Rachael Shelton filled in at the controls and for co-host for Bill today. She and Rosemary were joined by Alex talking movies, Charlie talking plants, Dr. Pete talking pets, and even managed to work in topics like traffic on Soquel, downtown development, the new manager of the county fair and more. The more included talk of a certain wedding in Venice, with lots of discussion of the fashions seen there, so perhaps it was a very good day to have Rachael take my place.

She is proud of the work the assembly and senate did to finish the budget and send it to the govornor recently.
