Greetings!

Today is our last day in Yuma, Arizona - we would say 'sunny' however, we're happy to have experienced a little bit of the monsoon while here! We hope you can join us for our special Yuma Radio Show - you can listen live today at 4pm PT / 7pm ET or catch the archived episode any time after the show airs. Tomorrow, we're off to San Diego County for a whole new series of adventures!

In this edition, we give a 'Hi-Five' to Summer Cocktail Parties, Green Interiors, The World of Figure Competition Suits, Boot Hill Graveyard's Folk Hero, plus, the 2nd Annual Silver City Clay Festival that's kicking off this weekend in Silver City, New Mexico.
