Dear Friends,

THIS WEEK’S RADIO SHOW AND PODCAST:

(01:35) Reflections from the final week of the Save America March – LISTEN
(16:26) All dictators cling to power, and Trump is no different – LISTEN
(36:41) If the shutdown continues, millions of Americans will go hungry – LISTEN
(53:48) First fall frost is much later, with Kathy Byrnes – LISTEN

There’s a lot of heavy content in this week’s radio show and podcast, so I’ll keep this blog light.

I asked for it last week when I invited readers to submit captions for this photo that I took of a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste littering the side of a gravel road. There’s no way I can share all the responses with you, but here’s my top three, in no particular order:

“Fluoride treatment in 1/2 mile!” – Jan Thomas

“It can be a rocky road to dental hygiene, but the good news here is that we see no missing teeth.” – Winter Ross

“The Save America March is committed to preserving the Tooth, the whole Tooth, and nothing but the Tooth.” – Jon Krieg

There’s no official panel judging the captions. It’s just me. So if you think your stroke of brilliance was underrated, that’s my bad.

Seriously, I’m grateful that so many of you have supported this March with your comments, suggestions, companionship, and donations.

Looking ahead to my blogs from the final three days of the March, I’ll share conversations with two construction workers, a marine who I helped buy a dozen eggs, a golfer who feels it’s ok to blow up boats and blow off the Constitution, and the joy of ending the March with a wonderful group of friends and fellow travelers.
