Thank you, having more fun than I should be able to absolutely a thrill to be behind the mic filling in for Frank.

I want to go over a few things today. I recently just got back from a quick trip up to Southwest Ohio to see some family.

I'm going to talk about that and then lots to go over in the news around energy and politics and economics.

All right, I was out last week, hate to miss a podcast, but I did. I went up to Southwest Ohio, drove up there from Northeast Florida, about a 13 hour drive, give or take depending on how long you push it.

And I want to give you some observations and ask for some feedback because I think it's very powerful and it can be very exciting to have several hours or a trip trip.

A lot of times though, a lot of the fun and a trip and trips don't have to just be for fun or joy.

Even if you're going home for not such a good reason to see some family, there's still some positives there. You got to look for that silver lining.

Not to be a guru on self-esteem or anything, but just kind of a common sense, hey, you know, stay grounded, try to stay in the middle there.

And I want to ask you, when you have several hours, when you have a trip that you know you're coming up on, first of all, first couple of questions is if you are driving by yourself for any length of time, pick your time.

Let's just use my example, so 12 or 13 hours.

Do you plan out your trip? Do you already have your stops pre-planned? Do you have books on tape or podcast or your serious XM or anything like that?

What do you listen to keep you occupied or from going insane on a nice road trip?

Question number two is if you're not alone like I was driving there and back.

How many people would you like to have next to you or how many people could you think of that you'd ride across the country or on a long road trip and not be able to go insane by having somebody.
