Yeah, you got the name right Dave. I think that's Gabriel. But it's heading right for Bermuda. I'm possibly a little bit east of Bermuda, and then it'll go up to the Azores. I don't think it'll get to the UK. It doesn't look like that strong, but like I say, all the people that I knew left the city and grew up and had different progressions. And one of the best buddies I had was an Italian guy. We knew each other 55 years, and he was part of the mafia. We used to always go over to his house in parts of Pittsburgh. And his dad, who was a mafia guy, a real good guy, he had a big row of Italian grapes in the backyard. And we used to go out there and help him grow the grapes, and then we'd pick them and put them in a big barrel and crush them with our feet. They made this real strong wine. They called it Dago Red. And as kids, they used to let us drink Dago Red wine. But my brother, he called me just two days ago, and we were always talking on the phone for almost two hours and just talking about Pittsburgh, what a great city it is. And I'll tell you one funny story, David. I don't know if you're an ice hockey fan, but Pittsburgh always had an ice hockey team. In the 50s and 60s, the minor league came. And then later on, they had the Pittsburgh Hornets, and they built a really good team playing in Pittsburgh with the Pittsburgh NHL team. But it's funny. Pittsburgh has some really good colleges. Like one of the finest engineering schools is Carnegie Mellon. And a couple of the Google guys went there. A lot of famous Silicon Valley guys went to Carnegie Mellon, CMU they call it, University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University. Just really, really good schools there. But my buddy, who was an Italian guy and a boxer and a jab was a Mafia guy, one of his sons, his oldest son, could fight in the street. He grew to be a nuclear engineer. And the first nuclear submarine was made east of Pittsburgh by Westinghouse, about 20 or 35 miles east of Pittsburgh. The world's first nuclear sub was built in Pittsburgh, and Admiral Rickover was the head of the whole project. My friend's oldest brother, he was a nuclear engineer. They're pretty amazing. Like I say, you could get kids on the street, but when they got older, they grew into a good profession. And I tell you, in England and the UK, there's great, great boxes over there. You've got to pick them out though. Great boxes. Anyway, Dave, back to you.
