    Yes, I could remember quite well the song “If I have a Hammer”
    here in Spain it was very popular but there was also a bad
    translation of the song that said

    “Si Yo Tuviera una Escoba”
    cuantas cosas barreria………If I have a broom… how many things
    I would sweep….

    Interesting….thank you dear teachers.

    Hi

    I pledge guilty of falling asleep while listening to Podcast 1028.

    I am not saying that that was boring, it just is that this last week I have worked the early shift and I had just few ours for sleeping.

    That’s understandable. When you listen to hundreds of Podcasts,that might happen every once in awhile.

    I woke up grumpy though. For that I am blaming Jeff. I do not know, maybe something in his voice or some hidden message in the audio that you can only hear while sleeping.

    Thank you guys.

    It looks like the end of the world will begin from California.
    They have earthquakes, wildfires, water shortages.
    I wouldn’t be surprised to see zombies over there.
