This is a special episode of the podcast that is best viewed as a video. In this episode, the Dabble Box Task Force (Andria, Elizabeth, Jan, Stephanie, and Anna) asks the regular podcast host, Brad, the questions rather than the other way around while they all eat progressively hotter hot wings. You can watch the video version of this podcast on our https://www.ecpubliclibrary.info/podcasts (website) or on https://youtu.be/78cu4ES0dgo (YouTube). The idea for eating hot wings in this episode was borrowed from the show Hot Ones on YouTube.

Living on the Bank of a River, IIby Candace Hennekens When you’re past lovers Husband in the ground children grown and gone befriend a river. Discover how rivers flow, rise, fall, ice over, melt, churn, flash diamonds in sunshine. You can watch a river every second if you have time. You can learn from, listen to, and most of all love a river. Rivers are alive, full of life. Rivers are relaxed, meandering, often carefree. This will rub off. Watch for discovery of secrets. Wild things living nearby: a fisher, a fox, a family of otters. Don’t tell those secrets. Sit on the dock, run your fingers through the surface of the water, dangle your feet, submerge them. Fish. Swim. Boat. Get to know the river like its your new lover. When a leaf or twig floats by, cup it in the palm of your hand to examine. Consider it a gift.
