Alright, that's a manageable list of four. Let's see if I can straighten out the first call on this list. Victor Oscar One, Uniform Kilo Zulu. Let's have a report. Ah, you got it, man. Victor Oscar One, Uniform Kilo Zulu it is. I know it's a mouthful when you first hear it or get used to it, I suppose. But, yeah, Victor Oscar One and Victor Oscar Two prefixes are unique to this province of Newfoundland and Labrador here, respectively. So, um, yeah, that's where that one comes from. And I call it the rock because, man, when you look at a map, when you actually see where I am, don't check the map on QRS, it gets it wrong. If you look up St. John's, Newfoundland, you'll see where I'm to. Way, way out in the North Atlantic Ocean. So, we're basically a rock and anybody who's ever tried to grow anything here other than uncultivated farmland, because, I mean, you can put in the work and make the land farmable, but it really doesn't want you to. Its regular condition is not really conducive to growing a whole lot. But if you want to blast a rock away and, you know, bring in some topsoil and, you know, work it over years and stuff, it will eventually, you know, cave and let you grow some food. But whoever first landed here was the Vikings back well over a thousand years ago. And if you look at Newfoundland history, they were the earliest settlers in North America. And then, of course, Columbus and his crowd came along and John Cabot named them in 1492 and officially colonized this island here. So, people have been here a long time. There's only about a little over half a million of us. Yeah, a little over half a million. But it's a nice large chunk of land. It takes about 10 hours to cross it by car, doing about 75 miles an hour the whole time. So, it's quite the big rock, but nonetheless a rock. Other than that, not really much going on. Just taking it easy this afternoon. Might do some game streaming in a little while. Play some Super Mario World from like back in like 91 or 92 and stream a little bit of that on YouTube with some colorful commentary, perhaps. 73 and all the best from here on the rock. This is the 01 UKZ.
