What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 712 & BENKYO RADIO 712.

Man! This weather has been intense! We were stranded in Oregon. Southwest made the mistake of cancelling thousands of flights because their pilots flew overtime and the weather was dangerous. Then we returned to California, but our flight from SFO to SMF was canceled. Had to drive a rental car during a thunderstorm back home. It was wild. We don’t get much rain in Central Valley California, so everybody is glad we’re getting some, especially because of the California Drought, but Jesus, this is intense. Let’s hope the weather storm calms down soon.

Until Next Time!
