It’s summer, folks. There are a lot of people going swimming. There are a lot of people going out on their boats. Then, of course, there’s a lot of people walking on the shoreline with their heads down.

Did they lose their keys?

Are they checking out their new toenail polish?

No. We'll tell you what they're doing in this episode.

Also, a local composting company is making their pitch at the NextCycle pitch competition.
