It’s hard to believe we’re a couple of days from being half way through July. Make sure you take time for your family and plan a vacation if you’re able to. Even weekend getaways count! Before you know it summer will be gone and we’ll all be asking “Where did it go?”  We’ve got a good show today without all the accidents which was a nice change of pace.  As always, thanks for listening to the show everyone and be safe out there.

Still recovering from a fun three day weekend, I hope everyone had a nice Fourth of July Holiday. Back to the real world as today’s show has accidents galore to report on. From a four year old that fell down an elevator shaft to a child who lost his finger in the famous wooden Macys escalator in NY.  I’m not sure if it was a full moon last week or what. Also on the program today I’ll cover the calendar of events as it’s the first show of the month and we’ll get into some interesting website links. Have a great week everyone….only three more days!
