In South Jackson County on 1067 K294 AS Ashland. Always a pleasure to have Dr. Dennis Powers, retired professor of business law back here. And it is where past meets present every Monday. We talk about some local history and then dig into the legal news of the world. How you doing, Doc?

Welcome back, good to have you on. Well, thank you so much. It's always a pleasure to go ahead and to chat with you as we go ahead and I always learn something. So we're ready to go as are your listeners. Okay, first thing I wanna have, before we get into Butte Falls,

I wanna talk about a legal case. And this should be on like a radio law talk every Sunday afternoon. They do, is it a case or not? And I want you to give me, since you're a professor of business law, I'm going to give you the scenario and you tell me if you think the family of the victim has a case here. There was a woman Saturday night in St. Louis, Missouri, who was twerking, 1130 Saturday night, she was twerking on the roof of a Cadillac Escalade. So you can see the picture.

She's twerking on the Escalade. She slips and slides off the Cadillac Escalade while she was twerking, and she's run over by a city fire department truck that is going off to an emergency. Do you think the family has a case against either the fire department or do they have a case against Cadillac maybe for not having a non-slip roof to twerk upon? I don't know. Do you have an idea? Could you help us out on that as a former professor of business law? Well the first thing my friend I need to ask is what do you mean by twerking? Twerking is when you do the little crouch and you down and you

dance with your with your bottom kind of vibrating up and down. It's kind of a popular dance in some neighborhoods. Okay. Well I can remember I used to dance you know up to about a year ago but then I decided to go for fast walks. Okay, yeah, I got it. To answer your question, first of all, yes, it will depend on whether she's in California, Oregon, or some other states, and why? Okay, well she's in St. Louis, Missouri, so that's where she was. It's where she was, twerking at 1130 on Saturday night. Probably intoxicated, I would imagine, because I don't think sober people get up on the roof of a Cadillac Escalade and twerk. That's just me. That's exactly right. It would depend that you can always find an ambulance chaser who

will bring a lawsuit, and the reason is is that you do have some deep pockets there. This is going to sound really funny and almost way out, but boy, I've seen a lot over 30 years. My friend, the key thing is that contributory negligence used to be an absolute defense. And the problem is that California Supreme court decades ago came up with a concept that said all no no if if the victim even though he or she has uh... could contribute it to that liability it just goes to damages in the jury can determine how much off so you have

so if you get an ambulance changer i would not take take the suit, but I would know who I'd assign it to or refer it to had I been in practice. And Bill, the problem is the fact that you got deep pockets, you're hitting some of the top three that you look for. You know, why sue if you can't collect, to you know, a contributory, how fast was the fire engine going? Did it have its alarms going? Did it go ahead? I mean there's all these things and you know... Was it a racist fire truck would be another thing you'd have to look at, right?

Oh yeah. Yeah, could have been a racist fire truck for all we know. Okay, now see, remember there's a lot of torquing going on the roofs of police vehicles back during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020-2021. That's why I was letting you know, same city, same city. So it happened on this time, torquing on the roof of a Cadillac Escalade. I would look for safety straps to be included on Cadillac Escalades in future models because they'll say, okay, if you're going to twerk on the roof, you have to put this on and then there's the safety

strap. There is their positive defense. That's what General Motors will likely have to do. What do you say? And you're bringing up a very good point because, Bill, when it comes to suing in personal injury, failure to warn is along with negligent manufacturing and negligent design. So Cadillac is going to have to put a sign on the Escalade warning, do not twerk on the roof. Danger could occur, right? I don't know if they might wait and see, but it depends on how conservative their general

council is. And you might be able to put the warning in rather than on the vehicle. You could probably put the warning in a manual and then have your sales people disclose that type of thing. By the way, when you're going to drive away this SUV, we just want to remind you that it is dangerous to twerk and dance on the roof on a Saturday night, drunk as a skunk. Okay. All right.

Now, see, this is yet another sign of the decline of the Republic, but thank you very much for that, doctor. All right. Let us take it back in a time in which if you were drunk and twerking on the top of a covered wagon, well gosh, whatever happened to you was your own problem, okay? And we're going back to, we've been talking about the founding of various towns and enclaves in southern Oregon. Today it's Butte Falls. Butte Falls is the smallest incorporated town in Jackson County, 450 residents. Was it ever was it

small back in those days too and what happened? What do you say? Well you know if we picture this if we go back to first of all you know with the goat strike in Wyricka and miners then who were smart decided to go to Ashland and sell to the prospectors and then you had Jacksonville. This is 1850s. It's really going back. At the same time, we haven't gotten to Grants Pass yet, but you had sailors that... We will. Don't worry, we will. Yes, we will. Because you had sailors that ditched their ship in 1852 in Crescent City to go ahead

and to look for gold because gold was the fever and they found it at a place that actually became a county seat, not a county seat, but a seat of government called Sailor Diggings. But back to Butte Falls, this is the only one when you're coming in and you think about that was actually started by an out-of-state company and out-of-state. What was interesting, Bill, was the fact that this was a timbering place. Medford was really going. Medford was now in the orchard boom. A company out of Michigan purchased timberlands in 1901 near the falls on Big Butte Creek. And Big Butte Falls and Big Butte Falls

was where Judy and I first hit when we came here over three decades ago. And Bill, what was interesting there was that I had a very good friend of mine who was one of the few conservative professors at SOU who was doing a research project for Butte Falls. So we went there. And the key thing is that in the 1900s, Oregon had one half of all the standing timber in the Pacific

Northwest, because they had hit the Midwest, such as Michigan and Wisconsin that became overlogged. So what we had is that sawmill companies were looking elsewhere and they were buying up timberlands in Oregon. And the doings company was one such company. It had a head, Burt Harris, who was its first head. He saw the potential of building a saw mill. Yeah, you're looking at the 15-foot saw and you're thinking, hey, instant power source, right? For the mill. And so it took him four years later, but he recorded the plat map of Butte Falls in 1905

to create a manufacturing town. And that's why you have this 300-foot plaza in its middle. It's a beautiful town to live in where you can commute outside. And in any event, that then, Butte Falls, was tied to the fortunes of the timbering industry, which will bring us, as we fast forward through different time periods, Medco. And Medco was this company that was vertically integrated. And Medco ended up buying essentially the timber industry around here because Owen Organ went bankrupt in the Great Depression, right? Correct. Very good and that's very true. That's what happened. And so in any way, what happened then, what really saved most towns in our area was World War II. But then after World War II, Medco went to what they call were JIPPO loggers or independent logging crews and truckers.

And it was one of the 1,000 largest companies. And I remember this, Harold Simmons, in a hostile takeover during the 1980s, acquired Medco. But then what happened is, with Medco, he was known for gaining control, selling off the assets, kind of like a George Soros approach towards things. And after harvesting the timber, he sold off the lands and mills. Kind of a pump and dump, right? That sort of thing. Yeah, and the lumbering stagnated over time with the Oregon economy, environmental regulations, but Butte Falls, which has its own mayor and city council, and it's also one of the smaller,

smallest towns that's incorporated in the United States, although there's a few there that are somewhat smaller that I checked out. But in any event, there's another story there that I've got to wait until later. But here we have this quaint, tiny town, its mayor, city council, historical place in the valley, beautiful place to live. Nice cafe, you like the restaurant there? Everybody does. Great, great cafe and you're right, Judy and I ate there and you're absolutely right. All right, well, Bute Falls, we'll post that today. And so let us return then to the current news and the current news of the day is all these people that have judicial degrees, you know, like you, and they're judges, and they're helping illegal aliens escape ICE.

Get your opinion on that if you don't mind. Okay? Hang on. Oh, sure. Sounds like a winner, my friend. So, coming up here on Where Past Meets Present, this is the Bill Meyer Show.

This is the Bill Meyer show on 1063 KMAD. 7705633, Mike's here. Hey Mike, you went on the way in on small cities so Butte Falls is pretty small but you say there's another incorporated area smaller which one was that? It's a town of Greenhorn in the Blue Mountains by Vinegar Hill. By Vinegar Hill? Well Vinegar Hill is a mountain.

Okay. Yeah and this town had a population, well it was a big mining town with several thousand people in it during the Gold Rush days. Yeah. But when my granddad was the mayor of Greenhorn, it had a population of three. Three? And incorporated, wow. Okay. Yeah, nationally incorporated. All right. It's also the highest incorporated city in the state at over 6,000 feet. All right.

Hey, thank you very much for the tip on that. All right. So we know here, Doc, that, yep, there are some smaller towns, incorporated towns, but not like Greenhorn, three. Wow. Oh, yeah, absolutely right. We didn't go into those because the fact that if they were mining-oriented, when you, you know, trek through

the mountains, you'll just find a timber to left because when the gold played out, the camps moved along, everyone moved. We're gonna get into that as we get into the Grants Pass area, but it's interesting to see the way towns rise, fall, and Butte Falls is still here. All right, very good. Hey, appreciate the call. Hey, Doc, let's talk a little bit about here, the latest one with judges behaving badly. We had the judge on Friday who was arrested.

Could you tell us a little bit about Judge Hannah, what is going on with the situation? Well, you know, we have two things going on. One is the ex-Namexico judge, Cano, and his wife, who not only overheard and was making judicial decisions on an illegal immigrant. He allowed this Trent DeArago member to actually live at his house and perform work for them. By the way, carry firearms too, right? Oh, not only that, there are pictures that you can see of this illegal immigrant honing these illegal farm fireworks and firearms, sorry, four guns found, and it was in their daughter's house that he kept them. And then on

social media you have pictures of showing him holding these rifles with a This Judge Cano was fired by the New Mexico Supreme Court and he's up for charges, which he should be, because this is beyond the pale to see judges that are doing this. We can go into the whys later. The other one that you're going into, of course, is Dugan, who allowed an illegal immigrant. This is heading to Wisconsin, the great state of Wisconsin, that allowed an illegal immigrant to steal away from the courtroom through a jury room, was through and Iceland had to arrest this person. Then of course what you have is another judge in Wisconsin, and this is really amazing, who's called, who's Monica Isham, who's a Native American judge, identity politics,

when you, you know, research and analyze and see about her, you find out she only talks about Native Americans that are in lockup. And so what we have seen overall is the real success of Obama, Soros, and Biden on getting judges who subvert the concept of law because they weren't really put in for their political legal abilities but for their fundraise. Yeah, well they were also put in frankly to be a reliable vote to break the system down in my opinion. I wanted to play a little bit of a clip here. It was on NPR over the weekend with David Brooks. I don't know if you watched NPR or not. David Brooks I don't.

I'm missing, of course. David Brooks You know David Brooks. He's the one that they claim is the conservative over at the New York Times. So it must be true. Okay. And this is what he had to say about the judges, these judges being arrested here, Doc, and I want to get your opinion on this, okay? I'm sure you'll enjoy this. Now, try not to laugh. This is serious.

This is a serious person. David Brooks. It's very serious. I understand. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Well, obviously they're trying to send a note of intimidation, not only to her, but to all

judges and maybe to all Americans. But I don't yet know the specific details of this case whether she escorted the guy out the jury door Whether she's let him or it's so that's all murky. I don't want to comment on this specific case But especially on the issue of immigration. There are a lot of people who are appalled by what the administration is doing And there will be times for civil disobedience And to me if she let's say she did escort this guy at the door if a if federal enforcement agencies come to your courtroom and you help a guy escape that is two things

one it strikes me as maybe something illegal but also strikes me as something heroic and in times of trouble then people are sometimes called to do civil disobedience and in my view when to do civil disobedience. And in my view, when people do civil disobedience, they have to pay the price. That's part of the heroism of it, frankly. And so you can both think that she shouldn't have legally done this and that morally protecting

somebody against, or maybe not even in this case, but in other cases, frankly, a predatory enforcement agency. Yeah. Predatory enforcement agency going after a guy, you know, accused of, you know, beating the crap out of people. Yeah, we need that. It's brave.

Yeah. Yeah, 30 times that this person who's, they had beaten up a person with his fist and hitting and smacking and punching 30 times this particular person. But you know, that's the problem about it, because underneath Obama, we saw, but he kept it so well hidden, that his selection of different judges was based very differently than it was before then. Because when he was at Harvard Law, there are pictures of him outside the window of

his dormitory room haranguing people to rise up. And how he became the editor of the Harvard Law Review was a racist approach. And I got the background on that. But the important thing though is you're pointing out is the fact that these are not people who are upholding the law. The law is in their way of their value system and their value system is shoddy. I was going to ask you about the other parts of the judiciary which are troubling to me and that's two to three

temporary restraining orders or injunction on average two to three a day are filed against the Trump administration by the federal judiciary and what can be done about this because they're making it next to impossible to govern as the executive you know the executive supposed to be in charge of the executive and as far as I recall here, Dr. Powers, somebody who is in the federal court judiciary of an inferior court is not in the executive branch of government, nor does it necessarily have jurisdiction over that. Am I right or wrong about that? Well, you're right. And what happened was

we can go back to John Roberts and the abortion case. And when the oligarchs then running in the country allowed rabble-rousers to go around the Supreme Court judges' houses at two o'clock in the morning and beat drums and put out firecrackers. And so John Roberts, who's more worried about where he's going to be, he's not a marshal as the Chief Justice, trust me on this one, but the thing is the fact that he became very concerned where he tried to plead with the justices not to go ahead and rule on the abortion issue to allow the states to become involved.

And so what happened is that he remembered and was frightened by the far left rabble rousers, Che Guevara people. And so this has come all the way through. Judges are people. And the problem with judges all the way through. Judges are people and the problem with judges they need to be elected no matter where. Well on the other hand though, when it comes down to it, Roberts was not elected though. He's appointed for life but he's acting in a very frightened manner. Isn't what is really needed in the Supreme Court action right now is to draw some clear lines of where federal judges

are allowed to interfere and where they are not. And at this point, they've not given any guidance that I'm aware of. Are you? That's the reason. That's why I was bringing in the story, my friend, of Roberts with his and his legacy, because we have our Catholic priest who is switching back and forth, you know, who taught at Notre Dame. We're having these things on five to four decisions going for the far left. And what I've seen, to get right to the the bottom line is that Roberts is sitting back praying that the Republicans will be able to get something through Congress to have to do with this jurisdiction issue that district, federal district courts who are in one state and there are hundreds

of them do not have the ability to make decisions and injunctions on all 50 states. Yeah. Now here's the challenge with that though. So Roberts is wimping out here. He doesn't want the court to actually draw the lines, okay? The lines, the goal lines or the border lines here and what to do. So they're hoping Congress will do it. Problem is that Congress could get something through the House, but you couldn't do this through reconciliation so it would require 60 votes. So you'd need a bunch of Democrats to go along. He's got to understand that politics will not do that. That that will not happen. You're absolutely right. And what he is is now doing, because there is a real split in the Supreme

Court on this, because you have Biden and Obama appointees in there that are totally far left. They're not constitutionalists. And you have this type of thing where Roberts is waiting. He had his chance on the 5-4 decision on that first Trendy Rauga case that had vicious dissents by Thomas and another, the 7-2, where they could have done it then, but no, no. He decided that he didn't want to do it then. We have a very intrepid, fearful Chief Justice, but here's the problem, Bill.

Judges who have to be elected, now we're going to the state level, but judges and also who want to be appointed to the federal district court, pander to get in their political party, which means they've got to be good fundraisers. If you follow the money and go down in terms of the different judges that were appointed by Biden and Obama and with Soros money, you will find out immediately there's a 95% correlation with how they're voting, which is not the Constitution. Well, you know, we don't always see that correlation with Republicans. We see Republicans cross-dress quite more, you

know, quite a bit more often. That's true. I mean, we'll call it political cross-dressing. I mean, you'll see the Republican justices cross-dress and reach across the aisle to the other side much more often than you'll see Dem reach toward the Republican, wouldn't you agree, overall? And that's the imbalance that Republicans slash those who are to the right of independency, and the communists far left, that's the big weakness that the conservatives have, because they have values. And on the other hand, the values of those who are the judges that have been elected, it's a different value system.

It's a value system that has to do with what do I have to do to go ahead and to keep the money coming in after I retire. You know something, Doc, this is a serious question that's being raised a lot in the right-wing bro-mega type of circles, and it has to do with something which is perfectly constitutional for the president to do. That is to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. And I know that this is a nuclear option.

But when you're being told by federal district judges right now, inferior courts, that you can have eighteen and a half million people brought in here with absolutely no vetting whatsoever and every single one of those 18.5 million never authorized to be here are going to require a long drawn-out hearing in order to determine whether they can be thrown out when they were never allowed to come in in the first place.

Could not President Trump, if it keeps going in this direction, suspend writ of habeas corpus over immigration hearing? Could he do that? Legally, no. No? It's constitutional. You need to have a constitutional amendment. And this is the problem because the far left and the Democratic party has been totally

hijacked by the Soros far left crowd, the AOCs, the Sanders. Well, I'm looking at this here. I'm going to go to section 9, Article 1, section 9 here. Okay, you know this. I mean, you've read the Constitution, studied this, okay? Let's see. Let me go to Article 1, section 9.

The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it. President Trump is sending out a lot of people who have been definitely affecting public safety. In fact, those are the people he's been going after here right now in this. And you could arguably say the judiciary going after here right now in this. And you could arguably say the judiciary is in rebellion right now, couldn't you? I like the arguments. I don't think in my professional opinion that they're going to hold because Roberts, who has been squeamish, is certainly not going to go along with him

because it would wreck his image. Well, Article 1, Section 9 is about the President, right? You know, it's not about the Supreme Court. You know, the President has suspended writ of habeas corpus several times throughout the country's history. You know, World War II, Civil War, it happens all the time. It's happening. You're making an excellent argument, Bill, but you see, that's going to be wartime. You see, the judges, although it appears on that 1798 case that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of no hearings, you could see, and that was a 1952 case, you can see where they're

squishing on that one now, and right now there is a constitutional crisis that's been created by the judiciary. I do think that once the Supreme Court hears this, you're going to get a five to four decision that will kind of come in the middle, but it's not going to go ahead and give anything to the side because that is right now what our chief justice is trying to broker with the dissents and the conflict that's going on now.

But you understand that if you are going to require 18 and a half million, now I'm not even saying that they're going to realistically try to get 18 and a half million out, but if you're going to require a writ of habeas corpus for everyone who never was authorized to come here in the first place, don't have visas, don't have any paperwork other than the fact they've just been here for a long long time, okay, in some cases. You know, what this would say is that if you're requiring a hearing for every one of these individuals then, no one's going

home. Isn't that really effectively what we're talking about? That no one... That is where the next in point, that is where the source, Che Guevara, Democratic Party is going. That's what they want. They want to stop the distracts. They need vote carriers and voters. Okay, well could the president just ignore this as you know, as has happened in the past then? It's like, okay, Mr. John Marshall, Justice Marshall has made his decision, now let's let him enforce it. Well, I think part of the problem, Bill, is that even in that 72 decision

they said that for the Trent Deeraga 1798 case, that that has to be habeas corpus. That it was in the wrong court, and you can see the way the court is slishing all over the place by Roberts, and in there a habeas corpus petition is supposed to be for when you're using the 1798 case. Okay. So even with that, the aliens and, okay, got it. Yeah. And I'm not a fear monger.

I like your arguments. I wish I could go differently with you on some of it, because they know that conservatives, very, very conservative people, people think let's do this but in terms of the way this court is going it's going to be a difficult battle i do think you're going to get a a a murky decision having to do with the ability of stopping these long uh... you know u s a injunctions by one district court judge in the state of

oregon uh... you you know that the point is is that this is the civil war that's going on and this is nicaragua at the fight is not over right dock i appreciate this i have a feeling that you're gonna see president trump this is just a feeling not that i can't you know prove this but this is the one issue that I think he probably wins best on. And I would dare say, you know, the tariffs and the economic thing,

I don't think the news is quite as happy for the Trump administration as it is when he does his best to get rid of dirtbags who are causing trouble here in the United States. So I would figure that he is going to be going to work and Pam Bondi's going to be going to work on this and they're probably going to focus on this because getting dirtbags out of the country truly is an 80-20. 80% in favor, 20% not too worried about that situation. I totally agree. I think that when push comes to shove, that Trump could go ahead and use the argument you're making as the last ditch effort to bring in, having to do with the habeas corpus constitutional argument.

And these type of things will be thrown in. You're absolutely right. But I think where Trump is really brilliant, I really do, is that he is going ahead with the tax relief. That's the big thing. He gets that through, he is going to be in good shape in terms of the 2026 election for the House and Senate. And he's going ahead and using all these mirrors, but

he's got this grand thing in mind and the tariffs and everything else is to divert the far left. And I think it's brilliant because that's going to make or break the Republican Party in terms of the 2026 election. All right. I appreciate you. I mean, literally. I appreciate you taking on it, Doc. We'll talk next Monday, all right? You be well, and thanks so much. Bill, it's always my pleasure.

You take care. And by the way, final question I have for you, what type of vehicle do you and Judy use? Ha ha ha ha! The reason why I'm laughing is because we have 20 year old Hondas. Okay, so don't twerk on the roof, okay? I don't want to see you...

I don't want to have any stories about you twerking on the roof on a Saturday night and then getting run over by a fire truck, okay? Well, maybe before I came up here to Ashland and I was younger, but you're absolutely right. Okay, good. Just promise me. We need you for next Monday. Thanks, Doc. Take care. This is KMED.

The KMED News Center, here's what's going on. The gears of justice are grinding slowly for victims in the Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center case where fentanyl was swapped out for tap water. The suspect, Nurse Danny Marie Schofield, faces 44 counts of second-degree assault centering around allegations of harm to dozens of patients, some who died. She was arrested last June and has been out on bail since. Sheffield's lawyer asked for a fifth continuance, which was granted, so the next hearing is

scheduled for the end of May. Oregon's Department of Environmental Quality continues to investigate the origins of an April 9th cyber attack. Unconfirmed reports indicate a hacker group claims it's released millions of files stolen in the attack. DEQ says it's looking into the allegations. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield has filed yet another lawsuit against the Trump administration for threats to funding K through 12 schools. It's over the US Department of Education saying schools risk the loss of federal funds if they don't comply with rules banning diversity, equity and inclusion. Bill London, KMED. Looking at the price of gold this morning, $33.27. Yep,

it's up another quarter of a percent or so. Yeah, interesting times. Interesting times. Mr. Silver and Mr. Gold are saying interesting things about what is happening with the markets and the system. So we see stocks going up, we see gold going up, and you're thinking is it too late to protect some wealth? I would say no. Talk to Jay Austin and company, Gold and Silver buyers in Ashland and Grants Pass. And if you're thinking that this is not the end of the gold bull, maybe, may not, I don't know, but talk with Mark and Andrea.

We've heard it all. Apparently those larger tires don't provide more clearance. It was a really big bird. Might have been a pterodactyl.

This is one of my favorite bumper songs. Harvey Danger. I'm not sick, but I'm not well. I love that. That's what they should have

called it. They should have called it instead of flagpole sit-in. Nobody ever knew what it was. It was just saying I'm sick but I'm not well. But they couldn't find it in the in the CD store under that name. All right, let me talk to Bob. Hello Bob and Medford. You were over in Butte Falls the other day. Dr. Powers was talking about that. What's on your mind, huh? Yeah, last Thursday my wife and I drove up through Butte Falls on our way to Willow Lake to do some fishing and just aside their main road there was a white truck that said Butte Falls code enforcement on the side. Wait a minute, Wait a minute! Butte Falls?

Tiny little Butte Falls with code enforcement? Really? Yeah, you know, they don't have that many sidewalks, so I don't know if they're regulating the number of 4x4 trucks you can have parked in your front yard or what. Maybe the number of couches in the front yard. I don't know. Possibly. But since, as you mentioned in the show today,

they're an incorporated city, so I wonder if they had some COVID money they had to spend on that. So if you got any people, council, or whatever from Butte Falls as listeners, maybe they could enlighten me as to why Butte Falls needs a code enforcement. Yeah, because normally you'd think that if you go to live in Butte Falls needs a code enforcement. Yeah, because normally you'd think that if you go

to live in Butte Falls, a community like that, the whole idea is that you'd think that kind of a light touch on enforcement on most things. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong about that. I would just think that- Well, I've never seen a local police officer on the main drag, you know, a Barney Pipe or anybody like that hanging out there.

So, but they have a code enforcement truck, so somebody's doing something. I really appreciate you letting me know. Well, maybe they have the code enforcement there just for the cafe, right? You've got to make sure that the grease trap's cleaned out, you know, all that kind of stuff, right? Oh, I don't know. It's a quaint, cute little town. And have you ever been to the Falls there? Oh, of, yes absolutely. That's neat. The little road getting up there is a little tight but just drive slow and beautiful area. Yeah that's when you take

the van again. The van again goes slow and then nobody's angry with me because everybody else has to go slow too, okay? Exactly. All right, thanks Bob. Thank you Bill. It is 854 and change. All righty, Bill. Thank you, Bill. It is 854 and change. Let's do some emails of the day. Emails of the day are sponsored by Dr. Steve Nelson in Central Point Family Dentistry. It's next to the Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant in Central Point. It's a nice, spacious, comfortable dental office, comprehensive state-of-the-art dental

treatment for everyone. And what I really like about them is that they provide the dental care you have always expected. In other words, the good way that you have expected. Not the way that I got it from Dr. Wempa, the angry old military guy who was my dentist when I was a child, which I would say, Dr. Wempa, that hurts. And he says, no, it doesn't. Yeah, it does. Scuba, you ever have dentists like that when you're a kid? Yeah, Scuba Steve looking at me through the wall. Yeah, he knows. That hurts!

Shut up. No, they don't do that at Central Point Family Dentistry. Centralpointfamilydentistry.com. All right. I have Patrick who wrote me this morning about, I was talking about the Dear Abby thing, which the Chippendales chair family that was talking about that. And then there was this guy, Isaac, in the family who weighs 500 pounds and they have these little tiny spindly Chippendales chairs and Abby was saying, you know, well, just tell them we have a special chair for you. Right. And Patrick says, Hey, Bill,

maybe what they need to do is just say, we've decided to supersize a chair for you. Nah, maybe just put the Chippendale chairs away whenever he comes for a visit. That might be the better way of going about it and then you end up just having, well, go over to Asante or Providence and steal those supersized wheelchairs that they have that can handle like 600 pounds and say, Isaac, we found a chair for you and roll it up to the dinner table. Who knows? Elaine writes me this morning, Bill regarding Emily McIntyre. Yeah, Emily was sponsoring this Hospital 3624 requiring the signing up of school of Emily is sponsoring this hospital 3624 requiring the signing up of school, of homeschoolers to the state and doing some tests and stuff.

Now she is on a school board, but Emily doesn't like this. Emily says, Bill, she is a dangerous idiot. She thinks compromise makes her a great politician. I'm sure the Dems get a big kick out of her. I have contacted her office several times, but she ignores me. Oh Alright Elaine and thanks for sharing and telling me what you think. That's what this is all about By the way, the email is bill at Bill Myers show comm I sure appreciate you listening and we will continue this tomorrow on pebble in your shoe Tuesday for reliable
