Description
Music, sports, life, current events, pop culture, entertainment. Everything. The opinions are my own. I tell it like I see it. If you agree, or if you disagree, I welcome your feedback and commentary. Eventually, may start adding episodes of the radio show, Wes's Musical Meltdown, to the playlist. Or maybe just some of the voice breaks.

Jessica and I talk about some recent negative experiences with Valley Metro Paratransit here in the East Valley. We vent, offer anecdotes, try to think of solutions, and explain how this affects our working life and our work-life balance. This isn’t meant to be a woe-is-us thing, just getting our experiences out there after some frustrating recent events. Frustrating enough that it’s actually affecting my enjoyment of my new job.

The title pretty much sums it up. Continuing the trend of audio mow during the month of June. Yeah, I know I missed a couple days, but I will fix that. We’ll play catch-up at some point. We test the accessibility of the Amazon lockers, which many of my blind and visually impaired friends have asked me about since we have them at the new apartment. We also do a tasting of Woodford reserve with 7-Up. You also get about an hour and 25 minutes of Jessica and I bantering back-and-forth about everything from alcohol to Internet radio to life in general. The conversation took a lot of twists and turns. Definitely not for the easily offended as I always say on my podcast.

Just a quick update on life. Well, maybe not so quick. A lot has happened since I last updated this podcast. You thought I’d forgotten. No. I’m back. Your friendly neighborhood travel agent, DJ, and major pain in the ass is back to entertain, inform, and possibly offend you. There is offensive language in this podcast. If you don’t like that, that’s on you. Enjoy. I’ve joined by Jessica for quite a bit of the podcast. This is Raul audio. Did this on the iPhone. Didn’t really sit down and edit it or refine it, so I hope you enjoy. Future episodes might have a little more editing and refinement.
