Mark T:

Yep. About 30 plus miles down further to get to Delaware. And 85 miles or so to Cape May. Anyway, Cherry Hill is typically the reference point when I tell people whereabouts I live. The Scottsdale, AZ is home for part of the year, lol. Grateful for the fabulous FMU app. 🛁 ♥ 8:20pm

Wow I'm surprised to hear that you are 85 miles from Cape May even though you're that far south. New Jersey is a bigger state than it seems 🛁 ♥ 8:24pm

We do what we can... in pursuit of the perfect sound! ♥ 8:29pm
Mark T:

↳ alanSixº @8:23

My mistake. Depending on which road you take it could be 77 miles. The exit three throws people off as I’m quite close to Philly, barely 10 miles east of it. The Camden County area is often referred to as “East Philly” as we have a lot of Philly transplants here 🛁 ♥ 8:31pm
alanSixº:

↳ Mark T @8:29

still, a 77 mile ride to cape may is still a ride! ♥ 8:31pm
Listener Bop Monroe: travel safe ♥ 8:32pm

Yep, and much of it is one lane each way   8:32pm

greetings, Amanda! Outfielders!

cat sitting for two sweet Tuxedo brothers -- one of them was totally loving this too, doing Thee Sacred Extended Paw Flex Meditation as i brushed him 🖤🖤

i am loving those pigs at the top of the page -- so adorable!

(and so bummed i missed your Cat Adoption Party! whole day got away from me -- but it sounds that lots of wonderful humans came out, and it was super successful! 😻😻)

You must come to the next one, slugluv! It was a great time, always surprising to see all the different cats and how different they are from the last time's. ♥ 8:36pm
Mark T:

↳ Mark T @8:32

And I always cringe when people say, “I was in New Jersey once, in Newark” . Well, I’m from the part of Jersey that represents the Garden State. Lol With that said? I had an apartment in Union City in the early 2000’s. And I have lived in Syracuse, Rochester, and Kingston for different amounts of time. ♥ 8:38pm

Listener Bop Monroe: mmm... bacon... ♥ 8:42pm
Amanda:

↳ 0n@irLibr@ry @8:38

I loved how they would all stop and then all start up again. Pigs are extremely vocal and expressive ♥ 8:42pm

it just feels like the pigs aren't really having a great time. 🛁 ♥ 8:42pm

slugluv1313:

↳ Amanda @8:42

yes! pigs are incredibly intelligent and beautiful creatures (even when i was a little kid, i hated it when "hippie" types would refer to police as pigs -- i would be like, "hey, don't insult the pigs!") 🛁 ♥ 8:48pm

Monster ok? ♥ 8:52pm
Roberto:

↳ chresti @8:51

Maybe. When referencing present day "leaders," I usually stick to "sack of shit." ♥ 8:53pm
slugluv1313:

↳ chresti @8:51

hi chresti!

not speaking for Roberto -- but i think monster is fine (and humans are the real monsters, imho)

♥ 8:54pm
Mark T:

↳ Roberto @8:52

I prefer “elected officials”. It would be a challenge to find anyone in any party that has the guts, dignity, and integrity to actually be called a leader 🛁 ♥ 8:54pm
Webhamster Henry: Yeah swing squeaks! I recorder some slide drumming a few months ago. ♥ 8:54pm
Roberto:

ah, excellent point!

i LOVE Gila Monsters -- when i was little, i could not understand why we could not have a "pet" Gila Monster

on the other hand -- humans named the Gila Monster! how would Gila Monsters refer to themselves?

♥ 8:58pm
Roberto:

↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:57

Indeed she is, celebrated her 97th on Saturday!   8:58pm
matt from LNK: what a fantastic show, thank you. 🛁 ♥ 8:59pm
Webhamster Henry: Need to record this: “He was taken by the sounds of the hollow iron pole's being tapped and caressed despondently by the hardware on the empty halyard...That's such an American sound, you know? School out and the flag down? Such a sad American sound. You should hear it sometime when the sun's gone down, and a light evening wind comes up, and it's suppertime all around the world.”

― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
