Guest-starring me!

I’m a guest on the latest episode of It’s a Podcast, Charlie Brown, which you can listen to here, or download from your favorite podcastorium. (You should listen to the whole thing to introduce yourself to William’s podcast, of course, but if for some reason you want to skip right to the AAUGH Blogger content, it starts at about forty-one-and-a-half minutes in.)

It’s been a rough week here at AAUGH Central. If your TV showed you those blazing California fires this week, well, those 20,000+ acres of fire came within 3/4 of a mile of the house. We evacuated for a couple nights, but are back home, with the closest flames extinguished and the spreading portion all on the far end away from us. Between that and the coming social upheaval (this county has a heavily immigrant population and the is substantially an agricultural economy that depends on those immigrants), these are tough days around here. Other folks are going through tough times; take care of yourself, and take care of them to whatever degree you can.
