Hello and welcome to the 255th episode of California Dreaming, I want to thank you for waiting

a few extra days for this and basically every episode to arrive into your feeds.

I just got back from California yesterday and I finished writing this.

It was getting kind of lengthy so I divided it up into two parts.

So as soon as I finished writing part two, I'll get that recorded and uploaded for you

as soon as possible.

So I'm feeling lazy today to go through all the social media and Patreon stuff but I do

want to say thank you to Lee B, Lori O, Monica and Diane S for joining Patreon and also

Diane S for doing both Patreon and PayPal because girl, I do see you.

If you would like to join Patreon or make a generous contribution through PayPal, all

of those links are in the show notes.

So let me just get started with today's story, everybody's talking about it and I have

things to say too.

So without further ado, this is the tale of Alec Murdoch and the Tangled Web E-Wove Part

One.

poor life choices that you've made, no matter how many times you wish that you could

go back and do it all differently, no matter how uncertain or fearful the future may seem,

you step back and you take a look at the dumpster fire that Alec Murdoch's life has become

and I'm pretty sure you'll feel a little bit better about yourself.

And dumpster fire, I mean it doesn't even really quite capture everything that this man's

life has become, it's more like a super inferno and Alec Murdoch is like this crazy pyromaniac
