<v Speaker 2>very widely scattered. We've also had some sunshine in spots,

72
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>but of course, as you know, when the evening comes,

73
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>the sun goes away anyway, so might as well bring

74
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.520

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.000

81
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 2>steady though, mid forties, and then on Sunday we'll break

82
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>out some sunshine, temperatures in the low fifties, but we'll

83
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>also keep the wind around, so that'll make it feel

84
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>a bit chillier. A mix of sun and clouds on

<v Speaker 2>And when it comes to eating sweets, you ever feel

91
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>like you've got an angel on one shoulder devil on

92
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.120

95
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 5>Just when I thought I was done placing my doughnut order,

96
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 5>Oh wait a that hold on? Is that a TwixT donut?

98
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 5>There was a chocolate frosted donut with actual candy bars

99
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 5>on top. So you might never expect that the person

100
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 5>who made it is.

101
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:54.920

104
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 5>up the mess she made in your mouth.

105
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 6>I think everything in moderation.

106
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Donut's not going to hurt you.

107
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 6>Brush your teeth afterwards.

108
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:08.480

110
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 5>she was even born. So while dental school may have

111
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 5>been the dream all along, the donuts will always be

112
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 5>there and both share one thing in common, smiles.

113
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.879
