Summary

Remember campfires? We sure do. Standing around a campfire telling stories and socializing used to be a big part of the Desert Oracle "workflow," as they say over in corporate. And it will be again. But while we ride the storm out, here's our most recent Campfire Stories night, from January 2020, with a brand-new RedBlueBlackSilver soundtrack and some other weird stuff. And it's an hourlong special episode, too. Life ain't always empty.
