Transcript
- 0:01Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Tuesday morning, twenty first day of May. I'm Wes, thanks for joining
- 0:12me. Final day of school for Muskogee County, some of the other schools
- 0:19in the area as well, but I'm addressing Muscogee County for a reason because
- 0:24it's also election day, general primary, nonpartisan election day in Georgia, and
- 0:31Muskogee County by complete coincidence, here on this final day of the school year,
- 0:38is asking us yet again to impose a tax on ourselves for the kids.
- 0:45This is the e splost, the Education special Purpose Local Option sales tax,
- 0:53the one that'll put us back up at the highest sales tax rate in
- 0:59the state time. I think where County is the other one a little higher
- 1:03than Fulton County, which is just below where we'll be. We had an
- 1:10esplost in place, and it actually was fulfilled sooner than expected. So we're
- 1:18being asked to re impose it on ourselves sooner than expected. See, that's
- 1:26the way it works. They tell you that it's being reimposed. That's even
- 1:30the way that it is worded on the ballot. It is the reimposing of
- 1:41attacks. I mean, technically that's right, but also technically what it is
- 1:47is it's a new tax. This is a new est blost. This isn't
- 1:52reimposing the old one. This is a new est blost with new things that
- 1:57they plan to do with it. They do a very good job of laying
- 2:01out why this is all about the kids, and this is, you know,
- 2:05we have to do these things for the kids. We have to do
- 2:07this. They did a good job of listing I mean, as many schools
- 2:13as possible in here to get people's attention. You know, let's get a
- 2:15lot of schools laid out in here and say we have to do this for
- 2:20these schools. I have kids in Muscoge County schools. I'm an advocate for
- 2:25Muscogee County schools. I am not an advocate for imposing reimposing, but it's
- 2:34imposing. It's a new one, another tax on ourselves at a time when
- 2:38we are still trying to recover from a lot. We're still trying to recover
- 2:45from COVID four years ago. We're still trying to recover from the way COVID
- 2:51was weaponized in a presidential election four years ago. You can say you can
- 2:57disagree with me on it if you want to. I know most people listening
- 3:00to the show probably agree with me, but you can say it's not what
- 3:05they did. But it was discussed outwardly and openly by the left and some
- 3:10of the strategists that realized as the pandemic was making its way into the US,
- 3:16this is our opportunity, this is our chance. This was on the
- 3:21platform formerly known as Twitter, and they were you, not afraid to admit
- 3:27it, not afraid to say it out loud. They were pretty narn excited
- 3:30about the fact that they had an in and ultimately there were a few ways
- 3:36that they utilized it. Okay, they utilized it in a few different ways,
- 3:40by calling him a failure in his way of handling it, by calling
- 3:44him racist for the way that he handled it, for some of his terminology,
- 3:47a xenophobe. They figured out a way that people would not be going
- 3:53in to polls to actually cast their votes. You're going to mail these things
- 3:57in, You're going to drop them in drop boxes. There were just a
- 4:00lot of ways that our whole system of doing elections were altered four years ago.
- 4:08But more importantly to the topic of the day, which is this splossed
- 4:15this brand new reimposed, and I'm doing quotes. You can't see the quotes
- 4:20the radio podcast format does not, but you can hear me saying or reimposed.
- 4:29It's exactly the way it's word It shall a one percent sales tax and
- 4:32use tax for educational purposes be reimposed, levied, and collected in the Muscoge
- 4:39County School District for a period of time not to exceed twenty consecutive calendar quarters
- 4:45five years, beginning immediately upon the expiration of the one percent sales tax and
- 4:50use tax for educational purposes currently being collected. Yeah, so not. I
- 4:57guess I thought it had already ended, but I guess it's just to end
- 5:00soon. So they want to have this thing ready to go. See,
- 5:02that's one of the strategies with this is they tell us that the other one,
- 5:06the current one, whatever it is, it's gonna end. We have
- 5:11one now and it's gonna end, and then when that ends, we'll go
- 5:14back to the other tax rate and you'll be back where you started. But
- 5:16this is just a period of time that we'll have to just suck it up
- 5:20a little bit, tighten our belts a little bit, pay the extra.
- 5:24It's just a penny. It's only a penny on every dollar that you spend,
- 5:29and now that we're spending more dollars than we've ever spent in our lifetime,
- 5:32because let's face it, inflation has demolished us. That's another side effect
- 5:40of the way that the election was handled and getting a new president who said,
- 5:44no, we're not going to use you know, we're gonna tap into
- 5:46any fuel reserves here. We're going to buy our fuel and from places like
- 5:53Russia, and they're going to use that money to go to war with Ukraine.
- 5:58And then we're gonna send a bunch of money to Ukraine to fight the
- 6:00war that we helped fund the start of. It's nuts. There's so much
- 6:05about all of this that just drives you crazy. But again, staying on
- 6:10point, we're all suffering right now. The cost of feeding your family is
- 6:15up, the cost of trying to go out to dinner is up. I
- 6:19remember noticing at one point that just going to the grocery store and cooking at
- 6:26home had gone up enough that restaurants hadn't quite caught up yet, at least
- 6:31for us. We were just noticing it. And then suddenly and it was
- 6:35cheaper to go out in some cases, even if you were going to a
- 6:39nice place, and then you realize, no, no, I mean that's
- 6:43if you're trying to eat healthy. I mean, you can eat garbage all
- 6:46day for pretty cheap. Anybody can do that, And I understand that's one
- 6:49of the struggles that we all deal with. But right now, while people
- 6:53are being forced to pay more to eat garbage than they were, we're just
- 7:00still all struggling. We're struggling. Since twenty twenty, jobs were lost,
- 7:03careers were destroyed. Family owned businesses that were passed down generation to generation struggled
- 7:11or fell apart and disappeared. And we haven't had a president since twenty twenty
- 7:17or twenty twenty one. When he took office that he said, I'm going
- 7:20to help you out with this stuff. He blames the companies that say we
- 7:24have to raise our prices to keep people employed because fuel costs are up,
- 7:30being able to get goods in from other places is higher than it ever was.
- 7:34And then our president says they're greedy, they're raising the prices. Why
- 7:38would they raise the prices because they're trying to keep their businesses going. We're
- 7:43all suffering. We're all suffering. We're not at a point in time right
- 7:47now in Muskogee County where we can say, yeah, another penny isn't going
- 7:51to have an effect on us. We can't say that we can take one
- 7:58more penny. We're tapped out. Aren't we tapped out? Have we not
- 8:01hit that point where we're just done? We're done? We're tapped out?
- 8:07Okay, And there's a lot of people all across the country that are ready
- 8:11to say, we're not going to do this president again. He has failed
- 8:13us in all the ways that he said he was going to step up.
- 8:16He was going to be the middle class guy, he was going to help
- 8:18us out. And the middle class hasn't flourished under this president. They just
- 8:26haven't. It's not anybody middle class, in doubt has not flourished. And
- 8:31a lot of people are saying, this is not what we were promised.
- 8:35So that's where we are. And that's a decision that we have to make
- 8:37come November. Okay, And that's a separate decision. But right now today,
- 8:43if you're listening to this and you're a voter in Muskogee County, you
- 8:46have an opportunity to at least consider not voting for this I understand they're going
- 8:52to tell you it's for kids. I'm surprised it doesn't specifically lay out it
- 8:58isn't say anywhere I'm looking at the ballot, it doesn't say for the kids.
- 9:05I got to read the whole thing it lays out. It's got some
- 9:07great words in here. It's got a lot of things in it that are
- 9:09gonna make you want to say yes. And I'm not going to tell you
- 9:11how to vote. I try not to do that, but I'm telling you
- 9:15please at least consider it. There's words in here like enhanced campus safety.
- 9:22Right, that's in there. Who doesn't want to enhanced campus safety? New
- 9:26construction, major renovations and upgrades, building modernizations. Hey, that sounds great.
- 9:33There's a number of schools listed in here, schools that I know kids
- 9:39that go to, And you think, wow, I'd like to see these
- 9:43schools get these upgrades. I see upgrades to the museum in the Chattahoochee Valley,
- 9:50libraries, athletic facility upgrades, addressing any remaining school district buildings and grounds
- 9:56needs. That sounds real generic though, doesn't it very specific? They probably
- 10:01have it somewhere where it's more specific. They do that at least recurring capital
- 10:09needs, refreshing student and staff computers, Oh, who doesn't need? Who
- 10:13want that? That sounds great? Replacing playgrounds and furniture, All these things
- 10:20sound great. It's not an issue of should we do things to support the
- 10:26schools. It's an issue of it's time for the splosts to stop. It's
- 10:33a permanent, ongoing tax that we reimpose on ourselves every five years with the
- 10:41promise that in five years this will go away dot dot dot unless you vote
- 10:46to do it again, because they know we have a history of just voting
- 10:52it in again. A couple of years ago, we had a chance to
- 10:54get rid of that t splost the infrastructure roads, and you know what,
- 11:03we got a fifty four percent approval. It was forty something percent no,
- 11:09and you know it was close. But still, even without the influence of
- 11:16this is for the kids, they still got it pushed through. And this
- 11:22was that we were still really suffering, reeling, reeling COVID was We were
- 11:30still being affected two years ago by COVID directly. This is an opportunity to
- 11:37tell them, no, you're gonna have to do this the old fashioned way.
- 11:43You're gonna have to figure out a way to get these things done the
- 11:48old fashioned way. We're all tightening our belts. We're tightening our belts at
- 11:52home and asking us to pay one more penny on everything that we buy.
- 11:56It's just not something that we have right now. If we had said no
- 12:01to that teaseplost, then maybe we could look at this and say, hey,
- 12:05maybe we can redo this one for the kids. I'm not really a
- 12:09splossed guy, I'll be honest. You've probably heard me say that many times
- 12:13before. I think people should be working on budgets, That's what I think.
- 12:16I don't think it should be a constant ask for Hey, just give
- 12:20us a little bit more, tighten that belt a little bit more. I
- 12:24can remember the first one. I can remember the first time we got asked
- 12:28to add a penny. That was many pennies ago. That's a lot of
- 12:33pennies ago. And we'll continue to get asked until we finally stand up and
- 12:37say no, just once. We just need to do it once. Do
- 12:41you believe in miracles? Could today possibly be that day? Probably not?
- 12:48But would you please at least consider the novo. That's all that I'm asking.
- 12:52I want to do one more quick talk on Harrison Butker because it's come
- 12:56up again and it's another one of those. It's another angled on this story.
- 13:01It's the same basic thing. But I saw this Eddie Vetterer from Pearl
- 13:05Jam using some real classing language talking about Harrison Buker, the kicker for the
- 13:15Kansas City Chiefs, who basically just said at a commencement speech he was asked
- 13:20to do at a private Catholic college, a small school. There were men
- 13:26and women graduating, right, and there were a lot of women who clapped
- 13:35and applauded what he said. But he addressed the women and basically, and
- 13:39I'm going to paraphrase, you can go back and listen to their shows you
- 13:41want to hear exactly what he said. But he basically said in general,
- 13:46he was addressing the women, and he said, some of you were going
- 13:48to go on to have these amazing careers, but I would imagine some of
- 13:52you are going to be excited about the opportunity to get married, have kids,
- 13:56be a homemaker, and there's nothing wrong with that. Don't let the
- 14:00world tell you that you can't do that. Okay, and I'm paraphrasing,
- 14:03but this is basically what he said. Cause a lot of people to get
- 14:07mad. I've seen a number of headlines. You know, he told women
- 14:09to get back in the kitchen. That's not something that he said. Now
- 14:15we got Eddie Vetter basically saying that he's telling women that they should take a
- 14:22back seat to men. Here's what he said. He said, Okay,
- 14:28I get that it could be for some people, and there should be pride
- 14:31in homemaking, whether you're a man or a woman. It's maybe one of
- 14:35the hardest jobs and you definitely should take pride in it. But you should
- 14:39should not follow a dream because you think that is the more you're going to
- 14:45benefit by giving up your dreams. I couldn't understand the logic, so I'm
- 14:48questioning it in public right now. Again, a guy rambling, just rambling
- 14:56on and on during a speech that he's trying to give at a concert,
- 15:01and then he basically just addressed the fact that he says, where's the line
- 15:09about him being a kicker? The irony is that this was a football player,
- 15:13a kicker. He doesn't have pads because he doesn't tackle or get tackled.
- 15:20What So now he's trying to make this into a masculinity thing and He
- 15:24says, the irony is that when he was saying that, he looked like
- 15:28such a descriptive expletive that starts with F and ends an ing, and then
- 15:37a word that starts with P. And then he says, there's nothing more
- 15:43mask on than a strong man supporting a strong woman like that. People of
- 15:48quality do not fear equality. He says, take that so anyway, So
- 15:56this is Eddie Vedder just absolutely not even coming close to getting right. What
- 16:02Butker had to say. You know, we're going to talk about things that
- 16:10people say and things that people do that matter. I've never been a strong
- 16:15advocate for the Hey, if you play video games that might make you commit
- 16:21crimes. You know, that was a thing for a while. If you
- 16:22watch the movies, the movies might have an influence on you and cause you
- 16:27to commit crimes. I've never been a big person to say those things,
- 16:32but I know there's a lot of people on the left. They talk about
- 16:34how bad guns are, and then they make movies like the john Wick movies,
- 16:37and it just really I mean, if you've watched the john Wick movies,
- 16:44I don't know that there's ever been a movie that makes just shooting up
- 16:47a bunch of people look so cool. I mean, let's be honest.
- 16:49The guy's dog gets killed a sorry spoiler alert, and then he goes off
- 16:53on this tear and he just starts killing any and everybody for like four movies
- 16:57whatever it is, however many up they're up to in a series. It's
- 17:00just one of the most violent movies that you could ever possibly see. All
- 17:07right, that's what it is. But this is Hollywood. They're gonna make
- 17:10it look cool to use guns and then tell everybody. I can't believe people
- 17:12are using guns. I don't think that's why people use guns. But my
- 17:17point is if you make it look cool and then you complain about why there's
- 17:21so many guns out there, and if we're gonna start saying, hey,
- 17:26Trump said something that maybe suggested that someone should go to the Capitol and do
- 17:30something. He didn't specifically say it, but he said something in that general
- 17:34area, and he needs to be held accountable. Pearl jam ever gonna be
- 17:40held accountable for the song and video? Jeremy, are they ever gonna be
- 17:47is it? I Mean, I'm sure people have brought this up, but
- 17:49I don't hear it brought up a lot. And when Eddie Vedder sticks his
- 17:52head up out of the hole. It's time to play whack a mole.
- 17:56I just want to know when there's a school shooting, anybody think back to
- 18:02that time that Pearl Jam had a video that made something like that that give
- 18:10you that satisfying Hey, this kid was picked on and messed with, and
- 18:15he went back and showed those kids at school. I mean they laid it
- 18:21out right there, laid it out, won awards, complained about winning awards,
- 18:26but they won awards for the video and nothing. And I'm not saying
- 18:33that that video calls school shootings, but there's probably a better chance that that
- 18:38video calls school shootings than I don't know, Trump just saying, hey,
- 18:42I'll see you at the Capitol tomorrow. I don't think at any point when
- 18:48he said that he said inside wearing a you know, loyal order of Water
- 18:55buffalo hat or whatever that guy had on. I don't think he said that.
- 19:00There's probably a better chance, don't you think. And I'm not really
- 19:04I'm just I'm just asking the question. I try to do that on here.
- 19:07I try to ask questions. Doesn't it make more sense that that might
- 19:11have had an effect on kids wanting to shoot up a school more so than
- 19:15Trump just saying hey, I'll see you at the capitol. Good old Eddie
- 19:21Vedder, big man, five to seven. I saw somebody had posted the
- 19:26he's five to seven and Butker is six four, and he's talking trash like
- 19:30he's he can't hit anybody because he's just you know what, Some of those
- 19:34kickers aren't afraid to put their head down and hit somebody, and Butker is
- 19:37one of them. I remember he had to make a play in a late
- 19:44in a game. I think it was against the Ravens, and the guy
- 19:47tried to run the kickback, and Butker was the guy who made the saving
- 19:49tackle in the game. I remember that game. So you know Eddie Vedder,
- 19:59the guy who I mean, maybe they weren't responsible for making the video
- 20:03directly. I'm sure there was somebody else with an artistic message to it,
- 20:07but it was his song. Do they get any say in it at all?
- 20:11Do they have any accountability for it at all? I mean, I
- 20:15think the question at least needs to be asked. Right. Today's show brought
- 20:18to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. Inspiring and educating
- 20:23the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
- 20:32I mean they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit
- 20:36the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university
- 20:40programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
- 20:45space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about
- 20:51maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
- 20:59also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
- 21:04they do with the schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under
- 21:08the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 21:14It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
- 21:18you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this
- 21:21is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at
- 21:29the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
- 21:33Check out upcoming dates for the shows and also check out when the next
- 21:38Astronomy Night's coming up, where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
- 21:42at the Co Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the
- 21:48city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do that
- 21:51as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC
- 21:56dot org. As Sean Crusen says Charlie Charlie Samson sam Charlie dot org,
- 22:02I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot
- 22:08org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all
- 22:12of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
- 22:19that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has
- 22:23parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus
- 22:30can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 22:33you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like
- 22:37to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you
- 22:41want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 22:45Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a
- 22:49noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 22:53issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets
- 22:57in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 23:02add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and
- 23:07you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You
- 23:11know, if you like to work on your own cars in there, or
- 23:15maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open
- 23:18the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 23:21for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing
- 23:25worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
- 23:30door won't open and you need somebody to come help, And they do those
- 23:33as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five hundred, seven oh
- 23:37six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning
- 23:44Show right after the break. All right, So finally an oreo cookie I
- 23:56can get behind. Coming June the tenth, it is a special edition Oreo
- 24:03cookie that will be in stores featuring Star Wars themed cookies dark Side characters Darth
- 24:11Vader, Kylo, Wren, etc. With red cream. Light Side character
- 24:15cookies Luke, Skywalker, Yoda and the like with blue cream. So there
- 24:22you go. Now, if only we could find some of the blue milk
- 24:26Star Wars themed milk from Truemu anywhere in the area. I've yet to find
- 24:30it. I'm assuming it's long gone at this point. That would have been
- 24:33great for dunking. Speaking of dunking, did you participate at all or have
- 24:38you heard about that led you to participate? The uh? Putting pickles in
- 24:45Doctor Pepper at Sonic. Apparently this is a thing, pickles in your Doctor
- 24:52Pepper, several pickle slices. People ask for it, I guess at certain
- 24:56places like Sonic. Now, now you know, I'm an advocate for pickles
- 25:03in spaghetti ballon AI's Specifically, I like it with meat sauce, spaghetti and
- 25:07meatballs. Throw some pickles in there. I'm a fan because I like pickles
- 25:12on my meatball sub That's what led me to do it. I think the
- 25:15idea of doing it in Doctor Pepper is weird. But I'd probably give it
- 25:21a shot. I'd do it in a small dose first, but i'd give
- 25:25it a shot. I don't know that I quite understand what works for it.
- 25:30I get why it works with the spaghetti and meatballs. I get that,
- 25:33I really do, because it works on a meatball sub I don't know
- 25:40about it in the drink, but I'd give it a shot, I guess
- 25:41in a doctor pepper. All right, so let's talk about temperatures. We've
- 25:48heard scientists talk about, Oh, it's the hottest year ever. They like
- 25:53to say that, and then when it gets to the hottest year ever and
- 25:57then it starts cooling down, they don't say a temperatures have gone down.
- 26:03They're very strategic about this. They say it's the second hottest year on record,
- 26:07or whatever, the third hottest year. I remember one year they did
- 26:11it all the way down to like five or six, rather than saying,
- 26:14hey, things are cooling off, because they don't want to say that.
- 26:17They want you at full red alert all the time. Well again, scientists
- 26:22are telling us that last summer was the hottest summer in north the Northern Hemisphere's
- 26:29history in the last two thousand years. I don't know how they could do
- 26:33that. They've really only been logging temperatures semi accurately since like the eighteen seventies,
- 26:40like post Civil war, and that's semi accurately. I mean, that's
- 26:44not even really super accurately. And sometimes you know, they've admitted to times
- 26:51when they just go, we didn't keep the records. We just kind of
- 26:52had to make temperatures up based on what we think it was. So how
- 26:57do they determine that it was the hot? Now this isn't based on temperatures.
- 27:02I guess this is a different measurements. And that's the other thing I
- 27:03like is that they adjust the measurements to help the narrative. I guess I
- 27:07don't know. I'm not a triologist, but they say tree rings will tell
- 27:14you more than the tree's age. They'll also tell you environmental conditions the tree
- 27:18face. So if the rings look a certain way, they go, man,
- 27:22this is the hottest, hottest year ever, it's the hottest year in
- 27:26the last two thousand years. Because when we look at those two thousand year
- 27:30old trees, they don't have rings like this. So that's how they know
- 27:34they determine it. They can look at it and they can determine based on
- 27:40that. All right, so we're now, I guess this is the final
- 27:44day of school for I know a lot of the schools in the area.
- 27:47Some will have a few more days, Some may get into a little bit
- 27:49in the next week, but some I think are already done. Some kids
- 27:53didn't go today. I mean, if they're not taking roll and they're not
- 27:59doing any work, what are we doing there? We're just wasting gas taking
- 28:02them back and forth. That's all we're doing. But anyway, so we're
- 28:06getting into vacation season now. We're almost to the Memorial Day weekend, the
- 28:11unofficial start of summer, so we're there. I mean, we're pretty much
- 28:15into vacation season. A couple things on the subject of vacations. First of
- 28:19all, if you're traveling for the summer and you want to avoid bed bugs,
- 28:26well, apparently pest control website PET I'm sorry, pest Nome, not
- 28:30PET. Pestnome conducted a study to determine the worst cities for bed bugs.
- 28:37Big cities apparently are at the top and happy to report nothing. Really in
- 28:42the southeast, there's one city that you know, you could say, okay,
- 28:47it's in the south and it's kind of southeast dish, but I don't
- 28:52think it's ever been counted as a Southeast city. I don't think I've never
- 28:56considered it one. But it is in the south. It's deep south at
- 28:59that but top of the list New York City, followed by La. Then
- 29:03here's our southern representation again geographically. I don't know that you count this as
- 29:08southeast. But Houston, I don't typically think of that as a Southeastern city.
- 29:15Chicago, San Francisco, Miami is South. Again, I don't know
- 29:19that you counted as southeast, even though it is deep, deep, deep,
- 29:23deep deep Southeast. Followed by Boston, San Diego, Washington, D
- 29:30C. And a Jersey City. I like that it says Jersey City,
- 29:33New Jersey. In case you were wondering what city was in I suppose maybe
- 29:37it's got one of them Kansas city deals where it could be in either state.
- 29:41Finally, when it comes to vacations, there's trips and there's vacations,
- 29:47and a new survey says that there's a way to tell the difference. They
- 29:49said eighty percent of respondents said there was a clear difference between a trip and
- 29:52a vacation. Fifty three percent of those surveyed said that a vacation was travel
- 29:57meant specifically for relaxation, while a trip was travel for an event or to
- 30:03get out of town. And what are the first signs that you're in actual
- 30:07vacation mode? According to those surveyed, it's getting to your hotel and then
- 30:14getting that first smell of this says ocean air. But that's assuming I guess
- 30:19that that's where your destination is. I would say maybe even food. It's
- 30:25not in the survey, but I'm guessing you get food from a place while
- 30:27you're on vacation. If you're eating seafood, if you're eating some sort of
- 30:32regional food, maybe it's fried ravioli because you're in Saint Louis, you know
- 30:37that kind of stuff. That's when you know that you're in vacation mode.
- 30:41When you're enjoying lobster, you know, or you're whatever it is. That'll
- 30:47do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and
- 30:49patrons. Thank you for listening. Please please please at least consider voting no
