This is Rumbel Strip, I'm Erica Heilman.

Did you know that none of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were from the Jurassic period?

No.

They were all from the Triassic period, I'm pretty sure.

Really?

Yeah, like the T-Rex, the philosophers, none of those are from the Jurassic I'm pretty sure

Did you know the farthest place from any McDonald's is in the middle of Nevada?

Are you saying why would they call it that then?

Sounds better than Cretaceous Park. Did you know Rhode Island grows by 3% during low tide? Am I wrong? Did you know Maine is the closest state to Africa. The shortest out of the tallest buildings in each

state is in Vermont at a whopping 11 stories. That's Leeland in 2018 and Leeland in 2022.

Leland is my neighbor. He lives in an old farmhouse about two miles from me and for the last seven years we've been getting together in the spring to compare notes, to talk about his year, to talk about his thoughts on God and space and pork shortages in the Midwest. and In the pandemic year we parked side by side and I ran a mic taped to a swiffer into the window of his truck.

This year Leland graduated from high school and I figured it was time to hear pieces from all the years with

Leland altogether and all at once.

Here's Leland Kennedy.

Space.

What was it that you were talking about in the first one about deep space?

About how the universes are all snow globes.

I'm pretty sure it was a pretty on the spot thought process of whatever 11 year old me.

Do you look back and feel somewhat impressed?

That how spot on my answer was, yes. I think that in space, I think it's much different than what astronomers think. I think the whole

solar system is in a tiny spike of space which is in an atom and of another world and their whole space is in an atom of another world and that goes on in infinity.
