1
00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:09,039
Hey, everybody. I'm Connor. That's Doug, and this

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,439
is the Bethel School District Presents podcast, and

3
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:13,875
we have a fantastic show for you today.

4
00:00:14,035 --> 00:00:16,195
We do. Joining us today is our new

5
00:00:16,195 --> 00:00:19,554
nurse administrator, Angela Radonsky. Angela, this is the

6
00:00:19,554 --> 00:00:21,394
first time we've met in person, so we're

7
00:00:21,394 --> 00:00:22,914
gonna have a little get to know you

8
00:00:22,914 --> 00:00:24,594
quiz to get us started. And since you

9
00:00:24,594 --> 00:00:26,515
don't know Connor or I, we're gonna answer

10
00:00:26,515 --> 00:00:27,899
the questions as well. So are you ready

11
00:00:27,899 --> 00:00:30,539
for this, Connor? Yes. Let's go. Okay. Question

12
00:00:30,539 --> 00:00:32,219
1, and I will answer these first. We'll

13
00:00:32,219 --> 00:00:33,659
go to Connor, give you a chance to

14
00:00:33,659 --> 00:00:35,420
think, Angela, and then we'll come over to

15
00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:35,920
you.

16
00:00:36,299 --> 00:00:39,260
Number 1, what is your go to coffee

17
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:41,914
order? For me, it's a cappuccino. Every time.

18
00:00:42,314 --> 00:00:44,314
My order when it's cold out is an

19
00:00:44,314 --> 00:00:46,954
Americano, hot Americano. When it's hot out, it's

20
00:00:46,954 --> 00:00:49,034
an iced Americano. Wow. That makes me feel

21
00:00:49,034 --> 00:00:49,754
a little bit,

22
00:00:50,475 --> 00:00:53,114
high maintenance here because it depends on where

23
00:00:53,114 --> 00:00:55,195
I'm going and what the weather is and

24
00:00:55,195 --> 00:00:56,890
what time of day it is. But my

25
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,670
general coffee order in the morning

26
00:00:59,050 --> 00:01:01,950
would be a white chocolate caramel, sugar free,

27
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:05,209
fat free, and an extra shot. Oh, you're

28
00:01:05,209 --> 00:01:06,510
fancy. Sounds fantastic.

29
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:08,409
Now I sound like Yeah. I don't know,

30
00:01:08,409 --> 00:01:10,270
a little bougie. Very bougie.

31
00:01:11,209 --> 00:01:13,575
I love it. Question 2, what do you

32
00:01:13,575 --> 00:01:16,375
listen to on your daily commute to work?

33
00:01:16,375 --> 00:01:17,655
This year, I'm listening to a lot of

34
00:01:17,655 --> 00:01:19,974
podcasts. I have a personal finance podcast that

35
00:01:19,974 --> 00:01:22,054
I listen to, and I have a travel

36
00:01:22,054 --> 00:01:24,715
podcast, which I'll name drop Rick Steves Travel.

37
00:01:25,469 --> 00:01:27,549
Classic, and he's still putting out great content

38
00:01:27,549 --> 00:01:29,869
on podcasts. Yeah. Shout out Rick Steves. I

39
00:01:29,869 --> 00:01:31,489
have been listening to audiobooks.

40
00:01:31,869 --> 00:01:33,709
Love it. When my son is in the

41
00:01:33,709 --> 00:01:35,229
car on the way to drop him off

42
00:01:35,229 --> 00:01:37,229
at school or daycare, I listen to worship

43
00:01:37,229 --> 00:01:39,390
music because we gotta start the morning off

44
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:40,754
right. And then as soon as he gets

45
00:01:40,754 --> 00:01:43,234
dropped off, I am listening to podcasts, and

46
00:01:43,234 --> 00:01:46,055
it is crime junkie or anatomy of murder,

47
00:01:46,274 --> 00:01:48,515
which he can't listen to. You're getting the

48
00:01:48,515 --> 00:01:50,435
full spectrum of 1 Oh, really? Do I

49
00:01:50,435 --> 00:01:52,614
just flip straight from 1 to the other?

50
00:01:53,909 --> 00:01:55,750
That's awesome. What a start to the day.

51
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:57,909
Number 3, what is the last movie you

52
00:01:57,909 --> 00:02:01,030
watched or TV show that you binged? Now

53
00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:03,590
for me, when I just finished last night,

54
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:06,310
I texted you about Connor was there's something

55
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:09,485
in the barn and it is a Norwegian

56
00:02:10,185 --> 00:02:10,685
Christmas

57
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:11,564
horror

58
00:02:12,185 --> 00:02:12,685
comedy,

59
00:02:13,224 --> 00:02:15,305
the likes of which you've never seen. Yeah.

60
00:02:15,305 --> 00:02:18,745
I the screen grabs alone really intrigued and

61
00:02:18,745 --> 00:02:19,724
frightened me.

62
00:02:20,169 --> 00:02:21,289
So I'm gonna have to check that one

63
00:02:21,289 --> 00:02:23,449
out too. I recently watched for, like, the

64
00:02:23,449 --> 00:02:26,189
100th time David Fincher's Zodiac.

65
00:02:26,489 --> 00:02:28,669
Such a good movie. So scary. Elspeth.

66
00:02:28,969 --> 00:02:30,810
I watched all of the first season of

67
00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:32,865
Elspeth, and that was kind of quirky and

68
00:02:32,865 --> 00:02:34,224
fun. I don't know that one. Do you

69
00:02:34,224 --> 00:02:35,664
know that one? No. That's not one that's

70
00:02:35,664 --> 00:02:36,944
in my do you wanna give us a

71
00:02:36,944 --> 00:02:37,685
brief synopsis?

72
00:02:38,064 --> 00:02:40,224
It is about a lady who is an

73
00:02:40,224 --> 00:02:43,125
attorney, and she sent into a police

74
00:02:43,425 --> 00:02:43,925
environment

75
00:02:44,465 --> 00:02:46,465
to help them. But really what she's doing

76
00:02:46,465 --> 00:02:48,550
is watching to see where there's corruption.

77
00:02:49,090 --> 00:02:51,290
And she's kind of quirky and funny and

78
00:02:51,569 --> 00:02:53,729
but it's fun. I love it. We definitely

79
00:02:53,729 --> 00:02:55,250
have a true crime thing going on in

80
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:55,990
this episode.

81
00:02:56,930 --> 00:02:59,990
Alright. Next question. Do you have any hobbies?

82
00:03:00,129 --> 00:03:02,050
And I'm gonna go with bird watching. I

83
00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:04,444
started bird watching back in 20 12.

84
00:03:04,905 --> 00:03:07,385
This morning, I saw a Bewick's Wren on

85
00:03:07,385 --> 00:03:09,784
my morning walk with pancake, the wonder dog.

86
00:03:09,784 --> 00:03:11,705
Have you seen the big year? I have

87
00:03:11,705 --> 00:03:13,085
Jack Black, Steve Martin,

88
00:03:13,784 --> 00:03:16,344
and Owen Wilson. Yes. Yes. I've seen that

89
00:03:16,344 --> 00:03:18,025
a couple of times. That's actually one of

90
00:03:18,025 --> 00:03:19,705
the movies that got me into birding in

91
00:03:19,705 --> 00:03:19,919
the

92
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:21,984
first place. So shout out to The Big

93
00:03:21,984 --> 00:03:22,580
Ear. I was wondering.

94
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:25,280
I'm going to choose I have so many.

95
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,259
I'm gonna choose

96
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,620
chicken farming.

97
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,520
Chicken. Wow. Yeah. So we live in the

98
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,199
city limits of Tacoma, so you have to

99
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:35,125
be very cautious and know what the laws

100
00:03:35,125 --> 00:03:38,084
are. Yeah. But you can actually have chickens

101
00:03:38,084 --> 00:03:40,245
while you live within the city limits of

102
00:03:40,245 --> 00:03:42,824
Tacoma. So I have chickens and one duck

103
00:03:42,884 --> 00:03:44,264
who thinks it's a chicken.

104
00:03:44,805 --> 00:03:45,544
And so

105
00:03:46,324 --> 00:03:48,245
but yeah. So we have chickens, and I

106
00:03:48,245 --> 00:03:51,009
find them very calming and enjoyable. And do

107
00:03:51,009 --> 00:03:52,769
all your friends ask for free eggs all

108
00:03:52,769 --> 00:03:55,889
the time? Actually, they don't. They don't. Oh.

109
00:03:55,889 --> 00:03:58,129
Which is interesting because I have between 1

110
00:03:58,129 --> 00:04:01,090
6 eggs every single day. Oh, wow. But

111
00:04:01,090 --> 00:04:03,075
I do bring them into coworkers sometimes. Sometimes.

112
00:04:03,075 --> 00:04:04,915
Oh, that's nice. It's like, hey. Thanks for

113
00:04:04,915 --> 00:04:07,014
doing me a solid. Here's a dozen eggs.

114
00:04:07,474 --> 00:04:09,075
Nothing wrong with that. I need to do

115
00:04:09,075 --> 00:04:10,534
you a favor sometimes. Alright.

116
00:04:11,715 --> 00:04:13,955
So, Angela, we've gone through those questions. I

117
00:04:13,955 --> 00:04:15,314
feel like we know you a whole lot

118
00:04:15,314 --> 00:04:17,470
better now. But since we haven't met before

119
00:04:17,470 --> 00:04:19,310
and since we didn't bother to ask you

120
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:20,990
ahead of time, we found what we can

121
00:04:20,990 --> 00:04:22,769
only assume is your LinkedIn profile.

122
00:04:23,229 --> 00:04:24,829
If this is you, you have a pretty

123
00:04:24,829 --> 00:04:28,189
impressive nursing history, including teaching other nurses at

124
00:04:28,189 --> 00:04:30,110
Bates and working as an RN at Franklin

125
00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:33,314
Pierce School District and MultiCare. So first, is

126
00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:34,294
any of that true?

127
00:04:34,754 --> 00:04:37,014
And if so, I guess either way,

128
00:04:37,394 --> 00:04:39,475
what got you into nursing in the first

129
00:04:39,475 --> 00:04:42,115
place? No. It's all lies. Yes. All of

130
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:43,014
it is true.

131
00:04:43,875 --> 00:04:45,814
I do have a pretty lengthy experience,

132
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,759
in health care in general. I would say

133
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:49,500
the thing that

134
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,300
brought me to nursing was actually an accident.

135
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,340
I had young children. I needed a job.

136
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:57,400
At the time, one of my sister in

137
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,920
laws reached out to me. She said, hey.

138
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,964
There's this extended care facility that's hiring. You

139
00:05:01,964 --> 00:05:03,805
don't have to have any experience. This is

140
00:05:03,805 --> 00:05:05,324
what you're doing. I'm like, that sounds like

141
00:05:05,324 --> 00:05:07,345
taking care of children. I can do that.

142
00:05:07,485 --> 00:05:09,964
I went and applied, got the job. She

143
00:05:09,964 --> 00:05:12,285
left. She decided she didn't like the job.

144
00:05:12,285 --> 00:05:14,939
I stayed, loved it. Then one of her

145
00:05:14,939 --> 00:05:16,779
other sisters decided she wanted to go to

146
00:05:16,779 --> 00:05:18,300
nursing school, asked me if I'd join her.

147
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:19,579
I was like, yeah. That sounds like a

148
00:05:19,579 --> 00:05:21,199
great idea. I love what I'm doing.

149
00:05:21,899 --> 00:05:22,399
So

150
00:05:23,019 --> 00:05:23,759
I went,

151
00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:26,779
and I love it. And I've I've just

152
00:05:26,779 --> 00:05:28,535
never looked back. I love taking care of

153
00:05:28,535 --> 00:05:30,875
other people's needs when they're vulnerable

154
00:05:31,495 --> 00:05:34,074
and being able to make a difference. Absolutely.

155
00:05:34,294 --> 00:05:35,735
Yeah. That's a good reason to wanna be

156
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:38,134
a nurse. Yeah. So what specifically then got

157
00:05:38,134 --> 00:05:39,435
you into working at schools?

158
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:41,339
Well, I think like so many other people,

159
00:05:41,339 --> 00:05:42,860
one of the things that got me into

160
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:45,019
working at schools is really looking for something

161
00:05:45,019 --> 00:05:47,180
that was going to be family friendly. I

162
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:47,680
was

163
00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:49,660
fostering at the time, so we had 6

164
00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:51,180
children in the house. They were ages 4

165
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:51,795
and under,

166
00:05:52,355 --> 00:05:54,275
and I needed something that would work with

167
00:05:54,275 --> 00:05:56,355
day cares and, you know, school schedules and

168
00:05:56,355 --> 00:05:57,875
stuff like that. So I started looking for

169
00:05:57,875 --> 00:05:59,795
something different than the urgent cares that I

170
00:05:59,795 --> 00:06:01,095
was working in at the time,

171
00:06:01,795 --> 00:06:03,495
and this seemed like a good

172
00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:06,129
a good place to start. I really like

173
00:06:06,129 --> 00:06:08,610
the fact that we can be preemptive in

174
00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:10,449
making a difference in children's lives and their

175
00:06:10,449 --> 00:06:13,089
health and then making an impact on our

176
00:06:13,089 --> 00:06:13,589
communities

177
00:06:14,050 --> 00:06:16,370
versus waiting until somebody's in the hospital and

178
00:06:16,370 --> 00:06:18,905
trying to teach them how to,

179
00:06:19,324 --> 00:06:21,245
react so we can be proactive in a

180
00:06:21,245 --> 00:06:23,965
school system instead of reactive later on with

181
00:06:23,965 --> 00:06:26,125
adults. Yeah. And there's a lot of places

182
00:06:26,125 --> 00:06:27,245
you can be a nurse. You can be

183
00:06:27,245 --> 00:06:28,764
a nurse at a hospital. You can be

184
00:06:28,764 --> 00:06:29,745
a nurse anywhere.

185
00:06:30,125 --> 00:06:31,645
Can you give us a day to day

186
00:06:31,645 --> 00:06:33,860
breakdown of what a school nurses' day is

187
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:36,019
like? Well, I wish there was one answer,

188
00:06:36,019 --> 00:06:37,939
but there really isn't. As a school nurse,

189
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:39,220
you always have to be kind of on

190
00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:42,199
your toes and expecting that anything could happen.

191
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,500
But in general, I would say that, you

192
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:47,095
know, they they barely hit the door before

193
00:06:47,095 --> 00:06:49,035
somebody's asking for something,

194
00:06:49,735 --> 00:06:52,055
whether that be parents that have questions about

195
00:06:52,055 --> 00:06:53,895
the care of their students, students that maybe

196
00:06:53,895 --> 00:06:55,435
have diabetic care needs,

197
00:06:55,814 --> 00:06:58,074
or maybe they are having an asthma attack.

198
00:06:58,349 --> 00:07:02,269
There's questions about educating staff members because they

199
00:07:02,269 --> 00:07:03,870
also take care of that piece where they

200
00:07:03,870 --> 00:07:06,750
educate staff members about EpiPen and inhalers and

201
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:07,250
medications.

202
00:07:07,709 --> 00:07:10,029
They prepare for field trips. So there's lots

203
00:07:10,029 --> 00:07:12,189
of different ways that could look. Yeah. Even

204
00:07:12,189 --> 00:07:13,954
just hearing you say all that seems like

205
00:07:13,954 --> 00:07:16,435
an overwhelming kind of job takes a real

206
00:07:16,435 --> 00:07:18,435
special person to to fill that role. And

207
00:07:18,435 --> 00:07:21,235
we have a number of very special folks,

208
00:07:21,235 --> 00:07:23,714
an amazing team of nurses and health clerks

209
00:07:23,714 --> 00:07:26,339
that help students day in and day out.

210
00:07:26,339 --> 00:07:28,740
And, Angela, you're now the person leading that

211
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:29,240
team.

212
00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:31,939
So what role do you play in, in

213
00:07:31,939 --> 00:07:34,020
the school day? I like to think that

214
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:36,100
my primary role is to support our nurses

215
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,964
that are in the schools. You know, they're

216
00:07:37,964 --> 00:07:39,964
the boots on the ground, and so I

217
00:07:39,964 --> 00:07:42,444
really do depend on them to re you

218
00:07:42,444 --> 00:07:43,805
know, reach out to me and let me

219
00:07:43,805 --> 00:07:45,245
know what they need and how I can

220
00:07:45,245 --> 00:07:46,064
support them.

221
00:07:46,844 --> 00:07:49,644
The biggest role I currently have, I would

222
00:07:49,644 --> 00:07:53,009
say, in that support piece is finding out,

223
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:55,490
what they need and how to make that

224
00:07:55,490 --> 00:07:57,170
happen so they feel supported and can get

225
00:07:57,170 --> 00:07:59,889
their jobs done. That includes a lot of

226
00:07:59,889 --> 00:08:00,389
staffing.

227
00:08:01,009 --> 00:08:02,770
So I would say that's probably the biggest

228
00:08:02,770 --> 00:08:05,189
piece of the support is to do staffing,

229
00:08:05,569 --> 00:08:07,830
make sure that there's somebody at every school

230
00:08:08,175 --> 00:08:09,935
to take care of our students. And we

231
00:08:10,095 --> 00:08:11,935
I mean, everybody has a life outside of

232
00:08:11,935 --> 00:08:14,175
school, so our nurses need to be able

233
00:08:14,175 --> 00:08:16,014
to know that they can also take care

234
00:08:16,014 --> 00:08:17,314
of their duties

235
00:08:17,694 --> 00:08:19,294
and that the students are well taken care

236
00:08:19,294 --> 00:08:21,860
of. And, Angela, it's obvious that you're passionate

237
00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:23,300
about your work, so this may not be

238
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:24,899
an easy answer for you. But what is

239
00:08:24,899 --> 00:08:27,540
your favorite part about being a nurse? That's

240
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:29,860
actually a pretty easy answer for me. I

241
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:32,660
just love the positive impact that myself and

242
00:08:32,660 --> 00:08:35,315
our nurses, all of health care can provide

243
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:37,095
to our communities. I love that impact.

244
00:08:37,634 --> 00:08:39,394
We do lots of things that impact the

245
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:41,554
community beyond our students because we do, you

246
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:44,434
know, immunization clinics. We have dental screenings. We

247
00:08:44,434 --> 00:08:46,740
do vision and hearing, and those are things

248
00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:48,580
that have a ripple effect throughout the community.

249
00:08:48,580 --> 00:08:50,340
It's not just about our students, and our

250
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:52,980
nurses are the ones that organize those. They're

251
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:54,519
the ones that say, you know,

252
00:08:54,980 --> 00:08:56,600
these are the dates that I have available.

253
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:58,019
They're the ones that reach out to the,

254
00:08:58,340 --> 00:09:00,259
teachers, and they make sure that there is

255
00:09:00,259 --> 00:09:02,514
a schedule for the day. They're the ones

256
00:09:02,514 --> 00:09:04,434
that go and they talk to all the

257
00:09:04,434 --> 00:09:06,915
students while they're actually doing the screenings. They

258
00:09:06,915 --> 00:09:09,235
do all of that. Well, school starts next

259
00:09:09,235 --> 00:09:11,394
week. And as parents finish up getting their

260
00:09:11,394 --> 00:09:13,235
students ready for the 1st day, what's the

261
00:09:13,235 --> 00:09:16,035
biggest question you're getting from parents? Maybe we

262
00:09:16,035 --> 00:09:17,820
can get that answer out there and help

263
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:20,779
folks, with the podcast here. Most parents are

264
00:09:20,779 --> 00:09:21,600
asking me

265
00:09:22,379 --> 00:09:24,220
what they need to bring in for the

266
00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:25,980
1st day if they have students that have

267
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:26,879
medical needs.

268
00:09:27,339 --> 00:09:29,600
And so the answer to that is,

269
00:09:30,715 --> 00:09:32,975
of course, medication that's in an original

270
00:09:33,595 --> 00:09:36,095
container that is well labeled and unexpired,

271
00:09:37,115 --> 00:09:38,254
a doctor's order

272
00:09:38,634 --> 00:09:40,315
that goes with that, and it has to

273
00:09:40,315 --> 00:09:40,815
match.

274
00:09:41,514 --> 00:09:43,915
And then if a student requires some kind

275
00:09:43,915 --> 00:09:46,240
of care plan to go with that from

276
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,159
the doctor, so, like, a seizure care plan

277
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,639
and asthma action plan, things like that, we

278
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,279
need those preferably before, like, 3 or 4

279
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,759
days before. Our nurses are actually already hitting

280
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:57,839
the doors. They're in the health rooms already

281
00:09:57,839 --> 00:09:58,740
trying to prepare.

282
00:09:59,125 --> 00:10:01,445
And so as soon as possible is always

283
00:10:01,445 --> 00:10:01,945
best.

284
00:10:02,325 --> 00:10:04,965
And then, that also gives our nurses time

285
00:10:04,965 --> 00:10:07,524
to do their individual health care plans for

286
00:10:07,524 --> 00:10:09,045
the students because they have to have those

287
00:10:09,045 --> 00:10:10,105
in place as well-to-get

288
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:11,065
to school.

289
00:10:11,365 --> 00:10:13,759
And then the other thing that parents aren't

290
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:15,759
really asking about very much, but one thing

291
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:17,679
that I really wish more parents would ask

292
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,820
about is immunizations

293
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,360
because those really do need to be set

294
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,100
up for

295
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:23,139
attendance.

296
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,600
It is a state law that we have

297
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,519
to have something in place for the 1st

298
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:28,259
day of attendance,

299
00:10:29,035 --> 00:10:31,535
And we have opportunities for immunizations,

300
00:10:32,235 --> 00:10:33,375
for athletic

301
00:10:33,915 --> 00:10:37,134
physicals, and also for refilled prescriptions,

302
00:10:37,835 --> 00:10:40,075
through our school based health centers. And then

303
00:10:40,075 --> 00:10:42,309
there's also some other resources. Some of them

304
00:10:42,309 --> 00:10:44,470
can be found on our website. Absolutely. And

305
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:46,730
those school based health centers at Graham Kapowson

306
00:10:46,789 --> 00:10:49,110
High School and Bethel Middle School and opening

307
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:51,350
very soon at Spanaway Middle School. So that

308
00:10:51,429 --> 00:10:53,829
those are great resource for our community. So

309
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:56,889
that's all our serious questions today. But finally,

310
00:10:57,215 --> 00:10:58,735
you know, you've already mentioned the chickens, so

311
00:10:58,735 --> 00:11:00,894
that's which is pretty surprising, but what's something

312
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:03,215
else about you that might surprise people that

313
00:11:03,215 --> 00:11:04,514
are getting to know you?

314
00:11:04,894 --> 00:11:05,794
I ride quads.

315
00:11:06,735 --> 00:11:08,754
Alright. Maybe that might. It might.

316
00:11:09,215 --> 00:11:10,735
I don't know because I'm like, I don't

317
00:11:10,735 --> 00:11:12,429
know what the impression is that people get

318
00:11:12,429 --> 00:11:13,950
of me, so it makes it hard to

319
00:11:13,950 --> 00:11:16,589
determine what is going to surprise somebody. That's

320
00:11:16,589 --> 00:11:19,629
true. So I'm actually pretty country. I would

321
00:11:19,629 --> 00:11:21,870
prefer to walk around in bare feet and

322
00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:22,850
a pair of sweats

323
00:11:23,389 --> 00:11:25,490
and, maybe get on a quad.

324
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:28,075
I have a very large vehicle that I

325
00:11:28,075 --> 00:11:30,394
like to drive, which people are fairly surprised

326
00:11:30,394 --> 00:11:32,394
by, but that's it. I'm I'm I'm kinda

327
00:11:32,394 --> 00:11:34,815
country. You're gonna fit in just fine.

328
00:11:35,754 --> 00:11:37,034
I would I would say that's it. Well,

329
00:11:37,034 --> 00:11:38,475
let's dig in a little bit. I know

330
00:11:38,475 --> 00:11:40,154
some other folks that ride quads out here.

331
00:11:40,154 --> 00:11:43,029
What's your favorite place to go quad quadting?

332
00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:45,009
Quad. To ride a quad? Go riding. We

333
00:11:45,009 --> 00:11:46,850
just say go riding. Yeah. Yeah. See, I

334
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:49,009
don't ride the Not a quad or not.

335
00:11:49,090 --> 00:11:50,870
Quad or not. Ride the quads.

336
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:53,750
We really enjoy Sand Lake.

337
00:11:54,129 --> 00:11:56,514
Okay. Where's that at? The, that is down

338
00:11:56,514 --> 00:11:58,995
in Oregon. We we go as a family.

339
00:11:58,995 --> 00:12:00,514
We have a toy hauler. Do you know

340
00:12:00,514 --> 00:12:02,915
what a toy hauler is? I imagine, like,

341
00:12:02,915 --> 00:12:04,835
a little wagon. Bucket you put your toys

342
00:12:04,835 --> 00:12:07,235
in? No. And that's why I asked. So

343
00:12:07,235 --> 00:12:08,615
a toy hauler is actually

344
00:12:08,995 --> 00:12:10,754
like a trailer except for the whole back

345
00:12:10,754 --> 00:12:13,629
end flops open, and you drive your quads

346
00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:15,070
or your,

347
00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:17,289
motorcycles into it. It has, like, a little

348
00:12:17,289 --> 00:12:19,370
garage space. Oh, that's cool. And then when

349
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:20,590
you park,

350
00:12:21,049 --> 00:12:23,370
then you would unload all your gear and

351
00:12:23,370 --> 00:12:25,784
all your whatever vehicles you took with you

352
00:12:25,784 --> 00:12:27,544
because we also have a sand rail, and

353
00:12:27,544 --> 00:12:29,084
then it has bunk beds that go

354
00:12:29,784 --> 00:12:32,184
down into the Oh, wow. Garage space. And

355
00:12:32,184 --> 00:12:33,544
then it has, like, a kitchen, and it

356
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:35,784
has a full bathroom, including a shower that's

357
00:12:35,784 --> 00:12:37,600
tall enough for my 6 foot 4 husband.

358
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:40,300
