Alicia is eager to geek out with her about it & off they go..  Both agree that the sex detracts from the somewhat-complicated storyline.  We get caught up on the Temple's latest goings-on.  Byron's lab results came back & the results shows that she might be human (are you surprised?).   Alicia tells us about that time her truck window was shattered late one night while she was driving home on the Interstate.  The talk moves on to gratitude.   Of which we are.  Grateful that is.  Thanks to you we've been here chatting away for a long time now.  Thanks to our listeners, many people who survived Helene go to eat, fuel up their car, be warm.  We notice and appreciate it more than words car convey.  So thanks not only for listening, but for being there when we need you!    Please keep sharing with your friends who can handle it.  :-) Quote:  "That's my life...Phantasmagoria"   ~BB Phantasmagoria:  a bizarre or fantastic combination, collection, or assemblage.

The Wyrd Mountain Gals Show "CatDog Zooming With The Gals" Episode Airs Sunday  12-1-24     7pm This episode finds the gals inching closer to whatever normal used to be.  It feels vaguely familiar and also a little unsettling to be recording their plans for the upcoming holiday.  They talk about the Revelator deck & how customized it feels. We get some specific advice from Byron about the cards and learn that she'll be back  at Asheville Raven and Crone to read on Tuesday afternoons starting this week*.  Their conversation is easy-going for the most part.  You can tell they are glad to remember days gone by.     Cartomancy: the practice of using a deck of cards for fortune-telling or divination. He's like the government, he's listening.   *It's probably a good idea to call and make a reservation if you want Byron to read for you.

Byron shared that she was based in Southern Ohio and was instructing Alicia on how to move some items. They also discussed the challenging Wi-Fi connection due to their locations in valleys. Despite the tough situation, Byron managed to maintain a positive attitude, which Alicia couldn't help but notice.

They also discussed a recent news article about a couple who moved to the countryside to start a business foraging wild ingredients for cocktails. Alicia expressed her concern about the depletion of natural resources due to over-harvesting and urged people to be more responsible in utilizing these resources. Byron agreed with Alicia's perspective and proposed to discuss it further. Discussing AI, Land Use, and Nature Byron and Alicia discussed various topics including their recent travels, their experiences with AI in customer service, and the importance of responsible land use.

She also highlighted the importance of self-sufficiency and producing for use rather than profit. Byron, on the other hand, expressed discomfort with the increasing industrialization and large-scale agriculture, favoring traditional, more sustainable methods. Both agreed on the potential negative impact of technology on children, privacy, and the distraction from important activities. Summer Solstice Celebrations and Family Backgrounds Alicia and Byron discussed their plans for the summer solstice, with both deciding to organize their own celebration.

Both reflected on the impact of technology on their communication and language, and how they have adapted to it. Managing Human Population and Innovative Solutions Byron and Alicia discussed the challenges of managing the growing human population. Alicia proposed mass sterilization and the creation of bio-machines as potential solutions, but both acknowledged the moral and practical difficulties with these ideas. They agreed that finding a solution would require innovative thinking. Alicia also referenced her latest book and a character in it who was similar to a species from the Twilight series, highlighting the topic's sensitivity. Alicia and Byron's Favorite Spots and Experiences Alicia and Byron took a break from their usual discussion topics and shared their fondest locations, including Hickory Grove and Katrina's property by the river. They highlighted the personal and sacred significance of these spots for them. They also discussed their recent experiences, emphasizing the importance of being present and enjoying the company of loved ones. Lastly, Alicia introduced a new feature on YouTube and shared an observation about a video she watched that incorrectly classified Western North Carolina as Tennessee, reflecting the potential for learning through online resources. Alicia and Byron's Tech Talk and Camping Stories Alicia and Byron discussed their experiences with technology, specifically YouTube and Facebook. Alicia expressed her belief that YouTube is becoming more prominent and may eventually surpass other social media platforms.
