We want to than everyone who visits us here and everywhere we show up. It dawned on me that I didn't know, until just now how to link Substack Notes. So we are giving it a try here.
Come on over and visit. Let me know how and if the link works. If you'd like more like this, leave a comment. Peace.

Here's the complete note. Audio will be available later (EST) in the day.
Happy Hump day healthy heroes. Welcome to another Hump day from Paradise.
Paradise was a little shaky this morning. The human inside this vessel has a morning routine, which includes posting episodes and writing this piece. But before that I like to check the forecast from the Church of Barking Dogs to see whether the world will be plunged into darkness today. Instead, it was plunged into silence. Several of my geopolitical sources were silent. They posted as usual, but the audio wouldn’t play. Meanwhile, my favorite browser celebrated its 150th upgrade. What a coincidence. So I checked other browsers. Same issue. Click, “play” — no play.
Your boy was shaken, but not stirred.
It reminded me of a Rodney Dangerfield bit, “I woke up this morning, put on my shirt, a button fell off. Went to get into my car, the handle fell off. I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.”
There were a few other tech issues on the upload tour. A minor glitch on a minor site. I had to check whether Mercury was in retrograde. Nope. Not until the end of June.
Descent into Hell Week continues. I am reluctant to say/write stuff like this because this vessel has been speaking, (spell-casting), sounds into reality. More on that later. Much later. But the smart-ass inside couldn’t resist. Today’s audio is part 2 of what we started Monday. We wondered, why is the End of the World always scheduled for the cusp of Libra-Scorpio? Of course it goes back to superstition, religious ritual & agriculture. (Agriculture was really a Big Deal on this planet. Talk about game changers.)
Next month, as Heart promised Mind, we are releasing, for the first time ever on Substack, our de facto novel. That’s what I call it anyway, and maybe I will share how it came to be for the curious. Anyway, this comic strip series was created in 2013. The plot is based on one of my all-time favorite movie plots.
At some point, it looks like the audio will kick in for our Substack channel. The advice that we don’t give, listen to the voice-over. We write for the vox. Change words, “customize” pronunciation and edit for the vox. If you’d prefer to listen to my hideous spelling, typos, bad grammar and the Substack' reader’s inability to distinguish “read” from “read,” go for it. Indeed, since we don’t give advice, let’s call it a “recommendation.” This way you can maintain your audio-autonomy, and have a giggle at the same time.
Finally, do to popular demand, we have begun posting Long Play Rantcast episodes. “Writing Fiction” has been released earlier today. There will be no links. If you subscribe to any of our TV channels you will get it. It’s nearly a half hour long, with promo spots and affirmations.
That’s the vibe for the terrified.
Stay safe, stay strong, stay savvy, stay sane, stay serene, stay sovereign, stay subscribed.
PEACE
