Transmitting from the Mojave Wilderness in Joshua Tree, California.

Now is the time for Desert Oracle Radio, the voice of the desert.

I like to get two drinks because then you don't have to bother the server or the bartender for a while.

You got two drinks.

You got a whiskey.

You got a beer.

So there they go.

Yeah.

When was the last time you went to a bar?

Do you remember the last bar you went to?

I do.

Before the shutdown, my last timeout was at my neighborhood Mexican restaurant here in Yucca Valley,

and I went over there and had my usual carni asada plate and a couple of patron margaritas,

not knowing that was going to be it.

But you always figure, I'll get one more in.

Yeah.

And that was the invisible friend surprise there that you actually were not going to get one more in.

Not for, not yet at least.

Not for a while, yeah.

Not for a little while.

You know how we like to have Jason P. Woodbury come on the show and talk about interesting desert musicians and their stories, and that was our plan for tonight.

But I texted Jason this afternoon. I said, man, all I can think about is I want to go to a bar like eating at the bar
