Hour 1 - Pumpkin Spice Season, Kabul Small Animal Rescue, & Students Stuck In Afghanistan - a podcast by Philip Teresi

Pumpkin Spice Season has arrived but how do we live, laugh and love in these times? Headed into the holiday weekend, Yosemite National Park, Bass Lake and Shaver Lake will be open despite closures of national forests statewide. Clearing up some rumors about Afghanistan. Photos circulating of dogs left at the airport in Kabul were not military working dogs but instead animals from the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, an organization founded by American, Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, in 2018. Video shared online that claimed the Taliban used an American Blackhawk helicopter to conduct a public hanging was in fact a Taliban fighter in a harness trying to affix a flag to a building, unsuccessfully. According to the San Juan Unified School District, 29 students are stuck in Afghanistan following withdrawal of the last US troops earlier in the week.
