Good evening, gentlemen and men. Well, we had a cold cold front come through yesterday and this morning when I went out, out the door for the first time, I was surprised how much the weather, how much the temperature and humidity had dropped. It was a fairly just north breeze and the temperature was like in the mid 70s where normally this time it's in the 80s or so, you know, low to mid 80s. So it was a radical difference and I almost kind of felt almost a little bit of nip. I guess I just had to acclimate to it so it's refreshing and it makes things a little pleasant, a little more terrible. We're supposed to be in a dry period because we've had rain off and on for the last couple of weeks and basically no hurricanes or anything like that threatening us these days which brings me to the fact that today is September 8th which is the 125th anniversary of the Great Galveston Hurricane 1900 which is considered the deadliest natural disaster in American history. Something like estimates of between 6 to 12,000 people lost their lives that day from a recent study what is considered somewhere between the four categories, five hurricanes which inundated the city almost just about all but destroyed it but the city got itself back together, they built a massive seawall to protect it from storm surge and they actually raised the elevation of the island. One of the interesting things that happened this weekend is that the New York Book of World Records people were here and they were, they certified, a whole bunch of people got together and they lined a whole 10 mile length of a seawall holding hands and the seawall was designated as the largest sea wall in the world and the world according to the book the world's longest continuous side wall so that was cool. And another thing before my time goes up, Star Trek days today, happy...
