And as I gaze out of my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, it's been a couple of days. Sorry about that. It's not like me now, is it? But it's beautiful out. We got a little break in the weather today. I woke up it was cloudy. Clouds are still out there, sun's trying to peek through, but it is substantially cooler. It's a gorgeous day and I am wishing you a very happy Tuesday.

Speaker 1:

All right, by the way, I'm the host of the Pat Wall Show, my radio show heard on KFPK Radio in Sacramento. We are on 93.1 FM 1530 AM and streaming live everywhere on the free iHeart app, just like this podcast, on all of your streaming platforms. It's been a couple of days just because sometimes life gets in the way. We had to do a couple of tweaks with the studio here. Make sure that everything is getting ready to well. To be honest with you, I'm getting ready to do some video, so I needed a couple of days to start to get things in order in terms of setting up a little studio, because I'm going to venture. Even I've been hesitating, I've been putting it off for a long time, but, okay, I'm going to do that. So I'll be telling you when that's going to happen. But suffice it to say I am so happy to be back Because I hate missing my podcast. I don't like missing my show, I don't like missing my podcast. And, by the way, please, well, we're already at September 9th, so through September 30th, so many of you, thank you.

Speaker 1:

Over the weekend I got photos from so many of you going to Rock and Soul Diner in Sacramento on 10th Street Rock, roc and Soul SOL Diner. Because, again, through Pat's Peeps and this is just one of our businesses I'm going to keep reminding you. You know why? Because part of the reason, as we always say, support local, we're inflation busters, we're getting you free food, two for one entrees. I just saw, I'll just say, patty and Eileen Sit in the picture. One of them had a beautiful platter of fish, the other with prime rib. I think it was two-for-one. You can't beat that. And, guys, you will be doing them a favor, you a favor and my business a favor. Okay, I just like to remind you that, because then people will believe in us and then they will want me to promote them as well. So there, you go.

Speaker 1:

Or you can go to patspeepscom. We do. I don't know what's up with the store, the merch store. It's still there. It's not how I wanted. I don't know why it's taken so long. My guy know why it's taken so long. My guy that does the printing uh, he's a great guy, but I think he's inundated. But anyhow that it is there. So check it out, if you would check it out, because we have really cool pats peeps. By the way, we're designing a baseball jersey that is dynamite man. I just think I can't wait to show it to you.

Speaker 1:

Am I hearing a little peep in the background? Do you hear that? What is that? Do you hear that? It was like every time I spoke I could hear the bird. Maybe the bird's talking to us Anyhow, maybe the bird liked the two-for-one deal. You know what I'm doing right now. One deal. You know what I'm doing right now.

Speaker 1:

I am organizing. It seems like I've been organizing forever, for years, and as I look around my home, well, I see the result of that. I see the results, but you know I'm digging deeper. I don't know about you. There are certain things that I put them off. I'll put them off and then they'll sit there and they'll eat at me Like Pat, you know you got to do that, you got to do that. You got to do that, whether it's going through my mail, whether it's just organizing right now, working on my upper room. It is a tough task up there. So thank you to John and Sierra. Hi, sierra, thank you for listening. John, you too.

Speaker 1:

With their help tomorrow, well, I'll be able to make some headway in this process. I need to be able to carry some stuff down. So John's going to help me. So that's what I'm doing, but what it does because I'm going to my bathroom stuff down. So John's going to help me. So that's what I'm doing, but what it does because I'm going to my bathroom stuff. I got all this stuff. It's everywhere in my house, so I've been doing that. I want to have it done. I want to more than anything. Quite honestly, not only do I want to organize, because at some point everything that I need to organize is going to be organized, and then I'm going to feel very good, but it's going to be clearing the palate in terms of my mind, my conscious consciousness, the thought that I have these things that I'm putting off, I'm procrastinating on, and you know what I no longer am. It's done, it's not eating away at me and I think that's good for your health. It's certainly going to be good for my easing my mind. So I thought I would like dedicate, and I'll do that. Sometimes I'll just get into this mode and I'm doing it because it's cooler outside, so I can go up and down my stairs 200 times in a day without overheating stairs 200 times in a day without overheating. So my house is in complete and utter disarray, but in short order, after tomorrow it's going to look just awesome, absolutely awesome.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of absolutely awesome, friday morning on the Pat's Peeps podcast, I am so happy and proud to announce we will have the legendary Herb Alpert that's right, you heard me right, herb Alpert on my show, on my podcast. He has agreed to come on. This is the second time I've had him on my show and he remembered that. And this was five years ago. Give or take a couple, maybe a year, I think it was five years, but anyhow, prior to COVID, that's right. So now here we are and he's coming to Sacramento. You know what they're doing? They're doing the Tijuana Brass. How cool is that? His beautiful wife, lani, from Brazil, 66, tours with him and it's going to be Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. We're talking about one of the most powerful men in the music business and he the founder of A&M Records. You know he discovered the Carpenters. I enjoyed hearing his music as a kid On the radio.

Speaker 1:

So this song here, I'm pretty sure it's this one. I grew up with this stuff. Be in the backseat of the station wagon 72 Country Squire Could have been a 68 Falcon Station wagon. So I make this sound in my life. You're going like what you make this sound in your life. Yes, I do. It goes like this. You know I'll make you a little joke. I don't even know what that is, but I'm pretty sure this is the song. I could be wrong. When I was a kid I'd hear this song and also the Laugh-In, if anyone remembers Laugh-In on TV, which was a great show, very progressive, and they'd have this thing and they'd go. A great show, very progressive, and they'd have this thing and they'd go da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and that became like a punchline of my life and I think this song has it in there too, which influenced me. Doesn't that sound like a game show theme?

Speaker 1:

There it is Ha-ha, there, it is, there it is. Ha ha, there, it is, there it is. It's like the out of tune horn thing. I freaking love that. Maybe it is in tune. I like to do it out of tune. I think it does the. I think it does it at the end of the right, at the like the very end of the song, if I'm not mistaken. Let's take a listen. I love it. Does it at the end of the right, at the like the very end of the song, if I'm not mistaken. Let's take a listen. I love it. It is so old school. You know your ma driving down with the station wagon. She's got that beehive hairdo. You kids shut up back there. If I have to tell you again, I'm going to get a switch. She'd tell me to go get a switch when we were at home. I'd go grab a log, like a short log. There it is. I love that.

Speaker 1:

Herb Alpert coming to the Safe Credit Union Arts Center November 13th Hope he doesn't mind me playing this because he's a very powerful man. So listen, here we go, can you believe I don't know what that. I don't know what that says about me, but that straight up influenced me. You ask anyone, I know I'll divulge something to you. Like Darlene with a Y, who is just a sweetheart Hi Darlene, she is a sweetie, goes out of her way to do anything for her friends. She's certainly done that to me, so I just try to. You know, she's always bringing everyone joy in the morning on Facebook, a little positive post. So I will get up in the morning quite often and sing her a little song and then send it to her phone and whatever little song it is, I'll end it with that. That, just that odd little sound became a part of my life. Thank you, herb Alpert Again one of the founders of A&M Records, which we'll talk to him about that Discovered so many great artists coming to Sacramento at the Safe Credit Union Arts Center. I believe that is. I think that's the 13th. Anyhow, we'll talk to him on Friday. I'm super, super excited about that.

Speaker 1:

You know when I was out, what is this? Hold on a second. Oh, I'm bleeding. I don't even know what I did. Isn't that awesome? I don't know. When you get older, like when you're, I better wipe that off real quick. You know, when you, that just kind of startled me. It's on my arm there. So I you know, when you're a kid, if something happens, do you bleed.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, I'm bleeding. Oh God, oh my God, Help me, I'm bleeding.

Speaker 1:

You know it's the end of the world. Remember your mom would put Mercurochrome on there. Think about that. Does anyone remember that? That red stuff? Hey, come over here. Are you bleeding again? Come here, let me put some mercury on that. Come, jimmy Junior. No, mom, I don't want mercury. Come here. Nothing's better for your even feel it Like I'm sorry. Did I jam something into myself Because I didn't even notice? Let me look. Oh yeah, oh, that's blood. I just noticed it. Yeah, well, what'd you do? I don't know. I just was living. I did something. Who knows I just now I'm bleeding now. So that's a phenomenon. When I was, I was about to say when I went out there. That must have been when it happened.

Speaker 1:

I'll always catch like deer sleeping in my garden. You know my little garden out in front. I wonder about this. As soon as you open the door, man in my little garden out in front, I wonder about this as soon as you open the door, man in my neck of the woods, the deer are like damn, there's a dude coming out. It's like those little cartoons. Remember those sound effects when the cartoon character is running, you can just hear them and they sprint man.

Speaker 1:

But then I'll see a friend in some other part of the state or wherever. Like, I got a friend, steve. Steve Wilson, if you're out there. I don't know where he lives in California, but he'll be out there playing like the mandolin or a banjo. Maybe they like mandolins and banjos. I mean, he's a bluegrass guy, my, my buddy Steve. I haven't seen him for a while but I need to ask him that I see him on Facebook. He's got these posts. He's like when come the deer? Deer just moseying up, what the heck? Or I've seen people feeding them, but not in my neck of the woods. I don't know what they're up to, man, but they're like hey damn, is that a human? I'm out of here, bob. They are not sticking around man. There is no trust for humans up here with these deer. I was looking into this. I'm like like, well, why is that? I mean, what would cause that? I have some documents. I did some research here for Pats Peeps 327. So there you go, let's see. I'm always doing my research. Here's what it says.

Speaker 1:

According to the deer experts, deer exhibit varying degrees of weariness around humans. This is due to a combination of learned behavior Dang I'm bleeding all over my deer paper. Learned behavior, individual personality, their environment. Some deer, particularly those accustomed to human presence in areas like parks or suburbs. They may appear friendly or curious. I've never seen a deer that appeared friendly. I don't know where they are and I've seen a lot of deer. They never appear friendly, they always appear frightened. Maybe it's just me, maybe they look at me like dang that dude is ugly and he doesn't look trustworthy. Others, especially in more remote areas, like where I live in my mystery hut up in the woods, or those with negative past experiences with humans, will instinctively flee at the first sign of a potential threat. I don't think there's mean people up here in the foothills, I don't know. But again, Maybe there's people shooting at them. You know, I don't really see a lot of deer wandering around Sacramento. Maybe I missed them, but they do wander around up here. They're going to give us a more detailed explanation here for the Pat's Peeps 327.

Speaker 1:

Deer that frequently encounter humans without negative consequences can become habituated, meaning that they learn to perceive humans as non-threatening. That's in the Okay. Then the suburban deer living. They're living the suburban life. Deer living in the suburban areas often become accustomed to human presence and may even approach people for food, just out of curiosity. Has that ever happened to you? Has a deer walked up to you and come right up to you? How come? Not me Farmed or hand rearing? They say Deer that have been raised by humans or have regular interaction with them are more likely to be tolerant of human presence. Okay, not here. Personality just like humans, they're more individual personalities than deer, do Not the ones I've seen. They all have the same personality 40-yard dash. Some deer may be naturally more curious or bolder than others. Past experiences, previous interactions with humans can significantly influence their behavior, like negative experiences, being chased, being hunted. You know, okay, the deer do get hunted up here.

Speaker 1:

Well, I don't know, I don't know right around here, I don't hear any shotguns or any rifles going off, but so many other, more fearful apparently, and prone to running the absence of predators. A deer living in the air, you get the idea. Predator perception they have an. Oh, so here's this. Is it so in their habitat? This is interesting. Deer in more remote wild areas are more likely to perceive humans as a potential threat and will flee at the slightest sign of danger. They have an innate flight or fight response. Fight or flight response. Their initial reaction to humans is often to assess them as a potential threat. So, in essence, the deer's behavior towards humans is a complex interplay of learned behavior, individual personality, environmental factors Of learned behavior, individual personality, environmental factors. This particular person called the radio station. It's a classic, this is a classic Going back a ways Radio caller. This is Donna speaking to deers. She wants those deer crossing signs removed.

Speaker 7:

Mission is all that's going on there Now. Donna, you got quite the vent today. It sounds like what's going on with you.

Speaker 4:

Well, I wanted to voice my opinion on something that's been bothering me for a really long time.

Speaker 7:

Okay.

Speaker 4:

I tried writing the newspaper and contacting TV stations, but nobody seems to want to hang with this, so that's why I'm calling you guys.

Speaker 7:

What's the issue?

Speaker 4:

Over the past few years, I've been involved in three separate car accidents involving deer, you know, with the population and everything. Each of these incidents they've occurred shortly after I saw a deer crossing sign on the highway. After I saw a deer crossing sign on the highway. Well, my frustration is that Minnesota and North Dakota Departments of Transportation would allow these deer crossings to be in such high-traffic areas. I mean, I've even seen them on the interstate.

Speaker 4:

Why are we encouraging deer to cross at the interstate. I don't get it. That's such a high-traffic area. Why are we encouraging deer to?

Speaker 7:

cross at the interstate. I don't get it.

Speaker 4:

That's such a high traffic area. I mean, I understand that deer are wild animals and they need to travel across the streets occasionally to survive and, of course, to find food, but it seems to me that it's so irresponsible of us to allow these deer crossings to be in areas where these deer are so likely to be struck by oncoming traffic. I mean, wouldn't you agree?

Speaker 4:

I mean it's just, I mean you'd think they would put deer crossings maybe you know, in, you know smaller towns, maybe during a, at a, at a school crossing that's, it would be a safer place for them to cross with the deer crossing sign you know deer crossings aren't telling deer that it's safe to cross there, it's just more of like an alert for drivers.

Speaker 4:

So they know it's like a high deer population the government put the deer crossings there, they can direct the deer population anywhere they want to by moving that deer crossing sign. I mean you know why in the world would they place it on the highway or the interstate? You know, I mean, god, there are so many other places I can think of and put the deer crossing signs on busy highways and interstates.

Speaker 7:

You seem to be under the misunderstanding that the deer are somehow attracted to the deer crossing sign.

Speaker 4:

Well, yeah, the deer crossing sign is there to allow the deer to know that's where they need to cross.

Speaker 7:

Right and all these car accidents you had involved a deer after you saw a deer crossing sign.

Speaker 4:

Exactly. I mean I'm trying to watch out for the deer, but I mean you know speed limit's 55, 65. How am I supposed to? You know you can't brake really quick if you know the deer is crossing in that deer crossing area. So you'd like to see these signs move somewhere safer? Right, yeah, we can move them. Like, don't put deer crossing signs on the interstate or freeways, you know, put them in lower traffic areas, you know somewhere where the speed limit's you know a lot slower. You know, maybe small towns, I don't know. I think school crossings is a good idea.

Speaker 7:

Well, listen, we will. I mean, you say you've tried to contact quite a few people about this.

Speaker 4:

Right, yeah, I wrote like at least three or four letters and we will spread the word, okay.

Speaker 7:

We will try to kind of help you raise some awareness for this issue, okay.

Speaker 4:

Oh, thank you, we need to move those deer crossing signs.

Speaker 7:

We appreciate your comment this morning.

Speaker 4:

All right thanks.

Speaker 3:

Bye hey.

Speaker 2:

Joe.

Speaker 3:

Where are you?

Speaker 2:

If you can't hear me, just say something. Where the heck am I?

Speaker 3:

Oh, I remember now I wake up in the woodshed with two thousand empty beers. I came looking for a full one and I must have passed out here. I crawl out through the door and I run smack into a buck. He was eating all the apples from the back of Rudy's truck. I grab him by the back legs and he drags me through the snow, but when he jumps a barbed wire fence I have to let him go. We haven't had a shave or bath since 14 days ago.

Speaker 5:

The empty pile is growing and nobody got a tear.

Speaker 3:

But there's only 50 weeks to go and we'll be back on here.

Speaker 8:

This is the ambulance emergency line. Do you have an emergency? I need a ambulance. Who is this? A Joe? Okay, where do you need us? I'm in a Muffin phone booth, okay. So where do you need us? I'm in the motherfucking phone booth, okay. What's the address there? Hold on, okay. Sir, did you call 3911? Uh, no, okay, joe, I needed a location. What street are you on? Uh, I'm in the motherfucking phone booth at the stop and go. Yeah, I'm at the, that's it. I'm at the motherfucking stop and go. I meant to, that's it. I meant to motherfucking stop and go. Hold on, wait a minute. What's the motherfucking script? Huffsmith Corville and something. The motherfucking stop and go. Huffsmith Corville. And what? Hold on, yo, uh-huh, let me see Coffee, coffee, coffee. There you go, there you go. I'm in the motherfucking phone booth.

Speaker 8:

Let me tell you what. I'm going down the motherfucking road, driving my car, minding my own goddamn business, and a motherfucking deer jumped out and hit my car. Okay, sir, are you injured? Now let me tell you. I get out and pick the motherfucking deer up. I thought he's dead. I put the motherfucking deer in my back seat and I'm driving down the motherfucking road and minding my own business.

Speaker 8:

The motherfucking woke up and bit me in the back of my goddamn neck. They bit me and then kicked the shit out of my car. I'm in the motherfucking woke up and bit me in the back of my goddamn neck. He bit me and he done kicked the shit out of my car. I'm in the motherfucking phone booth. The deer bit me in the neck. A big motherfucking dog came up and bit me in the leg. I hit him with the motherfucking tire iron and I stabbed him. I stabbed him with my knife so I got a hurt leg and the motherfucking deer bit me in the neck and the dog wanted me out of my fucking phone booth because he wants the deer. Now, who gets the deer, me or the dog? Okay, sir, are you injured? Yeah, my fucking deer bit me in the neck. Hold on, the motherfucking dog is biting me. Hold on, god damn it, get out of here. Hold on, the motherfucking dog is laying there. Hold on.

Speaker 1:

Meanwhile, Chris Collins angering the NFL fans with his controversial comments. Pat's peeps 327. My brother cannot stand listening to Chris Collinsworth. You know there are certain announcers that you just cannot listen to for whatever reason, or you just don't like, but you're watching the game and that's the announcer. So there you go. It's either that or don't listen to anything, which is sometimes I find a better option. I'm not going to say who Well, maybe I will, I don't know. John Sterling, Excuse me, but anyhow, Chris Collinsworth angering NFL fans with a comment this past Sunday on Sunday Night Football in the first week. The former NFL wide receiver was on the call of the Sunday Night Football game between the Bills and the Ravens. Bills, led by the MVP quarterback Josh Allen, came from 15 down in the fourth quarter and beat the Ravens and Lamar Jackson and it was a great game. Collinsworth was on the call there with Mike Tirico Chris, who has been the voice of the NBC Sunday Night Football coverage since 2009. But Collinsworth taking heat for what he said about 0-9. But Collinsworth taking heat for what he said about the Lamar Jackson versus Buffalo Bills fan incident.

Speaker 1:

Sunday night, Third quarter. Jackson threw a touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins, which was an incredible catch, oh my God. So they're celebrating and they're near the front row. They're at the Bills Stadium at Highmark and you got a Bills fan. He's wearing one of those red Bills jerseys. He just smacks DeAndre Hopkins on his helmet and really smacks Lamar on the helmet. Lamar then responded by shoving the Bills fan. What so? Then you have Collinsworth, NBC's lead analyst, criticizing Jackson and the Bills fan, saying both were in the wrong. Well, NFL fans were not happy about that. This should be the audio right now.

Speaker 6:

Over by the fans. Fan hits him up on the head and then hits Lamar Jackson and after that fan who wasn't celebrating at all hit him. Jackson pushes the fan back. Well, that's just Mike Tirica right there. He didn't really say we wasn't celebrating at all.

Speaker 1:

hit him, jackson pushes the fan back. Well, that's just Mike Tirico right there. He didn't really say, we didn't really hear the comment. Let me see if we got it here.

Speaker 6:

Fan hits him up on the head and then hits Lamar Jackson and after that, fan who wasn't celebrating at all.

Speaker 1:

Hmm, anyhow, I thought we might be able to hear Chris's comments right there. Nonetheless, mike Tirico and Collinsworth are crazy. How is Lamar Jackson shoving a fan who shoved him first? Both are wrong situation. Buying a ticket to a game doesn't give you the right to put your hands on the players, and players have the right to defend themselves. That's according to one fan, which I happen to agree with. You do have to be professional. You really can't lay your hands on fans, but what are you supposed to put up with when you're basically assaulted? Well, he was wearing a helmet, so what you know. These guys are celebrating. It is not up to you to smack this guy the way you did, and basically it was very aggressive. Let's not pretend that it wasn't. Here's one fan saying if you ever needed a reason to hate that, bozo, bozo, chris Collinsworth. He's trying to excuse that. He's trying to excuse that. He's trying to excuse that Bills fan that assaulted Hopkins and Lamar. Here's another fan, chris Collinsworth, really saying Lamar was in the wrong after that fan touched him first. Get this man off my TV.

Speaker 1:

Bruh Jackson, by the way to his credit, owned up to it Said you know what? He needs to be a little bit more under control, moving forward. He says he slapped me and he was talking so I just forgot where I was for a little bit. That's what he said post-game Lamar, did you have to think in those situations? You have security out there, let security handle it. But I just let my emotions get the best of me.

Speaker 1:

I got to say something about Lamar Jackson. He says hopefully it doesn't happen again. I learned from that. He's a good guy, he's a good football player, but I have never seen any reason to doubt that he was anything but a good guy and I appreciate his response. He doesn't seem to say things that are just anything but a good guy and I think he's and I appreciate his response. You know he doesn't seem to say things that are just written on a card. He kind of spoke from the heart there. The fan was completely out of line In this case. I really honestly I don't hold it against Lamar Jackson at all. Not at all, not one bit. How about the lady still taking the heat for taking the baseball from that guy who gave it to his kid?

Speaker 5:

She was born with a complaint form in her hand. She's been divorced more times than she's been married. She doesn't leave tips, she leaves suggestions. She steals baseballs from 10-year-old kids and then complains about how spoiled kids are these days. She is raising her kids to be Reddit moderators one day.

Speaker 5:

Her voice hasn't dropped below 85 decibels her entire life. She once won an argument with a manager at a restaurant she wasn't even eating at. She calls the cops on kids' lemonade stands for not having a permit. She actually changed her name to Karen. She asks to speak to the manager before the store is even built. She gets the same haircut every week and still complains to the manager about it every time. She wears a mask in her car alone. Her Yorkshire Terrier dog has the same Karen haircut as her. She once asked to speak to the pilot mid-flight. She once called the fire department because her neighbors were having a cookout. When she walks into a store, the staff call the manager right away, without her ever saying anything. She gets in fights about spots, stealing for street parking on streets she doesn't even live on. She is the most Karen woman in the world.

Speaker 4:

I don't always drink, but when I do, I become everyone's problem. Stay outraged, my friends.

Speaker 1:

Now that we've finished week one of the NFL 49er fans, they're going to be without their star tight end, george Kittle, for a bit. George is a good guy. He's going to have a great career after football, great personality. Yes, I'm a Ram fan, but you know that. But it doesn't matter here. I never like to see a guy get injured never. But now the Niners are going to be without him and he's a real, obviously a key part to what that team does, what Mike Shanahan does. He's going to be dealing with a hamstring injury. They can also be without their starting quarterback, brock Purdy, after week one. This weekend they're taking on the Saints. You know I have this desk. I'm going to lift up my desk. I love this. I have this desk.

Speaker 5:

that hold on.

Speaker 1:

I can move it up or down. I'm tired of sitting. I don't like to sit. Oh, this is a beautiful desk, so anyhow, oh, much better. So Purdy's got like a toe injury and a shoulder injury His non-throwing shoulder is injured and their coach, Kyle Shanahan, saying that Kittle will sit out a few weeks. It's a quote Because of the hammy. They did win, beat the Seahawks 17-13 in the opener and that announcement was expected was expected giving Kittle sat out most of the game there. The first game actually came out street close and these injuries are at least serious enough, according to the team, but that they don't know yet if Brock will be available Sunday in New Orleans. They're just saying they got to keep an eye on it, see how it goes. So there's a couple of sports stories from the day.

Speaker 1:

Passed away. Rick Davies. He was the co-founder. Such a talented guy co-founder, singer, keyboard player for Supertramp, Loved Supertramp Passed away just three days ago. He was 81. He had blood cancer and he was the voice and the pianist behind Supertramp's most iconic songs. They were formed in 1969. Boy Goodbye, Stranger. The logical song, Bloody Will Wright. I love songs like School. Oh, that's such a good song. They were formed in 69, became famous for their prog pop sound Hits like Give a Little Bit and the Logical Song for a period of time, just always on the radio.

Speaker 2:

When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees. They'd be singing so happily, oh joyfully, oh playfully, watching me. But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, oh responsible.
