Bob Smith 0:00
Kamala Harris will be America’s first woman first black and first Asian vice president. But she will not be the first person of color to serve as VP who was

Marcia Smith 0:10
and how long does it take a snowflake to fall to Earth from its cloud? Marsha,

Bob Smith 0:15
I didn’t want to get political answers to those and other questions coming up in this edition of the off ramp with Bob

Marcia Smith 0:23
and Marsha Smith.

Bob Smith 0:41
Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy. Take a side road to sanity and get some perspective on life. Well, we enter a new year 2021 And this year, Kamala Harris will be America’s first woman first black and first Asian vice president. She will not however be the first person of color to serve as Vice President. Who was who was

Marcia Smith 1:07
okay tic tic tic tic prefers person of color. Were they African American? No. Okay. All right, then. I have no idea.

Bob Smith 1:17
It was Charles Curtis. He was a Native American lawmaker. We had a Native American or an Indian vice president in the late 1920s and early 30s. Did you know that? I did not. I didn’t either. He was a member of the Kansas called nation and he served as vice president under Herbert Hoover. And the two were elected to office in 1928. He grew up in North Topeka, Kansas. He was born to a white father and a one quarter call Indian mother.

Marcia Smith 1:44
I’ll be darned Yeah.

Bob Smith 1:45
Can I say one more thing about him?

Marcia Smith 1:47
I’ll go ahead.

Bob Smith 1:48
He had a link to a great event in 1804 in American history.

Marcia Smith 1:52
Do you have any idea what that might have been linked to 1804?

Bob Smith 1:56
And that was a great exploration. The Pacific Northwest. No. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 2:00
What was the the, what you call it? What you call

Bob Smith 2:04
Lewis and Clark? Yeah. Okay. He was the great great grandson of white plume, a call chief who offered to help the Lewis and Clark expedition along with second Java. Yeah. Isn’t that interesting? Yes. He had a career as an attorney. Then he was elected to Congress in 1892. He served in the House in the Senate, he actually ran for president. Did you know that? No, an Indian ran for president. In 1928. He lost his bid for the presidential nomination to Herbert Hoover. And then he tapped him as his running mate. That’s how he got on the ticket. But he was actually a candidate for president. So

Marcia Smith 2:36
Bob, let’s get up to the clouds. How long does it take a snowflake to fall from the cloud? No, that’s

Bob Smith 2:43
a political term people use. Oh, my goodness. But we’re not talking about we’re talking about real snow real snowflakes. Just

Marcia Smith 2:48
give me minutes estimate.

Bob Smith 2:51
How long does it take once it falls from the cloud to get to Earth? Yeah. All right. Well, now they fly through the air the very light. I think it takes a little while I bet it takes two minutes to get from a cloud to the earth.

Marcia Smith 3:01
Yeah. You know, I was thinking the same thing. But now. It is. 45 minutes minimum. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Bob Smith 3:09
So snowflakes lasts for 45 minutes from the cloud to the ground. If

Marcia Smith 3:12
it’s not odd. I imagine. The climatologist Nolan doeskin states, the vast majority of Snowflakes fall at speeds between one to six feet per second. In a typical winter storm snowflakes begin their descent from a cloud layer about 10,000 feet above the ground. Assuming an average fall speed of 3.5 feet per second. It takes more than 45 minutes to reach the Earth. Yeah, I would have thought a lot less.

Bob Smith 3:41
That is amazing. I had no idea. Take that long. Yeah, that they would last that long.

Marcia Smith 3:46
Yeah, it’s usually about an hour actually.

Bob Smith 3:48
Wow. Okay, I have a question for you. Okay. Sure. What bird.

Marcia Smith 3:52
The point is, is

Bob Smith 3:54
that is kind of the point of this show. Let’s top each other with questions. I’m going into one of your areas of expertise. Yeah, animal questions. So what bird can fly without stopping for more than 2000 miles? And why is it a good thing? He can go such a distance

Marcia Smith 4:16
two part question.

Bob Smith 4:17
This is the lightning round. Marcia, that two part question.

Marcia Smith 4:20
You got that little smug schoolboy. look on your face. God,

Bob Smith 4:26
okay. Again, what can fly with that style?

Marcia Smith 4:28
We’ll say that’s a long time so it’s not the it’s not the things that fly over our house all the times that wonderful Canadian. That’s too far for them. So it has to be smaller. I don’t know swallows going to Capistrano? That sounds

Bob Smith 4:45
wrong. You’ve probably never heard of this. I never heard of this bird. It’s called a Curlew. Now, keep in mind see you are le W. The Curlew. It’s the bird most of his flights are over water. Why is it a good thing he can go 2000 miles without stopping as he can’t swim, he can’t swim. I

Marcia Smith 5:01
wonder what it looks like. All right. Okay, here’s the question I asked you last night, Bob, and you didn’t know. So I said, I’m gonna save it for today. And

Bob Smith 5:09
then I went to Wikipedia. No, no, no, I don’t know. What

Marcia Smith 5:13
is a Mass Observation? Just diarist.

Bob Smith 5:17
A mass observation is diarist. Is that another term for a reporter?

Marcia Smith 5:22
No, but that’s a good guess. Because

Bob Smith 5:25
you know, somebody who’s looking at things and journaling about it. Yeah. I don’t know. What’s the answer?

Marcia Smith 5:30
I bet our friends in England listening to the show. No. I’m reading as you know, the splendid in the vial by Eric Larsen. And it takes place with Churchill during World War Two and Hitler’s invading. And his her daughter said, This is what I read to cheer me up during the political turmoil.

Bob Smith 5:50
But to Yeah, Nazi bombing of London, back

Marcia Smith 5:53
in 1937, England got this great idea. It was actually during the abdication of that king who went off with his woman to America. Yes, Edward. Edward. Yep. Well, it was decided at that time, it would be interesting to have the general public’s observation of general things, just regular everyday people, not historians, not politicians, and not reporters or journalists, right. It’s the thoughts and feelings of everyday people at any given time. And their opinions. They write in a diary, they’re given diaries

Bob Smith 6:29
called Twitter. No, okay. But these

Marcia Smith 6:33
are kept in the Mass Observation archive of the University of Sussex and are turned in there. And you can go read over 75 years on and off, people have been just doing everyday observations of Everyday Things. And they diary it, put it in the diary, you know, the bombs are falling World War 204. And they people and use this as research. It’s certainly in the book that I’m reading now, as how the general public was thinking about any given event at the time, well, that’s a great idea. Yeah, I would have never ever thought and I

Bob Smith 7:08
could digitize all those texts. So they could you know, they’re in text form. So they could digitize all that information that reminds me of the Library of Congress in the 30s and 40s. started recording people. There are recordings of people the morning after Pearl Harbor on the streets, asking them what they Yeah, yeah.

Marcia Smith 7:23
And Mass Observation sought to bridge the gap between how the media represented public opinion and what ordinary folk actually felt and thought. So this is something it’s still going still going on. It started in 37, stopped in the mid 60s and then started up again in 81. And it’s still going on.

Bob Smith 7:42
Well in England. Yeah. Okay, and what’s the term for the person again,

Marcia Smith 7:46
Mass Observation, NIST diaries. Okay. That’s a mouthful.

Bob Smith 7:51
The mo D is what it is. Okay. All right, Marcia, here’s one for you. As we are all in still some form of lockdown almost a year after COVID began people are always having trouble with exercises getting enough exercise. What popular exercise device was originally invented to torture prisoners. Honest to God, what

Marcia Smith 8:14
do you have in the basement? Is it a slant board?

Bob Smith 8:16
No, no, no.

Marcia Smith 8:19
Thank gosh, I don’t know what

Bob Smith 8:21
the treadmill Oh, and

Marcia Smith 8:24
they kept going faster and fast. You think it’s

Bob Smith 8:27
torture? You’re right. It was invented as a punishment for English prisoners. Oh, those

Marcia Smith 8:31
English just know how to. Yeah, so this was

Bob Smith 8:35
invented by a guy named Sir William cubit. The English engineering venerated in 1818. It was called the discipline mill. It was invented to occupy the time of prisoners sentenced to hard labor. Unlike you, they couldn’t jump off. When they decided they were done with their treadmill. I jump a lot, man. In those days, 10 to 20 prisoners stood on a long wooden wheel affixed to 24 tread boards, and rounded circumference and the prisoners would grip a horizontal bar for support and then they stepped in unison, pushing the wheel around in exactly the same way a river moves a water wheel didn’t keep going faster and faster. No, they just kept going. They had to do it for hours and hours at a time. They were thin. It took two revolutions a minute, and the space stepped over by each man was 2193 feet, or 731 yards per hour. Now, while the wheel was used mainly as a form of punishment, one wheel at Brixton prison was used to crush grain. So that makes sense. That’s how they got the name mill tread mill. That’s how they got the original

Marcia Smith 9:39
form and function. So that had good

Bob Smith 9:42
but they don’t have form and function like that at

Marcia Smith 9:44
the gym. No, no, you’re just going nowhere. So

Bob Smith 9:47
the treadmill was originally invented to torture prisoners and that means these were people who didn’t have to worry about burning too few calories. They just had to worry about burning up too many and dying from exhaustion.

Marcia Smith 9:58
Always a problem okay. I’m not in this house, but all right. What is Bob The shortest unit of time ever recorded?

Bob Smith 10:07
So it has to be fraction of a second, then. Oh, yes. I don’t know. I haven’t thought of that. So it’s it’s some some very small division of a second of time. Correct. All right, I got the answer. Let me just say, no, okay.

Marcia Smith 10:21
No, let me just say this, Bob. I’ll be back in Zepto. Second,

Bob Smith 10:25
Zepto. Second,

Marcia Smith 10:26
how long is that scientists have measured the world’s smallest unit of time, and it’s called the Zepto. Second, it’s a trillionth of a billionth of a second. That’s a decimal point, followed by 20. zeros. Holy candle one. Okay.

Bob Smith 10:42
And a one of course, well, you have to have a one you have to have a number in the very

Marcia Smith 10:46
end. Absolutely. Yeah. It was recorded by a group of scientists in Germany. They measured how long it takes for a photon to cross a hydrogen molecule around 247 Zepto seconds. And that made this measurement the shortest time span ever to have been successfully record.

Bob Smith 11:06
I’m sure that’s something the Mass Observation diaries have seen many times.

Marcia Smith 11:13
Okay, 247 Zepto seconds. Well, and that’s not even a second, then you know, okay, go ahead, Bob.

Bob Smith 11:21
All right. I’ve got one here. You talked about science. When UCLA researchers were looking into how to make safer helmets for football players, motorcyclists, and racecar drivers. What animal did they consult? They had to do some research. They already had heart helmets, but they wanted to make them safer. Safer. What animal that turned off. No, no, not turtles shells.

Marcia Smith 11:42
You know, protective shell. This

Bob Smith 11:44
one makes more sense. Marsh I know you want to try to make that you want to justify laughs No, not a

Marcia Smith 11:48
lobster. It’s hard to crack those damn shells. All right, what woodpecker?

Bob Smith 11:55
Because the scientists wondered how woodpeckers avoided getting headaches with all the knocking and tapping and they found out that woodpeckers brain is tightly packed with very little fluid surrounding it. That makes it difficult for shock to be transmitted. Also, the woodpecker tightens its head and neck muscles when it taps so they recommended light tight fitting helmets with a spongy layer under the outer shell as well as exercise programs to strengthen neck and shoulder muscles. So the woodpecker improved football your favorite game?

Marcia Smith 12:23
protects our little Aaron Rodgers head. That’s right. Okay with me. All right, Bob. The United States is the 11th richest country in the world per capita as of 2020. It’s like around $65,000 based on GDP, okay, per capita. So we’re 11th Can you name any of the ones that are ahead of us? So

Bob Smith 12:46
this is the what was the metric again? The wealthiest country per capita?

Marcia Smith 12:50
Yeah, the richest country in the world per capita? Okay as of now All right. So what countries we don’t have to do them in order just give me any you can you think I’ll let you know if they’re in the top? 10.

Bob Smith 13:00
I’m gonna ask you if China is in the top 10 No, no, because they’ve grown their middle class tremendously. Yeah. But not yet. Okay. So it would be European countries primarily, like Germany. I would think Germany would be number two. No, Great Britain.

Marcia Smith 13:13
No, France. No, and,

Bob Smith 13:15
and Italy. So those are the thank you for the answer. Germany, France, Italy and wrong.

Marcia Smith 13:23
Just named a top 10 in order. Good. Yeah. K tar. That’s, that’s number one.

Bob Smith 13:28
I thought that was something you eat. Well, that’s tartar. Okay. K tar   Q UAT R? Yeah. Okay. You said Tater.

Marcia Smith 13:35
And it’s more than twice our 65,000. So it’s 132,000 PCAP. So it’s a small population of rich people. Yeah. Well, top countries tend to be very small and have lucrative natural resources, like oil or something fun like gambling. So. So after k tar, you have Macau I believe, which is all gambling. Yes, Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Brunei. Then after that is Norway, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Switzerland. But interests are all ahead of us. They’re all none of them are very big. But they’re all richer than in

Bob Smith 14:12
terms of per capita wealth by individuals. Yeah, that’s pretty cool. That’s pretty interesting. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 14:17
And we’re on 11th. So we didn’t make the top 10.

Bob Smith 14:21
All right, Marcia 2021 is the 50th anniversary of several momentous events back in 1971. Now, I’m gonna give you some clues for each one and you tell me what happened in 1971. That is something everybody goes, Oh, that’s that was 50 years ago. I didn’t know that. Okay. Number one, Henry Kissinger took a secret trip.

Marcia Smith 14:42
Where did he go? He went to China.

Bob Smith 14:45
That’s exactly right. President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had been trying to think of a way to get a counterweight to Russia, Russia’s power in the world and they thought, you know, let’s see if we can open up China. We didn’t have any have relations with them at all. And so he made that secret trip in July of 1971. And then Nixon went to China the following year. And that opened up 50 years of trade and travel between the US and China. There are several other things that happened that year in return to those.

Marcia Smith 15:14
I thought you’d have another one. Okay.

Bob Smith 15:16
What did the FCC do in 1971 that changed the way you communicate? The FCC made a decision. Oh,

Marcia Smith 15:24
was this something on the radio stations that they know? Now? This is another form of television

Bob Smith 15:31
though another form of communication? Radio in your home? Everybody has everybody

Marcia Smith 15:36
has a telephone it was they broke up the monopoly. The first step

Bob Smith 15:40
towards breaking up? Yeah, AT and T they gave a small telephone company permission to start using 18 t’s infrastructure. Do you remember the name of that little company? Bell? It’s not with us today?

Marcia Smith 15:51
It’s I don’t know. It’s been subsumed

Bob Smith 15:52
the MCI. Really. Yeah. Remember MCI, that was a small company. They, they their focus was opening up long distance and their founder, William McGowan, he raised $110 million. That was considered a huge startup fund at the time. And he spent 10 years fighting in courts and eventually in 1980, they broke up a TNT and MCI had access to switch network connections because all of the long distance was extravagantly priced.

Marcia Smith 16:19
There was I remember that it was a it was a good thing.

Bob Smith 16:22
So that led to everything we had today, new phone technology, software, internet calls, texting, video calls, and let’s take a break. We’ll be back you’re listening to trivia on the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. Okay, we’re back Bob and Marsha Smith and the off ramp. Okay, I got a question for you. A new kingdom came to power in 1971. And millions of us have visited it. A new kingdom came to power in 1971. It’s called the Magic Kingdom. Yeah, yeah. 50 years ago was when Disney World opened. You know how many people came the first day? A lot? 10,000 people? Oh, really? Yeah, they were expecting 200 I know why.

Marcia Smith 17:04
That is because everyone thought it would be too many people there so nobody came. They thought it would be huge. Yeah. And it wasn’t it perked up later in the week. As I recall,

Bob Smith 17:13
Disney used a half a dozen shell companies to anonymously buy up the land they needed how many acres was originally bought. How lots? Yeah. 27,000 acres. Yeah. And the big difference between Disneyland and Disney World is acres. Well, yeah, but what he had in it it was not just a theme amusement park. He he created the city of tomorrow, which was Epcot Epcot Animal Kingdom theme park, Hollywood studios and plus resort amenities on site you know hotels on site because Disney was so upset that all these cheap hotels came up around Disney Land. And then of course the mono rail transportation nightclubs and all that so that’s that set off an entertainment revolution

Marcia Smith 17:58
you know what, what is the largest Lego structure ever created in

Bob Smith 18:02
the world? Wasn’t the US Capitol, wasn’t it? No,

Marcia Smith 18:06
that’s a long time ago.

Bob Smith 18:07
Now we saw one of those recent years a bring them to the malls. Yeah, huge and beautiful. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 18:13
I don’t know what what’s the biggest one? It’s a 16 foot replica of an Egyptian king using 200,000 pieces, individual pieces and weighing more than a ton. A king a pharaoh. Yeah.

Bob Smith 18:28
What are you talking about?

Marcia Smith 18:29
Well, this is a Lego Egyptian pharaoh replica. It’s an Egyptian king. That is 16 feet tall.

Bob Smith 18:38
Okay. Wow, that’s a lot of flats a lot of Legos. Well,

Marcia Smith 18:41
it weighs more than a ton so it Lord yeah, there’s a lot of big structures made out of legs. Yes, it

Bob Smith 18:47
would be a building or something not a purse. Yeah. And there

Marcia Smith 18:50
are a lot I was and I could not for the life of me find out where this is. But it’s more than a ton so it’s not going anywhere for a while.

Bob Smith 18:58
I have another American history question about coins. Why is the Indian Head Penny Miss named? The Indian Head Penny there is

Marcia Smith 19:07
an Indian on a thong. Isn’t it? Not the original one? Not the cuz I used to help Indian heads. But I don’t know

Bob Smith 19:15
Bob why the first one was misnamed. When in 1859 The Minson graver James Longacre modeled a bust of liberty, wearing a feather bonnet for the one cent piece and from the beginning people mistook the Liberty head for an Indian Head. And that’s how the misnamed Indian Head Penny was

Marcia Smith 19:32
born. But then they made pennies eventually they did. But originally they did. That was misnamed. I’ll be darned. Who knew?

Bob Smith 19:39
I know. That’s why I asked the question.

Marcia Smith 19:43
Okay, Bob. What in where is the longest continuing archaeological excavation? Oh,

Bob Smith 19:50
is that Pompeii? Yeah, yes, because that was first discovered in the 1830s. The

Marcia Smith 19:57
excavation began in 17. Tene 63 Wow, it’s been that long, the Roman city of Pompeii. It’s located south of Naples in Italy. And it was buried under volcanic ash and pumice when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79. Ce II. And so in 1748, a full scale excavation began under Spain’s King Charles the third under Spain. Yeah, interesting. Pompeii was formally identified in 1763. And work on the site continues to this day. They’re still finding history there every 100

Bob Smith 20:34
some odd years almost. Yeah, amazing. Yeah. Okay.

Marcia Smith 20:38
What was the original purpose of the Rubik’s Cube?

Bob Smith 20:43
I think a Russian guy invented that. I thought it was just supposed to be a toy. Wasn’t it just a toy? Or was it meant to be something else?

Marcia Smith 20:50
It was meant to be something else. What was it meant to be Mars in 1980 Rubik’s Cube became a worldwide craze. But its Hungarian inventor Professor Ono Rubik had created the cube as a math aid for students so really use it as a tool, a teaching tool, but after realizing the cubes potential as a toy, he noticed the kids playing with it a lot. He sold 2 million in Hungary alone. Wow. Before introducing it to the west, making him the communist world’s first self made millionaire.

Bob Smith 21:27
self made millionaire in the communist world. Yep.

Marcia Smith 21:29
And the Rubik’s Cube in case you’re wondering, are we’re counting them has more than 43 quintillion configurations.

Bob Smith 21:38
Really? Yeah. That many possibilities. Yeah, no wonder was a good tool for teaching math.

Marcia Smith 21:43
Yeah, I saw a picture the other day. There’s this like Rubik’s Cube club or something. And they all solve it within. You know, so many seconds.

Bob Smith 21:52
I hate those kids.

Marcia Smith 21:54
You were one of those?

Bob Smith 21:55
I wasn’t I know, I was not one of those kids. Okay, the nerdy math or science kids. I was not one of those. I was more of a liberal arts type. I was a nerdy annoying liberal arts. And still

Marcia Smith 22:05
a kid who knows. Six years. Yeah, you still are honey. Okay. Well, go ahead.

Bob Smith 22:10
Okay. Well, thank you. Okay, marsh and a sports question from the Sports Authority. Bob Smith. All right, in golf. Where did the term caddy come from?

Marcia Smith 22:22
Well, I don’t know. Where they’re were their spouses on the side talking bad about their competitors. Oh,

Bob Smith 22:30
you can? Yeah, no, it’s actually goes from cadet. Okay. The term cadet? Yeah. Because when Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl Louie the King of France learned that she loved the Scots game of golf. So we had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment, and to make sure she was properly chaperoned and guarded. While she played he hired cadets from a military school to accompany Oh,

Marcia Smith 22:53
really? She liked that a lot. And was the girl had the first caddy?

Bob Smith 22:57
Yeah, so when she returned to Scotland, she took the practice with her and in French, the word Cadet is pronounced cafe. Uh huh. And the Scots changed it to caddy. So that’s where it comes from. That is so cool. That is very cool. Okay, does

Marcia Smith 23:10
Planet Earth Bob have any land not owned by some country? Yes,

Bob Smith 23:16
I think Antarctica is not owned and sorted, the South Pole and the North Pole. Neither one are owned by a country. Am I right?

Marcia Smith 23:23
That’s right. But nobody owns Antarctica, in 1957 12 countries signed an agreement guarantee that the continent would not be exploited for militarization or exploitation. That’s where the South Pole is. Right? That’s the Antarctica,

Bob Smith 23:40
it was considered kind of worthless for a long time before they realized there are apparently it’s pretty rich in resources below. But it was always so difficult to get to. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 23:50
As for the Arctic, it’s an ocean covered by a thin layer of ice and surrounded by land,

Bob Smith 23:56
so there’s no way you can can please claim the claim the ice, okay. All right. Good. That’s good. That’s, that’s a good explanation. All right. I’ve got two more things that occurred in 1971 50 years ago. Okay. I like those. A chip was introduced in 1971. That changed modern life. What was it microchip? That’s exactly right. It was the microchip, the Intel 4004 chip. It was the first microprocessor which is essentially a computer on a chip. Now, the Intel 4004 had 2300 transistors on one chip. How about today? How many was it then there was 2300 transistors on a little chip 10 times that today’s chips have more than 100 million transistors per square millimeter. That’s how can you do that? It’s basically photographic reproduction, reducing things down in size and then engraving it 100 million transistors per square millimeter. And that allows us to carry devices in our pockets, of course that have processing power by orders of magnitude more than the Apollo rockets and the chips that went up. Okay, but that was the first device they could run Steve instructions and act as the brains of a general purpose computer and it launched our computer age. In 1971. More Americans instantly got a say in the way their country was one. What happened 50 years ago this year that changed the way our country was run. What legislation was passed? Gosh, it’s one of the amendments. The 26th amendment ringabel.

Marcia Smith 25:26
It should I don’t know, the 26 minutes the

Bob Smith 25:29
amendment that lowered Oh, how soon you forget? Yeah. This was when you were young, too. It lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. Was that in 7119 7150 years ago and people today certainly, people our children’s generation wouldn’t realize this. But when we were growing up, you could be drafted into the military fight and die for your country. But you couldn’t vote for the leaders who sent you there. Yeah, I

Marcia Smith 25:52
forgot that completely.

Bob Smith 25:54
I was in a movement called the love luv. Let us vote and a friend of mine can check. Yep, Kent Jackman and I went to high schools and gave talks, urging our teenage associates to contact their congressman in urge passage of this. So in the words of writer Daniel Case, 1971 was the perfect storm of innovation, experimentation, optimism and growth. So many things happened 50 years ago.

Marcia Smith 26:18
Okay. I’ll finish up with that. Two quotes that I like, okay. Okay. Unity without truth is no better than conspiracy. Oh, that’s a good one. Isn’t that that’s appropriate. It is because you read that again, Unity without truth is no better than conspiracy. Yeah. That was John Trapp from the 1600s. He was a religious commentator of his time and what he said that holds true today for religion and politics. And I’ll finish up with Harry Potter. Okay. All right. And JK Rowling. We are only as strong as we are united. as weak as we are divided. And hopefully our Harry Potter kids out there, got that message and we’ll carry on in a better fashion. Perfect.

Bob Smith 27:03
That’s great. Thank you. All right, Marsha. Marsha, you came up with a new term over the holidays that for anybody who listens to our show and might like it, you’re a rapper, a rapper. So to all you rappers out there who may be listening. Thank you for being in our audience today. I Bob Smith,

Marcia Smith 27:23
I can I get T shirts made now?

Bob Smith 27:26
I’m Bob Smith.

Marcia Smith 27:27
I’m Marcia Smith. Join us again

Bob Smith 27:29
next time for the off ramp.

The off ramp is produced in association with CPL radio and the Cedarburg Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
