Here's the totally unedited video version.

Hard to believe but the Bucks are galloping (hobbling?) into the sunset. After 225 shows, thousands of laughs and more than a few tears, Dave and Del are headed for new worlds to explore, new mountains to conquer, and new coffee shops.

It really has been a fun journey and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We've created our own little community of loyal listeners (that's you) and we've always appreciated your insights and opinions. As Del often said, "It's all about friendship." As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

Here are some of our most popular episodes if you're a new listener or even an old listener:

118: Bridey Thelen-Heidel

122: Phoenix, the Wounded Ukrainian Doctor

84:J udge Clarance Jones

151: Tahoe Toogie

213:Mahesh Patel

135:Frank Young

224: Craig Benjamin

So many episodes, so little time.

We couldn't patch this onto the end of our recording but it is worth as listen. It was written by Don Henley and Bruce Hornsby. Tell us what it means to you. It's called The End of the Innocence.

If you need a mellower song to drift away on, try Groovin'

Call a friend today. Better yet, hug a friend today.

Best from the Bucks.

Del panics over losing his phone and blames the heat. Is Del acting like a teenager or is it really the heat?

Del pays for another year's tuition for his dentist's child. But he looks mahvelous.

Dave nods the antlers to Rewen, Francis and Harriett, and Buck and Linda from the Baltic cruise. He also recommends seeing Joshua Jay, the magician performing on the ship. Here and here are videos of a couple of his routines.

Dave tours London and finds the people there extremely kind and helpful. He also determined he had Mal de Debarquement Syndrome from the cruise. It was not fun but it was only for a few days.

Dave recommends a dazzlingly good play he saw: Stereophonic. It's not about the music.

Shoutouts to old friends Michael and Rose, with whom we spent a wonderful afternoon and evening.

Here's a little more traveling music.

Speaking of Traveling

Next episode is Dr. Craig Benjamin, historian extraordinaire.
