Watch the video version HERE.
Del describes living through Milton and the aftermath. Dave reads an excerpt from a note from his friend, Pete, who also sheltered in place. A lot of people are now reassessing what is important and what isn't. Many find comfort in the day-to-day routines.
Dave reads an excerpt from the essay Using Ritual to Find Meaning by Kevin Lawrence, who blogs under the pseudonym Ragged Clown. Read the entire essay as Dave didn't do it justice and tell us what you think. If you want to see a whole lot more of his writing, go to his Ragged Clown blog. You won't be disappointed.
Stump the Buck is back as Dave gives Del a toughie that he found on a short video clip somewhere out there. Send in your answer. First fifty correct answers win a TFT [totally fungible token] of Del's stovetop art. We'll give the correct answer in our next episode.
This week's bonus track is Pick Up the Pieces by Average White Band. Why? Because Dave saw the Scottish funk band live in Sarasota last night and they were spectacular. They've been doing this for over fifty years and this is their last tour, with ten cities to go. And they donated all their tee-shirt sales to Hurricance Milton victims.
