Hello Dreamers and welcome to episode 243.

Before we get started, I have a couple of notes about the show.

This is an independent ad-free podcast, which means I depend on you, the listeners to help

keep it chugging along, and there are a number of ways that you can help.

You can leave a nice rating and a review on Apple Podcasts.

I got a nice one posted on social media from Canada a couple weeks ago, but I don't look

too often because sometimes they make me sad.

You can follow the show on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

You can recommend the show to whoever you think might need something sleep-inducing yet mildly

interesting to listen to.

And if you have an extra dollar or two each month, you can subscribe to the show's Patreon

where starting out one dollar a month, you can gain access to dozens of full-length

episodes you won't hear anywhere else.

And no matter how bad things get.

It's always going to start at a dollar.

I made that promise in the beginning, and that's not going to change.

Because things are always going to get better.

And I want you to stick with me through thick and thin.

And if a subscription isn't your thing, you can make a one-time donation to the treat

jar using PayPal with the email, killiforniapod at gmail.com.

This week I'd like to thank Cindy A, Cytle B, Karen F, Vivian T, Crystal, Joy N, and

B, Lydia N.
