Hi everyone this is Richard, Andy set this up so that I can post to my blog with Audio rather than having the type on my crazy little cell phone while I'm on the road. So this is a test to make sure that's working. See if post to the blog. I'm supposed to go to Facebook and Twitter and everything too. So we're kinda we're testing some stuff before I hit the road to see if it works. So if you listen to this let me know what you think and it's been no wonder she's so great. If anybody needs help on the internet stuff, computer stuff and any did other stuff. Get in touch with Andrea Kelly she's got more. Anyway, this is a test. Only a test. If they were real emergency you would've been directed to listen to a different radio station. Bye now.

Hey, this is Andy. Testing out Richard's phone texting feature to call him his detail on his bike trip and you can figure out then we can listen to the program. So see if this works. Bye.
