	6:04pm Listener Robert: Entire hour of tunes mentioning weather?
	6:06pm Listener Robert: Even tangentially like the first piece?
	6:06pm Carmichael: Heya Jim, Brendan and radio spuds.
	6:06pm Kat in Chicago: Hey Jim, nice to hear your voice again! I'm Worky McWorkface right now and probably can't get back on the comments board, but I wanted to say hi :)
	6:07pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Should we talk about the weather?
	6:08pm Listener Robert: Oh, of course, Jim the Poet! I keep mixing him up with Nick the Bard. I'm that bad keeping people straight, seizing on the slightest similarity of name or anything else.
	6:09pm Kat in Chicago: Partly cloudy and 63 here. Was raining earlier but has cleared up a bit.

	6:10pm melinda: Hi Jim and all
	6:10pm ultradamno: So Andy's out the first week in a very long time that Don Mclean being awful is in the news. Seems like a missed opportunity.
	6:10pm Thomas: I too am stuck at work. I am in Des Moines and the sky is in a weird state where it isn’t sure whether it wants to be cloudy or sunny.
	6:11pm Carmichael: I'm sure it's really Archibald.
	6:12pm ultradamno: Well, Archie is a paladin on Riverdale, so why not a prince?
	6:13pm Listener Robert: I soooo want to yell into the bedroom, "Steve, Jim the Poet's back on!", but Steve died a few months after Bronwyn and Jim went off schedule. Not saying there's a connection there, but....
