0:35.0	Hello everybody, how are you?
0:38.0	How is your August going? It is August. It is August 1st.
0:43.0	I am back from my trip back in San Francisco, back with my lovely fog horns, back in the fog.
0:51.0	I will tell you, I know very little about weather patterns, but I have learned since moving here that the hotter it gets in the central valley of California, the fogier it gets in San Francisco.

2:45.0	So please know this. If this is how you feel right now, there are so many people listening around the world that are in your shoes.
2:56.0	They are also listening every week trying to figure this out for themselves.
