Well, that's it for this period. ... I'm sure you noticed this report covered a longer period ... 9 days. ... I've finally learned how to podcast without my producer sitting right next to me ... I'm a 'dinosaur' if you must know. ... Anyway, I want to get to where we have the commentary coming out on Tuesdays, and the news headlines on late Friday or early saturday ... just please be patient with me. ... We'll get it all figured out soon!

Still a lot of news volume, especially for the summer months. ... Normally it really slows down during the 'dog days' of summer, but not so much this year. ... The one thing that has tapered a bit is the economic news ... but trust me when I say ... it will be back with a vengeance just as soon as our 'illustrious rulers' return from their respective holidays ... but soon they will swarm back to their lofty abodes and once again screw up pretty much everything they touch .... Should get really interesting here in a few weeks ...

In the meantime, I want to thank you all for your continued support of our site. ... We had more 'hits' this past week than we've had in quite some time ... unusual considering the time of year ... and as for getting the podcasting on your I-pads & I-phones, it looks to be just around the corner.

Pray for us as we are constantly praying for each of you. ... May God richly bless you and keep you safe in these perilous times ...

Until next time.
