Dr. Pete had tips on how to approach a dog that is prone to pee as soon as it sees you. One must break them of this habit when they are young. We also discussed cats who pee inappropriately, or in reaction to a medical condition. Should people take medicine prescribed for their pets? No. We heard what can happen.

Charlie discussed pruning of hydrangeas. Plants that have disease and/or insect damage should be pruned and then sprayed. We learned when and how to do each.

• Houseboat, with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren.
• Gigi, with Leslie Caron and Maurice Chevalier.

Gary Shapiro and we discussed the sphere in Vegas, and various artists whose concerts he enjoys or has enjoyed, like Sinatra, Swift and Mommy. That last one is Soccer Mommy.

Jeff Manke, our bird expert, talked about what impact the recent battery facility fire in Moss Landing might have on birds in the area. We also heard about Wisdom the albatross, birding for beginners--ducks are a good choice, Jeff's encounter with a golden eagle, and why and how bird populations change over time.

Ep. 510 - GMMB Tuesday 18 Feb 2025

Rachael came in and schooled us on various legal issues, like unreasonable doubt, why a jury's decision must be unanimous if it is to be a decision of guilty, and similar topics. Motivation for this was the AJ Gonzales trial, which has gone to deliberation.

Susan Douglas and Denise Lane joined us in the studio this morning. They were here for our show prep and all three hours of the show. They are to be new hosts here in the Santa Cruz Voice family. Their show will be called Go Ahead And Tell Me. It will be interviews and stories that inspire, guide, heal, and entertain. Be sure to listen to their show, which will be airing within just a few weeks.
