Hey folks and welcome to Tuesday and a new week. Did you have good or great seats for the eclipse yesterday? Here in Fresno we didn’t get the full effect of the eclipse, but it was enough to tease us and prepare for 2024.

We don’t have a lot to say today except we hope you enjoy the stories we picked for you. We think they’re all good reads and rather important for you to view. In our humble opinion.

We also posted a picture of our possibly new logo. We’ve been testing it out on the podcast so we wanted to get your opinion today and the rest of the week. So be prepared to see it in the next few newsletters. This way you have a few days to view it and respond by clicking on the thumbs up or down and commenting.

Have a great Tuesday and see you all tomorrow!

Ciao,

Mark & Patti
