We will be off from The BradCast<\/i><\/a> and Green News Report<\/i><\/a> this week, for a much-needed, end-of-Summer break until after the Labor Day holiday.<\/p>\n

As always (and particularly now), we welcome anything you may be able to drop into our Tip Jar<\/b><\/a> to keep our Prius tank filled over the break and<\/i> to help put some much-needed air in our figurative tires as we head into the Fall.<\/p>\n

I have mentioned it once or twice on air, but I am hoping that The BRAD BLOG will finally be getting a long-overdue face-lift\/upgrade in the weeks (months?) ahead. I’ll have more to say about it when we’re closer to launch, but I’ve been working in the background for a while with a team of very smart and generous folks who have been helping me overcome some long-standing issues that have prevented me for years<\/i> from getting this done. In no small part, the changes are meant to make the site faster, more functional and, as important, finally friendlier on mobile devices!<\/p>\n

There are, of course, some costs associated with that effort, which is another reason I’m really hoping you’ll consider hitting our Tip Jar<\/b><\/a> over the next week. One-time donations are always appreciated, and new monthly subscriptions<\/i> of any amount you can afford, even more so! Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n

More later on all of that soon. I’ll probably be back for next week’s Sunday Toons…unless I find it necessary to take a brief break from that<\/i> as well. But, we’ll see. Thanks for understanding either way. Please stay safe (and cool!) out there until we return!… — Brad<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
