Well, hello, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone listening in

to this latest edition of the VRW International podcast,

thank you so much for tuning in the late May edition, 2025.

Hope everyone out there tuned in had a pleasant month of May.

I've always found May to be a, an enjoyable month, if you ask me.

Climatologically speaking, of course, the weather in May is oftentimes many people view it as pleasant,

especially up north. You know, things are starting to get nice and warm, but not overwhelmingly hot.

And here in Florida, a nice thing about May is that some of the daily thunderstorms begin emerging,

and that sort of weather pattern begins to take hold, which I personally am very fond of.

As a matter of fact, this early evening, as I'm here at the microphone,

some very nice thunderstorms actually passed through.

And if you would believe it, it was very concentrated, but I got about four inches of rain

in just this one day. But it was much needed rain and much appreciated rain, and it was fun to take a glance outside and see a lot of,

there were little frogs hopping around afterward. All the creatures come out after these storms,

all the little frogs hopping around. There were some lizards about as well, and a very pleasant atmosphere, and it was a lovely 68 degrees after that, too.

Beforehand it was 92, and then that thunderstorm dropped the temperature down to 68.

But May, again, it's a month that I like. I've, again, no objection toward it, and I hope

it's been a nice one for you. Tonight's program is just going to be a random mailbag show. Open up the

email, see what's in it, read and respond to what I received. So you're going to hear of all manner of various

questions and comments and points and things that you, the listening audience, uh, raised

over the last month or two and emailed my way. It's just a freeform mailbag show.

All right, before we get on with things,
