It was very nice to have a polite, reasonable conversation about politics and the country with a few people who had conflicting opinions.  Phil Murray is former military who voted for Biden and is pro 2A.  Dave Morris is in the oil and gas industry and voted for Trump.  We all discuss the past election, the state of the country, and what we all wish to see in an elected leader.   Great conversation.  

A very tired John, who had probably had a couple too many beers, was editing the Facebook room podcast they recorded earlier in the night.   He didn't realize he hadn't closed the room and Tamara joined in around midnight.  So why not turn the mics back on and do a late night podcast?   Their conversation covers lots of topics including the importance of college in life, suicide, business, and much more.   Check out Tamara's website to learn more about her:  https://tamaralinnan.com/
