As the holiday season sweeps through the Valley, host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael invites listeners to step into the warmth of community traditions in a special episode. This festive conversation, woven from interviews with local leaders, business owners, and community members, offers a delightful tapestry of Christmas customs, heartfelt memories, and a few friendly debates. The Great Tree Debate: Real or Artificial? The episode opens with a question that sparks instant nostalgia: Are you a real Christmas tree person or do you prefer artificial? Krista Shifflett of the Warren Coalition confesses her lifelong love for real trees, though practicality has recently nudged her toward artificial options. Similarly, Celeste Brooks shares that allergies in her family have made artificial trees a necessity, while others, like Les Sinclair of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, opt for convenience over tradition. The conversation reveals that, for many, the choice between real and artificial is shaped by family needs, safety, and even the presence of pets. Decking the Halls: Timing and Traditions Transitioning from tree types to timing, Janet asks her guests when they put up and take down their decorations. Some, like Robyn Miller of WATTS, stick to the classic post-Thanksgiving setup, while others, such as Victoria Armstrong Kidd of the Hideaway Cafe, admit to keeping their trees up well into February. The reasons vary—busy schedules, a love for the festive glow, or simply not wanting to let go of the season's magic. Gift-Giving Rituals: Wrapping, Bagging, and the Art of Shopping No holiday conversation is complete without discussing gifts. The guests reveal a spectrum of shopping habits, from early planners who finish by Thanksgiving to last-minute dashers picking up presents on Christmas Eve. The art of wrapping also comes under the spotlight, with some guests proudly identifying as "wrappers" who cherish the ritual, while others embrace the practicality of gift bags—especially when time is short or the recipient is a pet with a penchant for unwrapping. Christmas Eve vs. Christmas Morning: When to Open Gifts? Another beloved tradition—when to open gifts—elicits a variety of responses. Some families uphold the anticipation of Christmas morning, while others allow a sneak peek on Christmas Eve, often in the form of a single present or a special family ritual. These small differences highlight the unique ways each household creates its own holiday magic. A Patchwork of Community Spirit Throughout the episode, Janet's guests share more than just their traditions; they offer a glimpse into the values that bind the Valley community. Whether it's the joy of decorating multiple trees, the chaos of wrapping gifts at the last minute, or the comfort of gathering with loved ones, these stories remind us that the heart of the holidays lies in togetherness and shared memories. Conclusion: Celebrating What Matters Most As the conversation draws to a close, Janet encourages listeners to reflect on their own traditions and perhaps borrow a few new ideas from her guests. In a season often marked by hustle and bustle, this episode serves as a gentle reminder to savor the moments, embrace the quirks, and celebrate the connections that make the holidays truly special in the Valley.

With over a decade of experience in the industry, our guest today was already a believer in the business of trucking. But, when he discovered Driveaway with Norton Transport, Jakee Dixon's faith turned fanatic. In fact, he'd tell you to stop whatever you're currently doing and join “the best thing since sliced bread” - the world of Driveaway trucking. On today's episode, Jakee shares his journey to Driveaway and what makes this business so lucrative, freeing, and fun for the whole family. Hey, he just got back from Jamaica and is laying down plans for Paris! On top of all of this, Jakee credits Trucking for helping him overcome his fears and insecurities along the path to manhood. Maybe this Driveaway thing is the best thing since sliced bread! We're pleased to have Jakee as one of our drivers and excited to have him as our guest today on the #SixFigureTrucker.Show Notes:Catching up with Jakee Dixon in a Deck set in route to the Windy City (1:13)“Fat weeks” and Finger-licking Dividends (5:39)The hot and cold of Decking (12:06)An 11-year vet, Jakee shares the challenges and blessings of Trucking (15:21)At the apex of his career, Jakee talks about Life, Family, and Driveaway (28:43)Jakee's preferred Podcasts, Hotels, and approach to Finances on the road (39:57)Planning, Patience, and other traits for success in Trucking (46:20)Driveaway is “the Best thing since Sliced Bread!” (47:04)Keep Truckin' Jakee!The Six-Figure Trucker is a weekly conversation that shares the strategies and stories that successful drivers have used to build lucrative careers in the driveaway trucking industry.

Joined once again by Eoin Costelloe and Ciara Costelloe, but not Brian. We chat about their latest escape room type puzzle game coming to Kickstarter extremely soon, as well as some general chat about pivoting your skills when the world is in lockdown, and why manufacturing has a long way to go to step out of China's shadow. It's great to catch up with them again and I hope you enjoy the episode.

Lots to consider from frame to finish in terms of materials and connection to main structure. The boys agreed that--for bulk water management--attaching the deck ledger to the main structure should be done either for lateral stability only or with the ledger spaced out from the main structure.Pete's Resource(s):1.
