affluent been less inclined to vote-for various reasons- maybe in future allowing a secure app for digital voting would improve participation and the validity of the outcome
	8:20am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Roadside Picnic! Lots to be done. Not sure about an app, but even something like allowing early votes to be tabulated before election day, to facilitate a quicker result, would be good. Seems like the standards for a federal election should be the same throughout the USA, but not sure what issues arise in trying to bring that about. Automatic registration at DMV seems like a good idea also, and registration closer to Election Day throughout the country. Also, Election Day should be a federal holiday. And electoral college, anyone?
	8:25am melinda: Morning friends!
	8:27am Heidee: Hi Shrunkies, pity I missed most of the show, will catch up in the archives. Great story-telling guitar there!
	8:28am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning melinda and Heidee!
	8:29am Roadside Picnic: @Jeffrey Davidson, yes I agree that some type of automatic voter registration-with an opt out-rather than hurdles to register. I live in Scotland where voting is tied in to having a permanent address (thats a UK wide thing and always been so)-maybe excludes or deters a lot of folks. And yes an app that could be trusted still some ways off but not impossible .
	8:33am Heidee: And so the sad fiddle comes on, expressing my feelings in that phone call having to deal with a very awkward narcissistic person the other day (Deborah: a parent of a student). The experience is still haunting me. I need to stop soaking up other people's fucked up emotions.
	8:34am Deborah: I will be dropping my ballot off Monday, trusting the designated ballot box at the area municipal building. Did anyone see the Oct. 18 New York Times Special Section by the Editorial Board condemning that bloviating buffoon on economic, moral, fiscal, and philosophical counts? Not wanting to sound NPR-like, but it is an important read and if you were not ready to vote Blue, you most likely would be after reading. Yes, agree that election day should be a Federal holiday. I am always surprised when it is not. When I worked on newspapers, it was tough to just leave and vote. I have let classes out early and urged students who could vote to do so. And that electoral college has to go! This is not a country of old white men anymore!
	8:34am YETI BOB: Let's eliminate the Electoral College, and while we're at it, let's rethink this Senate thing...
	8:35am TDK60: If this country (U$A) wanted to, we could make sure everyone gets to vote, and on a national holiday. We have an outdated constitution, and the "electoral college" should go. Democracy is very pseudo here.
	8:36am Jeffrey Davison: Heidee: sorry to hear. I can't really imagine where part of my job would consist of having to deal with the needs of so many people, without taking too much of it in...
	8:36am YETI BOB: @Deborah: It doesn't even have to be about "white men" (I am one). It could just be about "fair representation" and "one vote per person".
	8:37am Earth Walker: Tuned in Melllowed out Peace Calm Happy
	8:39am Jeffrey Davison: Deborah, I agree with almost all you say, and by the old white men you mean the founding fathers, I guess that's mostly true too, but I agree with YETI BOB on this...fair representation and one vote per person.
	8:39am Deborah: @Heidee; Oh, I am so sorry! You get the parents and I get raging students. It is midterm time and emails and phone calls range from sad to accusatory. They are upsetting but not as much as they used to be. As teachers, we might be naturally empathic and process other people's emotions while those others suck our energy (qi suckers). I can feel it sometimes. I hope the parent phone rant resolved somewhat positively ad if it continues, try to detach from the words of the parent. And it is temporary. The wretched family will move on.
	8:40am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Earth Walker...glad you're enjoying...
	8:40am TDK60: Good morning Yeti Bob of Chicago. I saw a sentence that made me think the other day. Wyoming with 570,000 people has 2 senators as does California with 39 million.
	8:41am Jeffrey Davison: YETI BOB: it sure seems like the Senate has an awful lot of power, and more skewed, I think, than when this system was set up so long ago.
	8:42am Earth Walker: Good Morning Jeffery Thanks
	8:42am Deborah: @Yeti Bob, Of course! I am a white woman who will be 70 very soon. Still, I haven't lost my rage! Anyway, looking from the historical standpoint and composition of the electoral college (should be capitalized but I can't), it is composed that way. Agree about fair representation. It should be the vote. Period. No electoral college of any kind.
	8:42am Heidee: @Deborah + Jeffery, thank you for your soothing words. It does help. So does - if you can see that, @Yes - your wishing me luck before that call. You guys are amazing. I love you.
	8:46am Deborah: @Heidee So, this is the last weekend of my compressed Business Communications online class; seven weeks to do 15 weeks of work. I have to grade hundreds of responses of a class of 23. Students are resubmitting, emailing, demanding, and begging. I am so over it, as they might say! Then, post grades, and the onslaught will begin. After this, only two courses remain. And so it goes.
	8:49am clarke: thanks, JD!! the MUSIC again proves a salve to the current situation, which i actively choose to ignore. great show, and thanks!
	8:49am Heidee: @Deborah, I would have never been able to guess your age but since you stated it, I can sense your wisdom of life. I respect that so much. - Onslaught, tally-ho! Get them! - Isn't this a fantastic soundtrack to be chatting. I love the clarity. It clears the soul and the heart.
	8:50am DJ Guin: "Hello. Hello, Mrs. Welch? This is George Bailey. I'm Zuzu's father. Say, what kind of a teacher are you anyway? What do you mean sending her home like that, half naked? Do you realize she'll probably end up with pneumonia on account of you? Is this the sort of thing we pay taxes for - to have teachers...to have teachers like you? Stupid, silly, careless people who send our kids home without any clothes on? You know, maybe my kids aren't the best-dressed kids,and maybe they don't have any decent clothes..."
	8:50am Jeffrey Davison: Deborah: got you, and agree about the Electoral College. clarke: good morning, and thanks!
	8:50am Jeffrey Davison: DJ Guin, good morning, and good one! Love that movie!
	8:52am YETI BOB: @TDK60: That's exactly my issue with the Senate - when it was established we didn't have such a disparity between big states with major urban areas and the sparsely-populated West - none of that existed at all. The California:Wyoming ratio is the most extreme case, it works out to 67:1. But it's true for people in any of the big cities. As a citizen of Illinois I feel like I'm being held hostage by people from Kentucky (3:1 ratio), and they are to blame for *itch McConnell. @Deborah: I'm a pretty dedicated Socialiast (I'm voting for Joe) and I believe that all the strife between men and women, and between white, black, etc, gets in the way of the needed Socialist overthrow of the repressive hypercapitalist power structure. Brothers, Sisters, Black, White, UNITE! @Heidee: Guten Morgen!
	8:52am Nulsh: Ah Jeffrey! What a great show today! An absolute joy. Been great to catch you in real time again! Thanks. Cheers Ruth Booth! Bye amigos, have a great weekend!
	8:53am DJ Guin: @Jeffrey -- good morning to you, as well. I am a recovering educator. Times might change, but parents and students never will.
	8:53am 12539: Thank you, Jeffrey (and Ruth). Viva Shrunken Planet!
	8:54am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Nulsh, and thanks! YETI BOB: Agreed. Fit for some discussion (these topics) but ultimately distracting from the larger goals.
	8:54am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks again for a great show, Jeffrey.
	8:55am DJ Guin: Vote early, Vote often. ByeDon 2020!
	8:55am Deborah: @Heidee Lol! no one guesses it, even if they see me. I attribute that to Qigong and in a sense, teaching college students, some now friends. It is a trip but as Paul Simon said long ago, "How terribly strange to be seventy" ; next week.
	8:55am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks 12539 and Andrew in Toronto...
	8:56am Heidee: Hi Yeti Bob! - I'm off again, to the phone, but this time to a colleague in order to get some moral support. - You guys have already lifted me, thank you for that. Have a nice weekend and stay happy! x
	8:56am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks as ever, Ruth in da Booth!
	8:56am TDK60: Gracias Jeffrey.
	8:56am Really Lisa: Thank you, Jeffrey. Peace, all. Hi and friedliche wochenendwünsche, Heidee.
	8:56am Zetti: Thank you!
	8:56am YETI BOB: To be clear - 100% supporter of BLM, and marched here in Chicago. Systemic racism is serious & real and must be fought. But let's try to keep UNITY in mind, not create extra divisions among people.
	8:56am Jeffrey Davison: Heidee: xo
	8:56am Deborah: Wait the music is outstanding! So beautiful. Good bye Comrades!
	8:56am DJ Guin: @Heidee -- THC will help with your anxiety. Vote Yes in NJ to legalize.
	8:57am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Really Lisa and Zetti...
	8:57am YETI BOB: Is weed legal in Germany?
	8:57am Ruth Booth: Always a pleasure to be here, Jeffrey. Have a great day all!
	8:57am DJ Guin: Legal, Schmegal. Who cares? lol
	8:58am The Butterman: Blue is the complement ( opposite) of orange, as is orange baby.
	8:58am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Deborah... Butterman, good pernt.
	8:58am YETI BOB: @DJ: Hahaha, of course, smoke it anyhow. Just wondering what the status was over there in Heidelberg, if there was any movement to legalize it
	8:58am DJ Guin: Insider Trading is illegal, but it doesn't stop the Politicians from doing it.
	8:58am Zetti: Thanks Ruth!
	8:59am Sylvia (France-NYC): Thanks for the show, Jeffrey & Ruth
	8:59am YETI BOB: generally I think Europe is "ahead" of us on progressive social issues but this might be a case where we're a little bit ahead (legal weed, at least in some states)
	9:00am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Sylvia (France-NYC)...
	9:00am YETI BOB: thanks JD, bye all
	9:01am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks YETI BOB, and all...

There are places where FMU used to come in pretty good where it's now more iffy, but on the flip side there are lots more places where it's possible to hear the station.
	7:43am Yes: hi friends
	7:45am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Yes!
	7:46am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to Morris from Brooklyn for pledging, and thanks for the kind words. We're doing well, and this show is doing pretty well also, but a good chunk of $ still needed...
	7:51am Strandlund: Good Morning Jeffrey! Another beautiful start to a cold and wet morning...
	7:54am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Strandlund, and thanks!
	8:02am SmokinJ: Well stated jd! Good morning buddy! 8-)
	8:02am Cubicle Carl: I think these artists would all happily concur that you are definitely playing their singles.
	8:03am Strandlund: Well said Mr. Davison!!
	8:05am Deborah: Good Morning!
	8:05am Jeffrey Davison: SmokinJ, thanks. It's a sardonic joke (and what makes it sad is that my tongue is only partly in cheek) but it's hard not to make cracks like this, after all the crap that's come our way for the last 3-plus years. Thanks Cubicle Carl (and good morning) and Strandlund!
	8:05am TDK60: Dear DJ, do I detect a note of cynicism there? Hee. Of course the real fraud in "voter fraud" is the mendacity in spreading such a lie. Voter fraud is so rare as to be not worth even discussing. Voter suppression however is a real and widespread problem across these so-called democratic United States.
	8:05am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Deborah!
	8:12am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to pledgers Robert, and Michael, both from Jersey City! Thanks for supporting what we do. Robert: I've been on FMU since 1991. I can't recall when this show transitioned out of being strictly a folkie show, but it was a while ago.
	8:16am Jeffrey Davison: TDK60: For sure, this crap about supposed voter fraud pales in comparison to actual voter suppression, a very real and ongoing thing. Lots of examples. The harping on this by Orange Baby is so much more destructive than a handful of actual fraud cases and those of human error.
	8:16am Roadside Picnic: I think apathy used to be the ace in the pack particularly for large established parties. younger less affluent been less inclined to vote-for various reasons- maybe in future allowing a secure app for digital voting would improve participation and the validity of the outcome
	8:20am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Roadside Picnic! Lots to be done. Not sure about an app, but even something like allowing early votes to be tabulated before election day, to facilitate a quicker result, would be good. Seems like the standards for a federal election should be the same throughout the USA, but not sure what issues arise in trying to bring that about. Automatic registration at DMV seems like a good idea also, and registration closer to Election Day throughout the country. Also, Election Day should be a federal holiday. And electoral college, anyone?
	8:25am melinda: Morning friends!
	8:27am Heidee: Hi Shrunkies, pity I missed most of the show, will catch up in the archives. Great story-telling guitar there!
	8:28am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning melinda and Heidee!
	8:29am Roadside Picnic: @Jeffrey Davidson, yes I agree that some type of automatic voter registration-with an opt out-rather than hurdles to register. I live in Scotland where voting is tied in to having a permanent address (thats a UK wide thing and always been so)-maybe excludes or deters a lot of folks. And yes an app that could be trusted still some ways off but not impossible .
	8:33am Heidee: And so the sad fiddle comes on, expressing my feelings in that phone call having to deal with a very awkward narcissistic person the other day (Deborah: a parent of a student). The experience is still haunting me. I need to stop soaking up other people's fucked up emotions.
	8:34am Deborah: I will be dropping my ballot off Monday, trusting the designated ballot box at the area municipal building. Did anyone see the Oct. 18 New York Times Special Section by the Editorial Board condemning that bloviating buffoon on economic, moral, fiscal, and philosophical counts? Not wanting to sound NPR-like, but it is an important read and if you were not ready to vote Blue, you most likely would be after reading. Yes, agree that election day should be a Federal holiday. I am always surprised when it is not. When I worked on newspapers, it was tough to just leave and vote. I have let classes out early and urged students who could vote to do so. And that electoral college has to go! This is not a country of old white men anymore!
	8:34am YETI BOB: Let's eliminate the Electoral College, and while we're at it, let's rethink this Senate thing...
	8:35am TDK60: If this country (U$A) wanted to, we could make sure everyone gets to vote, and on a national holiday. We have an outdated constitution, and the "electoral college" should go. Democracy is very pseudo here.
	8:36am Jeffrey Davison: Heidee: sorry to hear. I can't really imagine where part of my job would consist of having to deal with the needs of so many people, without taking too much of it in...
	8:36am YETI BOB: @Deborah: It doesn't even have to be about "white men" (I am one). It could just be about "fair representation" and "one vote per person".
	8:37am Earth Walker: Tuned in Melllowed out Peace Calm Happy
	8:39am Jeffrey Davison: Deborah, I agree with almost all you say, and by the old white men you mean the founding fathers, I guess that's mostly true too, but I agree with YETI BOB on this...fair representation and one vote per person.
	8:39am Deborah: @Heidee; Oh, I am so sorry! You get the parents and I get raging students. It is midterm time and emails and phone calls range from sad to accusatory. They are upsetting but not as much as they used to be. As teachers, we might be naturally empathic and process other people's emotions while those others suck our energy (qi suckers). I can feel it sometimes. I hope the parent phone rant resolved somewhat positively ad if it continues, try to detach from the words of the parent. And it is temporary. The wretched family will move on.
	8:40am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Earth Walker...glad you're enjoying...
	8:40am TDK60: Good morning Yeti Bob of Chicago. I saw a sentence that made me think the other day. Wyoming with 570,000 people has 2 senators as does California with 39 million.
	8:41am Jeffrey Davison: YETI BOB: it sure seems like the Senate has an awful lot of power, and more skewed, I think, than when this system was set up so long ago.
	8:42am Earth Walker: Good Morning Jeffery Thanks
	8:42am Deborah: @Yeti Bob, Of course! I am a white woman who will be 70 very soon. Still, I haven't lost my rage! Anyway, looking from the historical standpoint and composition of the electoral college (should be capitalized but I can't), it is composed that way. Agree about fair representation. It should be the vote. Period. No electoral college of any kind.
	8:42am Heidee: @Deborah + Jeffery, thank you for your soothing words. It does help. So does - if you can see that, @Yes - your wishing me luck before that call. You guys are amazing. I love you.
	8:46am Deborah: @Heidee So, this is the last weekend of my compressed Business Communications online class; seven weeks to do 15 weeks of work. I have to grade hundreds of responses of a class of 23. Students are resubmitting, emailing, demanding, and begging. I am so over it, as they might say! Then, post grades, and the onslaught will begin. After this, only two courses remain. And so it goes.
	8:49am clarke: thanks, JD!! the MUSIC again proves a salve to the current situation, which i actively choose to ignore. great show, and thanks!
	8:49am Heidee: @Deborah, I would have never been able to guess your age but since you stated it, I can sense your wisdom of life. I respect that so much. - Onslaught, tally-ho! Get them! - Isn't this a fantastic soundtrack to be chatting. I love the clarity. It clears the soul and the heart.
	8:50am DJ Guin: "Hello. Hello, Mrs. Welch? This is George Bailey. I'm Zuzu's father. Say, what kind of a teacher are you anyway? What do you mean sending her home like that, half naked? Do you realize she'll probably end up with pneumonia on account of you? Is this the sort of thing we pay taxes for - to have teachers...to have teachers like you? Stupid, silly, careless people who send our kids home without any clothes on? You know, maybe my kids aren't the best-dressed kids,and maybe they don't have any decent clothes..."
	8:50am Jeffrey Davison: Deborah: got you, and agree about the Electoral College. clarke: good morning, and thanks!
	8:50am Jeffrey Davison: DJ Guin, good morning, and good one! Love that movie!
	8:52am YETI BOB: @TDK60: That's exactly my issue with the Senate - when it was established we didn't have such a disparity between big states with major urban areas and the sparsely-populated West - none of that existed at all. The California:Wyoming ratio is the most extreme case, it works out to 67:1. But it's true for people in any of the big cities. As a citizen of Illinois I feel like I'm being held hostage by people from Kentucky (3:1 ratio), and they are to blame for *itch McConnell. @Deborah: I'm a pretty dedicated Socialiast (I'm voting for Joe) and I believe that all the strife between men and women, and between white, black, etc, gets in the way of the needed Socialist overthrow of the repressive hypercapitalist power structure. Brothers, Sisters, Black, White, UNITE! @Heidee: Guten Morgen!
	8:52am Nulsh: Ah Jeffrey! What a great show today! An absolute joy. Been great to catch you in real time again! Thanks. Cheers Ruth Booth! Bye amigos, have a great weekend!
	8:53am DJ Guin: @Jeffrey -- good morning to you, as well. I am a recovering educator. Times might change, but parents and students never will.
	8:53am 12539: Thank you, Jeffrey (and Ruth). Viva Shrunken Planet!
	8:54am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Nulsh, and thanks! YETI BOB: Agreed. Fit for some discussion (these topics) but ultimately distracting from the larger goals.
	8:54am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks again for a great show, Jeffrey.
	8:55am DJ Guin: Vote early, Vote often. ByeDon 2020!
	8:55am Deborah: @Heidee Lol! no one guesses it, even if they see me. I attribute that to Qigong and in a sense, teaching college students, some now friends. It is a trip but as Paul Simon said long ago, "How terribly strange to be seventy" ; next week.
	8:55am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks 12539 and Andrew in Toronto...
	8:56am Heidee: Hi Yeti Bob! - I'm off again, to the phone, but this time to a colleague in order to get some moral support. - You guys have already lifted me, thank you for that. Have a nice weekend and stay happy! x
	8:56am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks as ever, Ruth in da Booth!
	8:56am TDK60: Gracias Jeffrey.
	8:56am Really Lisa: Thank you, Jeffrey. Peace, all. Hi and friedliche wochenendwünsche, Heidee.
	8:56am Zetti: Thank you!
	8:56am YETI BOB: To be clear - 100% supporter of BLM, and marched here in Chicago. Systemic racism is serious & real and must be fought. But let's try to keep UNITY in mind, not create extra divisions among people.
	8:56am Jeffrey Davison: Heidee: xo
	8:56am Deborah: Wait the music is outstanding! So beautiful. Good bye Comrades!
	8:56am DJ Guin: @Heidee -- THC will help with your anxiety. Vote Yes in NJ to legalize.
	8:57am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Really Lisa and Zetti...
	8:57am YETI BOB: Is weed legal in Germany?
	8:57am Ruth Booth: Always a pleasure to be here, Jeffrey. Have a great day all!
	8:57am DJ Guin: Legal, Schmegal. Who cares? lol
	8:58am The Butterman: Blue is the complement ( opposite) of orange, as is orange baby.
	8:58am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Deborah... Butterman, good pernt.
	8:58am YETI BOB: @DJ: Hahaha, of course, smoke it anyhow. Just wondering what the status was over there in Heidelberg, if there was any movement to legalize it
	8:58am DJ Guin: Insider Trading is illegal, but it doesn't stop the Politicians from doing it.
	8:58am Zetti: Thanks Ruth!
	8:59am Sylvia (France-NYC): Thanks for the show, Jeffrey & Ruth
	8:59am YETI BOB: generally I think Europe is "ahead" of us on progressive social issues but this might be a case where we're a little bit ahead (legal weed, at least in some states)
	9:00am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Sylvia (France-NYC)...
	9:00am YETI BOB: thanks JD, bye all
	9:01am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks YETI BOB, and all...
