I go to P.A.C. to say why. Then you get back to me. Yeah, uh, I wrote that I didn't see him and then I wrote that I don't see him either. As you called those two. An Alaskan nut was connected in here all day the other day right after the nut on Sunday morning. And then it was connected the day before that. I guess if somebody from D-Drop in checks in, then I guess probably what happens is Scott will disconnect them as soon as he realizes that they're checking in from D-Drop in. So I've noticed that, the I guess cross-linking situation. Oh, uh, my dad had noticed that the uh, he noticed it a long, like long after I noticed it. When the Greenwood Burger Kitchen went out of business, the one at 1056 Girard. He made the comment like, how did they stay in business so long when they were encroaching on McDonald's? Because McDonald's is right at the Girard Square Mall. And then they have their joint like, pretty much right on top of them. Like you go to their place like McDonald's and then you can literally turn around and you find the great Greenwood Burger Kitchen. It's like people who um, like the vendors do encroach all the time. Same thing, I don't know how they manage it. They'll go to Burger King, they'll go to the food courts, they'll go anywhere where there's places like that and then just park their truck and you know, try it out there. Cilantro-wares! As the hot dogs are. So um, I always wondered how that even manages to happen. But see like, Girard Street, um, as far as where we live, it's basically you know, almost like where all the activity is for us. Because we don't live downtown the way, like my brother used to, right, when he lived an hour away. And that's the place everybody remembers, right? Luckily all the crime and home invasions take place downtown. I hope I don't jinx it. But typically, a lot of the, like where they'd rather break into the swanky apartments and the hard places to get into. Like it seemed like the harder you have to be buzzed in and all the rest of it, the more they seem to be susceptible to crime. I would hope, I mean I don't know, I said that's why I say I hope I don't jinx it. But I would hope that they don't have the notions to break into people's actual homes. Like, well wait, although they're all homes, but I mean houses. The place where the houses are in Toronto are totally different from where the downtown core and the apartments and the co-ops are. Those get busted into all the time. Oh great! I'll know everything about it when I start living in those. But they typically don't really break into these houses. Now that comes in phases. There was a while where there was sort of an unruly bunch that lived on this street and they did all the crime and all the suspicious things. But it came in waves. Usually they go away, right, because they move. People don't stay in these old areas forever. So, yeah, because we hear about the worst stuff, it takes place downtown and it's the first item on the news on like CTV News at 6. It's like the first things you hear is all this, I call it extremely local stuff. Like a big story that was kind of propagated last week was a bad home invasion that had happened in Mississauga where this guy broke into a house. He killed the owner of the house and the rest of them are all in this, you know, because he ran away and they didn't catch him and he stole things. And so those are terrible, right, because as a homeowner, the last thing you want to know is people are brazen enough to break in right in front of you. Like with you right there, they don't even care now. It used to be that you were careful not to broadcast that you were going to be away for a few weeks and that was all you worried about. You actually worry about being home because they just come in right on you. And so that's in the news every day. It's right in our face every day. It's before everything else. Before the American news, before the Canadian strikes because they're still going on about Air Canada and their woes. So even before all of that, even before how the Raptors and the Satnos are going to be doing, they tell you about the just really local regional Toronto stuff and it's creepy, it's scary. They highlight it, it's like they want you to know on purpose the first things they want you to know. So, and it's always the worst stuff, fires, people's houses burning down and then of course the home invasions. So on that pleasantry, I'll pass it back to you Russ.
