This episode finds the gals cutting up in the temple, reminiscing about everything from Christmas to sweet memories of their fathers.  Byron talks a bit about an upcoming trip.  It seems they are acclimating to the new state of their world since Helene brought the region to it's knees.  The break in the day to record the show is both a relief and a place to kvetch for them.  
 
WARNING!  As usual, it's raw & there are some subjects and some words that could get you in trouble at work or in front of most kids.  
Please note:  If you're looking for something to be offended by, this is the podcast for you!   Please share with your Wyrd friends.  Thanks yall!

A Place of Wild Enchantment....with a Trigger Warning

A Place of Wild Enchantment....with a Trigger Warning  
It's been a hard week and the gals are weary.  So, why are they laughing so much?  How in the world did they manage to sneak in a longer than average episode (1hr 15min!).  We hope you enjoy the sounds of two giddy gals stuck in a hurricane's aftermath in Asheville.
*Note  TRIGGER WARNINGS all over this episode.  Animals, people, death & suffering.  This episode is not for the squeamish or folks with a nervous disposition.  
Thanks for listening!  Thanks for the help with supplies, money, advice, gift cards, podcast shares, and baked goodies.  
Please don't forget us here in WNC.  We're still hurting & probably will be for a long time to come.

Episode Airs Sunday   11-3-24     7pmhttps://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-6nja4-1729b0c
This episode finds the gals taking a break to record & naturally the conversation turns to the upcoming election, and music, and lucid dreams, and and and ...
The gals are tired but grateful for the many good things.  Too many to name them all.  It just feels good to sit in the quiet cool  (also quite cool!) little temple and take  some time to relax and  share some stories.

*Note - This is our life since Helene gut-punched our region.  We're it sharing with you unvarnished.  No opening music yet-it's not time.  (But soon!).  We're getting there.  If y'all keep helping with donations for those in need, kind works, or whatever you can do, it WILL happen.  We'll Survive Helene. And these damned political commercials too.  
Thank you for sharing our podcast.  It really helps us! 
**This episode has been edited so much that it's almost wholesome.

Hypnic jerks — also called sleep starts — are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions you may experience as you are falling asleep. Hypnic is short for hypnagogic, a word that describes the transition between wakefulness to sleep, which is when these jerks occur.
Revelation 3:20 (King James Version)  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
