0:00.0	Good day, Thomas Jefferson, our podcast listeners. And as I always say at the top of this,
0:05.7	thank you so much for sharing your time with us and taking time to listen to the program.
0:12.0	We appreciate it. We also appreciate those of you who have taken time to write letters to either
0:19.5	Clay or the show or President Jefferson. And in fact, this week's show is Mr. Jefferson
0:26.1	answering questions. And mostly we need to thank those of you who have decided to support the show.
0:33.2	We need it. Clay and I don't take anything for doing this. We do it because it's a habit we can't
0:39.5	break. And but those of you who have decided to support the show, thank you so very much.
0:45.1	You can do so by going to JeffersonHour.com, click on donate. And as we highlight it in this

1:35.7	Well, I don't think I said it exactly that way, but something like that. Anyway, a couple of
1:40.5	letters, one just quickly. There's I read every piece of mail we get. Do you? I read most of it.
1:47.7	There have been many requests for autographed copies of your new book, The Language of Cottonwoods.
1:55.6	I've been out. I've been gone. I've been off the grid. I was at these cabins that I have in
2:01.0	at Cook City, Montana, just at the portal of Yellowstone National Park. And I went into the Yellowstone
2:08.0	Park, including with with the famous Russ Eagle. It's snowed. I we got to see the Yellowstone
