(54 posts)3. Where is Beau--maybe taking a break? Or just mixing in some variety?
Beau always makes me feel calmer about the day's news events. He is the calm voice of reason. And provides some interesting perspectives.
This is my first time listening to Belle. Like the other commenter, I do enjoy her optimism, as well as her continuing Beau's tradition of a calming and well-reasoned perspective on the issue at hand.
Thank you both, Belle and Beau.

I am not sure where I would go to find the original posts from Beau et al, tho I expect the Goog knows.
