It's the long fourth of July weekend and we can only hope the bad weather doesn't spoil any of your holiday play but for one Oklahoma couple bad weather means chasing the dream video camera in hand, looking at the sky in a whole different light memorable forecasts will report our cover story already this year more than a thousand tornadoes sorted across the United States. One away from Val and Amy Castro run toward the what's that like taking it pretty intense. This thing we go tornado hunting with the storm chasers on Sunday morning a rose by any other day would smell as sweet or so Shakespeare wrote but even he might be speechless if he saw one particular rosebush blossoming in the American West tombstone, Arizona still thrives off its legacy as the town to tough this wild wild West town.

What's truly what is with growing the back league look at his softer side tombstone is not the okay corral is not the okay it's not a gunfight. The historic Shady Lady of tombstone ahead.

Jane Polly found us a somersault for the fourth performed by none other than John Mellencamp time with John Mellencamp will take you like. I know I should think about later this morning, our national Park Explorer Connor Knighton is on the trail again this holiday weekend this time of the Grand Canyon accepts what he found interesting wasn't only the scenery but something best described as per architecture. The view of the Grand Canyon from lookout studio is so impressive.

You hardly notice the studio itself. That's what pioneering architect Mary Coulter intended. Mary Coulter didn't set out to influence architecture. She set out to make buildings that she felt were appropriate, but keeping her designs true to a sense of place that's exactly what Coulter did later on Sunday morning we take a look at architecture. Tracy Smith speaks volumes with 102-year-old author Herman woke Martha Teicher shares a pretty juicy story about watermelons Jonathan Bigley Ali puts a new spin on the phrase could climb a tree, a postcard from Morocco and a lot more network featuring radio and TV personalities. Talking business support team and played for a lot of couples chasing the dream this weekend might be nothing more than cooking hotdogs at a backyard barbecue and then there's the couple memorable cork is tagged along with her Sunday morning cover story relish a bit more adventure on the ground right there. There were among the most destructive forces of nature.

This is absolutely crazy tornadoes that roam the Midwest this time of year and shapes both mesmerizing and terrifying in Oklahoma. Tornado warnings can mean the difference between life and death in a lower base here. There is rotation there are no bigger names chasing that Val and Amy Castro husband-and-wife team serve as a mobile early warning system for approaching storms. The casters are part of a network of storm chasers who broadcast live for Oklahoma City's CBS station. This outbreak can vary 49th St. it's right in front of us is tearing up everything that the sky is absolutely full of debris getting as close as possible to pinpoint a tornadoes path violent. Please have this thing most people would run away from these things. Here you are driving into them. What's that like your start well what is it like well it can get pretty intense conversation. The most common in the Midwest. Tornadoes can happen in all 50 states so far this year more than 1000 tornadoes have been reported across the country this past week alone.

35 tornadoes touched down in a broad swath through Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri. 34 people have been killed in 2017, almost double the number of people who died all last year and damage for major tornadoes.

The one that hit South Georgia in January can run into the tens of millions away from me. Val Castor has been chasing tornadoes for 25 years. He was working as a studio camera operator at Oklahoma City's channel, not what he volunteered. One stormy day in April 1991. Quickly proving storm chasing his full-time job with getting video of three tornadoes that they just so happened that none of the channel I photographers were able to capture video that day and so they were very excited about that. Val became the station's first storm chaser and a household name. A few years later meteorology student named Amy asked to write along for a college project. I really got to that point.this is so fascinating to actually be in the field and experience it firsthand. So as far as the official school project that never happened. But now it never happened. Then we started storm chasing about a year later, we started dating, got engaged and got Mary yell at her in their the casters now have six children and a devout faith. They rely on before going on the hunt.

Just put us where we need to be ordered and keep a safe process. They took us storm chasing in their decked out three-quarter ton truck. Val drives and broadcasts. Amy helps navigate and runs the camera. It's a high stress environment actually by two or three small tornadoes, small but was a moment when you thought, oh man, this is it. A lot of that is one of those came in 2013 as a deadly category five tornado Lord Moore Oklahoma closing getting up to block everything else out. So she says well finger stop not get things watching the road and so having an extra set of eyes really helps because I can turn around and look behind us or happened quite a few times. Tornado develops right highness get the camera on right there in 2013.

They decided to back away from this tornado in El Reno, Oklahoma. It's going to be huge. The whole circulation is about a mile and 1/2 around just right above the tornado. Absolutely the biggest tornado everything I can see is growing and very predictable. So we backed up unpredictable and deadly tornado took an unexpected turn that killed three storm chasers. Do you ever have that moment where you think maybe it's not worth that we have six children at home.

Yes, I think, again, the greater purpose behind it is saving lives on houses that are there completely.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever come up to you and said you saved my life with quite a bit. It's quite you're exactly right. It's not just tornadoes. This is very very fast last year. The casters started out covering a wildfire start over here and ended up saving a man the couples need for a front row seat to nature's wrath.

Maybe rubbing off their eldest daughter Grace snapped this photo of a tornado near their home before running into the storm cellar last spring always like to see it really cool on my first time, but for at least the next few tornado seasons. It'll just be mom and dad ever get old.

No, maybe we have chased five days in a row. Okay, we probably driven around 4000 miles in the last week that part you know is starting a little tiring.

You know, but it doesn't get all excited about pillars of hatred July 2, 1860 153 years, Congress approved the creation of a national statuary located in the original chamber welcomed two statues from each state patriotic Noah's Ark capitals.

A place where everything really is coming up Rose a rose by any other name the line belongs to William Shakespeare.

The biggest rosebush.

However belongs to a couple in a place not necessarily know its beauty. The Arizona desert is a place of contracts being but also by wild West town tombstone yes okay Karen should your day in this town too tough to die, fight several times but all shootouts and shot glasses since longtime Mayor Dusty asked Jim Stone has a town there was a fight everyday that was in a fight. There is a lot of good stuff all and you'll see the silver town line tombstones oldest resident is welcoming visitors here with outstretched arms 132 Forrest Rose Lady Banksy wrote in the back of an old boardinghouse back in 18 by a young bride who moved to tombstone from Scotland with her husband to describe because it's one of the sea like their love a tiny cutting Scottish countryside somehow blossom way out here by the early 1930s Robert Ripley.

Ripley's believe it or not declared it the largest rosebush in the world is beautiful almost 9 decades later folks at Guinness world record think it's still the largest last measurement its canopy of white blossoms covers more than 8000 ft.˛ Dorothy coined the term shady lady students shady sums only in the spring, shady lady has been in the family of Burton and Dorothy DeVere for six generations. His grandfather bought the boardinghouse at the turn of the last century plan laid on the ground for a number years.

My grandfather said he got tired of tripping on it so he said to my grandmother. One time he said I'm either going to kill it to dig it up and get rid of it. Grandma to put it up in the air and she said all don't kill it. It's too hard to grow anything in the Scripture.

Anyhow that's how the trellis got built running tombstone some much needed shade still welcome real estate foster groundskeeper Jeremy Dorf grandfather once worked deep in tombstones mind to keep the rosebush healthy be responsible for killing the tree, but I guess you can't do it after as long as it's lived. Which brings up the question is how did so tell the sewer well. Turns out tombstone had plumbing. One of the town sewage seeped into the rabbit warned of mine shafts dug beneath the town. Some within reach of the shady ladies rooms. We never fertilized to anybody in the family, never fertilized and until two years ago and just found its own fertilization and fertilization old binder. That's right yuck factor. Aside about X weeks once a year cause for celebration tombstone route is everything you might expect, including cancan leading the parade.

Rose Creek Road is Jackson Park Crown rosebush.

The just like her sister was two years early. Everything inside me.

Not just for gunfights at the time to test and I mean we have a lot more to us than just some especially the place where it seems so unlikely just lost for words. Did Moses reminds me a lot of her sister from New Mexico. She would love to see the DeVere so clippings rosebush can live far beyond her desert serving the makers of mortal the okay corral Excel should have a lifespan on my father used to say, everything dies but until it happens. Don't worry about. I hope this funds going to last a long time.

If history is any guide will, I think so.

Role tombstone shady lady even outlasted wider around here saying something coming up poly roles with Robert first. The author, I never thought is about the 102 and still write plate battleship California Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Lee Cowan that's Robert Mitchell and Victoria Tennant. 1983 TV miniseries wins based on the novel by Herman walk enduring appeal evokes many novel speaks poly though he's well past the century mark. He still writing and also talking with our Tracy Smith Oscar nominated role they came mutiny Humphrey Bogart made us believe he was crazy To clean the skipper of a World War II minds that he paranoia. I know exactly what lies what they were all disloyal. I try to relish it properly to the book, but they fought me at every turn.

Of course it's only a movie that you may not know that it drawn from real life. The man who wrote the Caine mutiny. Herman Wouk was once a naval officer himself, and he served aboard a minesweeper now at a rather reclusive hundred and two years old. He agreed to discuss it.

I think people who read the Caine mutiny today might be surprised that it's actually based on truth, well I showed you the picture that is that is the ship two years old and was there at Capt. quick. Yes, that was a More than one actually but he was unique in this way, it was Humphrey Bogart.

But he was work of imagination drawn out of real experience.

Talk about real experience. Herman Wouk is a giant of American literature. The Caine mutiny was only his first big success.

Herman Wouk grew up in the Bronx and after graduating Columbia University found work writing for comedian Fred Allen's radio show. No writer but I was did you at some point say okay I need to stop writing comedy and I need to do something more serious quite that way. I was very tired of the joke writing was more the Google I really didn't know what to do besides that, he wound up joining the Navy at the start of World War II. It was a game changer. I found my feet as a writer will report the facts, that's with the Navy. Cheers. But if Wouk's two years at sea, helped make his writing career. It was a night ashore that transformed his life had crashed her birthday party.

Herman and Sarah were married in 1945 and in time she became his literary agent. What role did Sarah play in your writing. This is says don't mention these uses important.

She was important to 60 in 1951 with her encouragement. He published the Caine mutiny line and won him a Pulitzer Prize and well all of its success. Says the Caine mutiny was only a start. Was there a moment when you knew wow this is no without some seated I never thought is what the I knew that there was much more to do really invokes mind, the World War II books and movies up to that time were missing something. So we started what he called the main task. What was the main task then test was to so far as I could fix down literature. What happened World War II and the Holocaust task result was a pair of novels first published in 1971 was set on the eve of World War II. Did it meet your expectations. This could have been better, deeper told the story. The book was a big bestseller, and you may recall, it became a very big TV miniseries the made-for-TV movie that death camps actually filmed no horrific details writing this right book about the war your teaching people history. That's the main task.

How does a boy from New York City end up spending 30 years in Palm Springs. The looks moved to the California desert in 1990.

He says it was his wife's idea.

Sarah passed away in 2011, but she still an important presence in his life. She believed in you. This will myself with the time and want to get married. At first she had to kind of convincing José, no more no more. His latest book he says will be his last sailor and fiddler glanced back at a remarkable life. Herman Wouk is a genius at telling stories. He just doesn't seem to care much for sharing his own have a feeling you're not going to answer but I'll ask you anyway have a stop writing about and beyond that point yourself another something sweet and nice watermelons are a pretty juicy Fourth of July treats but if you thought over the same wrong. Few if any computer variety or modification or consent.

Don't tell him that Brantford watermelon is a nice not only is the Bradford about the sweetest juiciest probably never heard of no story is pretty juicy in the sandy soil in Sumter County, South Carolina with generations have been harvesting these 30 to 40 pound babies the year I came across this book from 1865 and I'm reading that there's these ancestral melons that are the most sought after melons and I go down this list and Bradford's one of the children had no idea that the Brantford watermelon was so sought after that it was famous once it seeds in high demand and that organized gangs sent out to steal the head with standing out by watermelon patches. According to the TV series the mind efficient farmers. Please certain meld is not at all newspaper stories of entire families being poisoned by themselves and there's another hazard rollback block windows under nice warm Allen's dangerous spiders aside, the reason you can't buy Brantford watermelon at your local supermarket is that, unlike its commercial it's got a skin which means it doesn't travel well careful so forgot and was to be extinct. I grew them as a kid my cell hundred watermelons a year and you know make $500 off on rediscovering their history convinced mass in 2012 to give up his landscape architecture practice moved back to the family home and grow melons for a living. I have this tremendous family gift and what am I going to do with his first decision to let nature help him grow his watermelons without using size irrigation will save about the top 5% of the crop for seed melons. The most perfect ones that were sturdy enough genetically to thrive whenever the summer's weather condition. These are about 400, 450 personnel per for not Bradford growing watermelons is about is really growing a life growing near Michael which is why he helped found a charity in parched East Africa called watermelons for water, watermelons can take contaminated water that we can't drink and it'll bio filter it naturally through the root system through the plant stored in the beautiful green 4 1/2 gallons of juice in a 40 pound fruit tremendous last summer with the help of his five harvest is about 25 heirloom Bradford Mellon.

Some he saved to see some he sold for eating $20 each.

The rest he turned into pickles from his grandmother's recipe, watermelon, brandy and watermelon molasses taste a little like Guinness.

That's why Betty has begun making believe it or not, watermelon here. Is there anything in this family is made up of water.

There have been Brantford's in this part of South Carolina since before the Revolutionary war.

This is the house that I grew up in, and the land that surround us, is something that I'm attached to when I grew up, we knew everybody around and there was that sense of community. I want to make sure that gets passed down as well as watermelon and not Bradford's mind, the one reads the other. Yes, those are goats Street. There are some animals you expect to see a tree, birds, squirrels, caps perhaps, but goats Jonathan Bigley sent us this postcard from Rocco. There's tranquility sweetest countryside and enchantment in the Oregon forest. These sun-kissed trees were once at risk of being wiped out for lumber today. They are a lifeline, thanks to their inhabitants of Morocco have extraordinary skill with the finesse of a tight rope walker. The scale up the precarious branches verify that I without all, it's a Darwinian talent. Goats developed to reach what was dangling on the other end of the stick organ fruit, but not contain the valuable organ oil known for its antiaging properties.

It's popping up in everything from shampoo and body lotion to food products but nowhere on the labels will you find the full story behind how this oil was born goats. In truth, it's like a Moroccan garage yeah the first time I came to Morocco and I said these guys climbing the trees.

I thought I was hallucinating. Along these roads. It is normal to see hundreds of goats in trees and is up bed and Gabrielle drew the show me this is where their New York-based organ oil brand Moroccan elixir takes root. They're basically eating testing at and then they either bedded up or put that out that you heard that right. Centuries ago locals discovered the goats digestive tract made it easier to crack the organ fruits not loyal trapped inside. The only catch the nuts need to be collected by hand is on… That's that's a little poop it over and we did collecting dozens of nuts that when one end and came out the other stuff that's how it comes out so guys will come to Mars on a co-op cooperative is one in a number of organ oil production sites run by Berber women. You won't find fancy machines here for any machine for that matter, so that's actually the production every ounce of oil is pressed by hand.

It's an ancient technique but not is cracked. The seeds extracted. They are then ground into a thick paste using the traditional stone wheel water is added and tediously mixed, and finally filtered into this golden liquid.

How much time to think like a 40 hours of labor work 40 hours work hours after they got done network one organ tree can only produce 1 L of oil a year. It's one of the reasons the precious oil in the name liquid gold today because of demand fueled by celebrity users like Angelina Jolie and Giselle Bunche and 1 L of pure organ oil sells for up to $300. Some of the most expensive oil in the world practically overnight Berber women went from poor housewives to businesswomen with a steady income. Each coworker gets a percentage of the profits that makes a hometown hero for the demand he brings into Marciano and oil producers like Khadijah to Boca first met when he was a teenager. Khadijah six years old, has been making organ oil since she was a child like before. I was like a life was very hard like was like no income but thanks to organ oil. She bought a house and traveled. She's even paid for a brand-new set of teeth, and there is plenty of well-being spread around us. We all across town you'll see signs advertising our businesses. But that means the goats are now struggling to keep up with the demand. After all, they can only process so much fruit.

As a result, most local companies have started phasing out the goats and replace some Berber women's traditional roles with machines can produce 40 L per day, compared to 2 m when done by hand. Some people are businesses make money like you started this business is a passion to get back to shape the culture actually shave with this woman's, the wind model has like a lot of work with women like good quality always has a story behind the story that begins in these Moroccan treetops and ends in shops like med and Gabrielle's in New York City. They could be the last few drops of an ancient Moroccan tradition, unable to keep up with modern demands later architecture at the Grand Canyon plate Sunday morning on CBS and here again the calendar so good was a summer song back in 1982 for John Brown Then John. Decades later he still see her with stories to tell and a lot of drive besides Jane Polly found out first lives outside. Keep your feet on the plague where last month I crossed my mind die. I am not I know I should've one John Mellencamp has come a long way. Seymour is about 50 miles from here is 86 acre estate borders Lake Monroe near Bloomington. What is it that human I have to come home and I can be away for a long time back here to decompress and run… No I okay 85 is what you claim all but I didn't come home to Indiana to ride, I came to talk. Where would you rather be than sitting here being interviewed while cards on the table. I don't like. I have talked about myself 40 years.

I'm just not that interesting, not interesting, married in high school and the father in 19 Wasted no time at 21 New York to study art or to sign a record.

It turned out your card. Certainly wanted me.

The record company wanted to give me a C. I ended up getting a record deal like that. I interviewed the head of a record company and he said within minutes.

Everybody knows that somebody was watching the door has something but the most humility. I say that's what happened. They did that were still listening to Mellencamp classics like Jack and Diane. I know 25 guy with no life would go on long after the thrill of living is gone. I wrote those words, and for me it was very helpful because you I want to do something every day. I want something everyday. I want to make something every day if I go for day and don't make anything guilty about. I love every part of that statement what you think is delighting you. I wrote in song. Life is short song he's been smoking by the way most of his life since he was 10 is also a serious and prolific painter's portraits have been shown in museums. The music often interrupts the brushwork is on the new record called easy targets. That song I can keep so songwriting has become like a real surprised and really exciting at my age worksite. Now the 23rd album is called sat down and have taken notice on finding this out for you and really, really good.

I don't care this matter to me if you if you care about the music changed over the name of the 1970s through the 80s. He was John's first manager thought it would sell more records while he went by John cougar Mellencamp by the early 90s. The cougar was time political Mellencamp songs about freedom struggling farmers working to make assumptions. My biggest disappointment. You would think all the god damn people in that somebody would take the time to set or start I was so $51 for John Mellencamp. Sounds like one self-assured son of a gun. She is the reason why here's the trick that has confidence. My grandmother told me buddy. Don't forget you're the handsomest luckiest talented way. The flipside of that is is really hard for girlfriends to compete with the knowledge that relationships have been a struggle with the greatest lesson you've learned from the women in your life just like that's all I can say about that is been linked in recent years to perennial cover girl Christie Brinkley dressed Meg Ryan before them, three wives has five children and nine grandkids. We talk what triggers you have a voice to protect you in my voice fantastic like a black guy thing. That's what I want. I wanted to sound like you know Louis Armstrong but I did not send like a white guy that I got my babies.

He says he doesn't worry so much about cigarettes and his health. He's got a strange theory, rightfully or wrongfully.

I believe that it's the combination of cigarettes and alcohol get people to of them combined and he hasn't had a drink. He says since college is probably a wacky idea, but it comforts me now that I said that two weeks from now you Mellencamp dies hard.

He's already had a heart attack at 42 – think about mortality I'm 65 years old. I can see the finish line. I only have so many summers. I intend not to waste the Drive Down Hwy. in America.

Without that storage trucks we take a moment now for the important patriotic message from our contributor Jim graphic as we approach this July. Our country feels more divided than ever. I could talk about what divides us and how I write about everything, but I'd rather focus on what we all share in common is American you see I'm lucky enough to travel around this great land doing standup for audiences that have really good taste and I've noticed a few things. It seems wherever I go.

In America, people seem to have three things in common. We love our country we love our family and we all have a storage unit. Supposedly we live in a throwaway culture we replace our phones every year throw out close that still fit us. Some people even have starter marriages, but we still have storage units you can drive down the highway in America without passing a storage unit complex.

It appears everyone has a storage unit now people with attics and basements seem to have storage units. I don't know why there are so many storage units. We all can't be in between moves. Maybe it's quantity over quality. Maybe we are all expecting a call from the Smithsonian a juvenile ugly lamp that is also a football helmet is were doing an exhibit on losers. If you can get back to DC ask a smart person where it is. I don't understand the logic of a storage unit hey you know that ugly stuff.

We never use when we pray a stranger to hold onto it.

That way we can cringe every month, when we realize this stuff isn't worth the monthly chart pay. People should stop wasting money on storage unit buy a ticket to my show God bless America coming up these buildings were built to more tourists to the Grand Canyon. The other Grand Canyon attractions and the woman behind Connor Guyton is on the trail through our national parks. Once again, but sometimes the natural beauty is all there is to appreciate.

Sometimes the architecture called is just as moving even in the Grand Canyon.

If someone were to come, the Grand Canyon and just look out and maybe not turn around and look back to be missing out on some of the park experience. Most of the 5 1/2 million visitors through Grand Canyon national Park. Each come for the few and when they inevitably need a break from the majestic scenery inside shopper souvenirs admired check in the great fire. The buildings of the Grand Canyon are just as grand as the distance a stunning example architecture opportunity being Grand Canyon Village among the best election of mariculture buildings in the world was a real draw from excited about mariculture visionary architect behind the canyon's most recognizable buildings in 1869. Coulter, child of Irish immigrants.

16 interior design in California. She went on to work for the Fred Harvey company the house hotels and restaurants springing up throughout the Southwest culture learned on the job and eventually secured her first assignment as an architect to design the Hopi house built in 1905. You could've told me it was 600 years before that tightly connected to those precedents and she was using motor models for Sarah Mason cultures Hopi house was heavily influenced by her time spent roaming the Southwest, drawing on ancient Native American structures for inspiration.

Once completely fake and surprisingly authentic. The Hopi house was designed so that native artisans could live and work on site.

All told, it was pretty ambitious for a gift shop. These buildings were built for more tourists to the Grand Canyon.

That's what they were, for they were marketing tools Mary Coulter just happened to be GHS and create them and they were interesting from day one.

Bruce Crossman is the director of sales and marketing for Santerre, the company that runs Hopi house today. I view her buildings more as part visual art on the Grand Canyon then just buildings or as gift shops, cultures, buildings like lookout studio hermits rest are still used to sell souvenirs. Coulter designed them.

She was also selling a story to develop a back story that a hermit actually lived there and that when people visited that they had just missed a hermit like he could've just left to go mining or whatever he might be doing. She pre-suited the ceiling there to make it look like there had been a fire for years and years and years and years, inside the Bright Angel Lodge Coulter created a massive fireplace off layers of rock funded each layer of the canyon to tell the story of geologic time.

She had everything from river rocks to the this new shifts and very hard granite at the bottom of the Grand Canyon to each of the sedimentary layers as you go up to the kind of limestone on the top and Coulter stays likely to catch her chatting by the fire chain smoker Fonda Stetson hats. Coulter was notoriously prickly. He left for a couple weeks and her one of her form and wanted to impress her by building another layer or two, and so she came back and he said look Mary what I've done.

Her response was take it all down so she had to be tough. I think in those days to really compete in a man's world. Coulter was just one of a handful of female architects working in the United States, and she was working for the Fred Harvey company.

Her designs were never really hers.

She was just an employee she put all her effort into her work, rather than becoming famous today. Coulter has finally gained some recognition for desert watchtower rising out of the South rim of the canyon is seen as a masterpiece where Coulter wanted to design a building that would both blending that setting is a clear and culturally and also provide a good observation point for visitors to the Grand Canyon Coulter's designs contributed to an architectural movement. National Park rust style and display parks across the country.

Coulter was trying to compete with nature, with her. It was always the setting never the structure that was meant to be the star. How did you propose. I asked her very money we say farewell to a favorite cup.

Next, it happened this past April. The final chapter in a love story. We first shared with you two years ago.

The story of a couple I was privileged to meet and won't soon forget: on my way midday when I was rocky in their skilled care facility outside Kansas City back in 2015 just after each had celebrated their 99th birthday. Never hang on that in and of itself is remarkable milestone but the reason we visited because of how long they been on this planet. Colazal, but because of how long they been on this planet as a couple to remember what your first date was the hill and parks in the town and parked first date Christ was a good Catholic girl kissing and telling he met his kids in the small town of hemming for Nebraska the time they were in high school already had eyes for each other for years and so finally at age 18, Dale popped the question, how did you propose any money is longtime sweetheart accepted that was back in 1933 pretty good looking couple make up each of the pair. They were married 81 years, 81, longer than any couple. Is there a secret to how you guys to stay together, what's up, I always have my way.

Just over two months after a visit. Alice passed away leaving the love of her life behind Dale carried on without her for a while, but it never felt entirely right in almost 2 years to the day. Alice is passing Dale went to join. He was 101.

What a wonderful ride with behind no formula, no easy path for getting married right what they do leave behind is a reminder that even after 81 years to get life can still see far too short to sound like a long time. Yeah, longtime account for joining us this Sunday morning. Will see again next week is to take out with preacher Garrett this week Stephen Law ally of Mitch McConnell and one of Washington's biggest midterm money list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia.

Georgia is right up there, but New Hampshire's surprise New Hampshire people really just kind of don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take out with major Garrett on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
