Shelter from the StormBob Dylan'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and bloodWhen blackness was a virtue, the road was full of mudI came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”And if I pass this way again, you can rest assuredI'll always do my best for her, on that I give my wordIn a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involvedEverything up to that point had been left unresolvedTry imagining a place where it's always safe and warm“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hailPoisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trailHunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' thereWith silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hairShe walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lostI took too much for granted, I got my signals crossedJust to think that it all began on an uneventful morn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mountBut nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that countsAnd the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' doveAnd old men with broken teeth stranded without loveDo I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothesI bargained for salvation an' she gave me a lethal doseI offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the lineBeauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mineIf I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”

Energy costs provided relief, with gasoline prices dropping 2.2 percent and overall energy declining 1.1 percent. For families struggling with Biden's inflation legacy, cheaper gas is real relief.   Core inflation accelerated to 0.3 percent monthly—the first time in six months it failed to undershoot economist estimates. Services inflation drove much of the increase, with medical care services up 0.6 percent and shelter costs contributing 4.8 percent annually.   Services led the core inflation increase, with several categories showing significant monthly gains: Medical care services: +0.6% monthly Personal care services: +0.5% monthly Recreation services: +0.4% monthly Shelter costs: +0.3% monthly, contributing 4.8% annually Categories exposed to tariffs showed notable price increases: Computers and electronics: Rose 1.4 percent for the third consecutive month Sporting goods: +1.4% monthly Household furnishings: +0.8% monthly Apparel: +0.4% monthly Source: redstate.com   Trump Extends China Tariff Deadline by 90 Days  The Stockholm Negotiations The extension follows three rounds of high-level trade talks since May, with the most recent negotiations taking place in Stockholm, Sweden in late July. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and other Chinese officials for what both sides described as "constructive" discussions. However, the talks ended without a formal agreement. Chinese negotiators suggested a consensus had been reached for an extension, but U.S. officials made clear that nothing would be final without Trump's explicit approval. "Nothing is agreed until we speak with President Trump," Bessent told reporters after the Stockholm meetings. The extension provides time to address several thorny issues beyond basic tariff levels: Fentanyl-Related Tariffs: The U.S.

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we have Special Guest Oklahoma State Representative Jay Steagall about the importance of Radio Comms during an SHTF Grid-Down Situation. Now to be clear we won't be nerding out or go into the weeds with tech talk, inner workings, or specs on this episode, just an easy listening and entertaining discussion on the roles these types of radios serve when communication with the outside world goes offline.That time will come… it always has, and it always will, when the lights go out… when the hum of the air conditioner dies… when your phone becomes a paperweight… in that moment, the silence, will be deafening. Some people will panic at that exact moment. But most others will work it out in their head… give it 30 mins, maybe an hour… they'll have it back up. As if we knew who “They” really were. But when that 24hr mark arrives and there's still no power, no phone, no creature comforts, that's when most of the rest of us start to panic, including me. The difference is, that panic, for me, is my trigger. It's my brain coming to terms with reality and switching my thought process to survival. Cuz I'm already prepped… the readiness box is checked. Now it comes down to what I know and what I've practiced… It's Go Time. It's pure survival, starting now. You've got all the preps… or do you? Let's see. Shelter, Water, Food, Meds, First Aid, All the Toilet Paper you could rip off the shelves the last time someone cried wolf, and Defense… Hell! Offense as well.And don't forget that you have your support team… Family, Friends, Neighbors, Your Network… Do you? Are you sure there's “There” there? I mean… Are they walking distance away, maybe next door? Chances are no, there not. Maybe down the road a bit. Across town… across the county, or state..? Maybe even across country.In a grid-down world, information is survival. The ability to call for help, to gather intel, to connect with your team — that's not a luxury. That's your lifeline. Cell towers, down. The internet, down. Satelites, can't be reached. What's left? Voices and signals, of the prepared, that will be carried throughout the airwaves.Today, we're talking about radios. The heartbeat of survival communication. Shortwave, HAM, Walkies big rigs, small rigs, even the Frankenstein kits pieced together with good old fashioned Redneck Engineering. It doesn't really matter what you're running. What's important… is, how important, this Prep is, in your kit.CloverLeaf Precision LLCContact Cloverleaf PrecisionPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:The Ultimate Baofeng Radio Bible for Beginners Paperback ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 5th Edition Spiral-BoundARRL Repeater Directory 2025 Edition Spiral-BoundRetevis RT97S GMRS Repeater Base StationBaofeng UV-5R 8W Dual Band Radio Basic KitBaofeng GM-15 8W Pro Long Range Radio 2 Pack KitBaofeng UV-5R 8W 2 Pack Set with Wireless ProgrammerBaofeng 5RM 10W Long Range 2 Pack Radio Set with AccessoriesBaofeng USB Programming Cable for PC/Phone/TabletSyntech USB C to USB AdaSupport the show

As the summer months heat up, so does the intake of stray and displaced animals at the York County SPCA, putting serious pressure on space, staff, and resources. Steven Martinez, Executive Director of the York County SPCA, joined The Spark to shed light on how the shelter is navigating one of its busiest seasons of the year. "It's usually about this time of the year, towards the end of summer, that we start to get full," said Martinez. “You hit May, June, July — things start creeping up. And then by the time you get to August, suddenly we have 70, 80 dogs in the kennel at any given time.” This influx of animals, particularly large dogs, is taking a toll on both the animals and the staff. “When our shelter starts to get too full, the animals get real stressed. They can get sick because there’s too many in too close of an environment. That extends their length of stay,” Martinez explained. As the only animal shelter serving all 72 municipalities in York County, the organization is legally required to accept all stray and displaced animals. That volume alone creates consistent strain, but summer presents unique challenges. “For cats, summer is their breeding season,” Martinez said. “By the time you get to the end of summer going into the fall, they’re in the third litter — and now we’re starting to get full.” Inside the shelter, the noise and constant activity can cause stress for animals, especially dogs. That stress often leads to poor health, which then delays adoption. “Stress equals bad health. Our job is to manage their health through enrichment,” Martinez said. “We try to get dogs out two to three times a day for a walk, put them in play groups, and teach them manners so that they’re better candidates for adoption.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Late last month, the Dane County Humane Society published a letter addressed to the city and county expressing a dire need for funding. Why? DCHS contracts with Public Health Madison and Dane County to provide state-mandated services like caring for stray and impounded animals. The county budgeted $390,000 for these services for all of 2025, but DCHS says that money will be gone by the end of this month. So what's with the disconnect? And what will happen to the animals if DCHS can't take them? To get some answers, host Bianca Martin spoke with Amy Good, the organization's director of development and marketing.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful intersections of faith and justice today: the movement to repurpose underutilized church land for deeply affordable housing. Our guest, Rev. Julia Nielsen, is a leading voice and practitioner helping congregations navigate the complex—and sacred—work of turning their property into homes for those in need. Julia walks us through the step-by-step process of developing housing on church land, shares the common roadblocks and myths that hold churches back, and offers practical advice for communities just beginning to explore this path. She also casts a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of this ministry—and why it matters now more than ever. Whether you're a church leader, a housing advocate, or simply someone longing to see faith communities respond to the housing crisis with love and imagination, this conversation will inspire and equip you.

Less was always more with his virtuosity. He was a consummate communicator and showman, and much beloved. Freddie had the muscle and the size. A big man who stood 6'5'', he was all grit and groan. From his early days when he recorded Hideaway, up through his resurrection in the 70s by Leon Russell's Shelter label and the unbelievable propulsion of I'm Goin' Down, Freddy blew the doors off whatever venue he graced, but this energy proved too much to sustain; leading to his untimely death at age 42.My favorite was Albert. Also tall, 6'4,'' he was nicknamed “The Velvet Bulldozer”. Brandishing Lucy, his Gibson Flying V guitar - his ear was impeccable, as was his timing, guiding him through licks that have such sinuous grace, as he bends those out of tune strings into perfect harmony, as if they are taffy - but, also displays deep emotional power - a stinging embodiment of the Cross Cut Saw in action. The sound he produced was beefy, yet lyrical at the same time. His birth name was Nelson, but he copped the surname King, and claimed he was related to BB, in order to catch some of the latter's reflected glory. It was a tough road for Albert, and though he never reached the widespread recognition that his namesake garnered, his influence on the younger generations - including Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn is undeniable. Cream's Born Under A Bad Sign was just a simulacrum - a note for note tribute.In 1968, Albert played three nights at the legendary Fillmore West in San Francisco, and this recording, produced by Stax Records, documents that immortal outing. When you hear his dissertation on Blues Power - punctuated by those gleaming licks, that's all you need to know.

Matt Wolcott didn't grow up in Tennessee—and he didn't know a soul when he got there. But in just a year, he went from the “new guy” handing out business cards at gas stations to being the go-to name for storm shelters and mowing tough terrain. His story's not about luck—it's about hustle, follow-through, and solving real problems when others bail.Takeaways:✅Matt wore his company shirts everywhere—even got in trouble at his old job for it. Branding doesn't stop after hours.✅He calls back every missed call—telemarketer or not. Most don't leave voicemails, and that quick reply often wins the job.✅He turned a simple mower attachment for his mini-excavator into a niche that competitors couldn't touch.✅He sold 15 storm shelters in under 6 weeks—some from his recliner, thanks to $10 Facebook ads and quick customer responses.✅Built partnerships with other contractors to offload jobs outside his scope—keeps the customer happy, and the phone ringing.Why It Matters:If you're a contractor looking to stand out in a crowded market, this episode shows how being reliable, visible, and responsive is sometimes all it takes to win.Links:
