Well, alright, how do you do?

My name is Mixeleven, and this is the past and the curious.

First and foremost, I must say that the Kickstarter for the book, I see Lincoln's underpants,

is a smash hit.

So if you have supported, thank you very much.

If you have not supported, it is open and up until the morning of April 1st.

So there's still a little bit of time left.

If you have some stretch goals, you might get us to one of those.

If not, you know what, I'm just so happy that you're listening and maybe somewhere

down the road, you can find the book and read it and enjoy it because that's why I wrote

it.

It's not going to physically be in the world until later on this year, probably the fall.

But in the meantime, we'll be having plenty of fun here on the podcast.

This episode features the stories of Tetsuya Fujita, aka Ted Fujita, aka Mr. Tornado,

which is a super cool nickname.

Also, this episode features the story of Charles Hatfield, a noted rainmaker, and I should

point out that this story was suggested, there's a great suggestion, by one of our Patreon

folks, a lady named Jessica, who I actually knew in high school and who is a geologist.

And so, you know, stumbled upon this really great story, and I really appreciate the

share and it was fun to learn about.

So let's get started.

Let me introduce you to Ted Fujita.
