Show 326 - More About PTSD Resources

It is the start of the summer slowdown where I'll post less often as I try to catch up on my sleep and elocution skills. I've been talking a lot lately and I can hear multiple imperfections. 

Really a bad idea to do five things at the same time. 

Anyway, last week's error has created this episode. As a standing warning. Never upgrade as you are working on a project. I've gotten away with it before but not last week.

It destroyed my audio file. Totally my fault. I knew better but didn't do better.




This week is the definition of PTSD and some but not all of the accessible resources you might want to check out if you don't know about the condition.

Show 325 - Minding the Line Fly Fishing Movie and PTSD Resources

After missing last week, I was determined to get an episode up.  I recording and edited it.

The SOS software decided to garble my speech. 

And then it stopped working.

So I turned to my phone and made something happen.

This is a quick look at the new movie called Minding the LIne, which is a fictional movie about fly fishing, PTSD and coping as best you can. 

I'll get the rest of the episode re-jiggered and try again. 

I might have to miss an episode or two, it is getting hectic at Amalgamated Salt and Brimstone and some times you have to yield to the sulfur.
