Isaac Haile Selassie, Rasta Man from Zion

Thank you so much for tuning in to Awakening Code Radio.

My name is Eric Rankin, as I guess I'd already said about 30 seconds ago.

Opposite of me is Michelle Anderson.

I am behind the board tonight in our beautiful new station here on Oak Street in Glenary in Laguna Beach.

Hi, Michelle.

Hey, Eric.

Are you excited about tonight? I am.

I'm very excited about our guest tonight and the show.

I usually am, but I think I'm going to actually learn a lot in this show, and that's always a good thing for me.

I like learning new things, and I wouldn't have thought that there was so much about this topic that I did not know, and it kind of surprised me.

And, of course, we want to welcome you, our listener.

Maybe you are listening live through a terrestrial radio because we are an FM radio station here.

in South Orange County, Laguna Beach, right on the coast.

Maybe you've seen a lot of Laguna Beach in the headlines all around the world because of our eroding coast.

We had a couple of cyclonic hurricane storms that really didn't get that close to us, but between a combination of high tides and swell and surf and storm surge, A lot of damage was done.

We've had some homes that were lost.

We've got a beach erosion to where beaches like Aliso Creek almost don't exist anymore.

So it's really been something, and we might be talking a little bit more about that tonight.

I'm not sure, but we want to send our...

Thoughts and prayers to anybody really affected by this up all the way towards Newport Beach down to San Clemente.

It has really been something.

Or maybe you're a streamer listener live, or most of our listeners are podcast listeners.

We appreciate all of you so much.

Before we get into the topic of our conversation, we want to thank our amazing admin, Colleen.

Thank you.
