You are listening to a Clark's World magazine podcast with your host and narrator, Kate Baker.

Greetings Clark's world citizens.

How are you on this fine July 1st?

As for me, summers in full swing here,

and I'm glad for the warmth and for the small

kitty pool we haven't back when the warmth gets to be too much.
