The sun’s shining, the birds are chirping — it’s a perfect Fall day!

Happy Friday, Poconos! Matty Beik here, soaking in the kind of Fall weather I love: warm temps, no humidity, and those crisp, clear skies.

Whatever you’re up to today or tonight, have fun, be safe, and please — don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!

Catch you tomorrow at noon, and as always, thanks for listening to Poco 103!
