So it's all about autonomous vehicles. So the standard phase would be, you know, not too many autonomous vehicles at the intersection so the lights are normal. However, the white phase happens when a significant amount of autonomous vehicles are present, the white light turns on. So it's about alerting everybody else. And then the automatic, sorry, autonomous vehicles at the intersection take control of the traffic flow, communicating with each other and the signal. So anyway, yeah, that's very interesting. Anyway, so that's just part of it, but I thought I'd let everybody know what that fourth light is for. Okay, and not being proposed apparently yet here in Seattle according to Amy, as far as she knows. All right, well thank you, Bill. Hey, let's go talk to Mike now. Mike, thanks for being so patient. K1MVR, how are you, sir? I'm doing outstanding, just sitting here at work ready to get my day started. I'm not sure how I feel about all those autonomous vehicles. It looks like we're going to run into an issue like in iRobot or something like that where the car pretty much just does what it wants to do because somebody else is in control. I like to be in control of my car. It's probably one of the funnest things about driving is being the guy in control. So yeah, I'm not too sure how I feel about that. I mean the autopilot stuff is kind of cool every now and then, but I still like driving. Anyway, nothing new on the critter side of things. The little kittens are still just causing all sorts of havoc and confusion. So kittens do best. That's why you want to have more than one at a time because one gets lonely, one gets bored, and your stuff gets shredded. Two kittens can shred each other, and they will love doing it, and they have fun doing it. So that's my take on that one. And on the radio side of things, I was tinkering around in my shack last night. It's nice that I have the ability to transmit and stuff in the radio shack finally. And I was able to suss out the issues I was having with my digital modes. I got the Wires X up and running properly, and it looks like my digital stuff is starting to come along, at least at the Yacu radios. So that was definitely a happy, happy Joy Joy for me. And I did a range test. So I was connected to – it's not America Link, but it's another one of the really big ones out of Oklahoma, I believe it is. And I was two miles away from my house. I was able to get it, but like seven miles away from my house I wasn't. So I'm somewhere in between is where I lose connection to my repeater. Anyway, let's get back to the net. This is K1 MDR.
