Yeah, KB0MAI. I'm sorry. I was reading something at the same time, trying to get the lay of the land. Your question about the no kings protests that happened, you know, just the October 18th. It's interesting. I was looking at some facts on that. And the one that was on June 14th, there was roughly 2,100 protest events around the US, right? And the estimated between 4 million and 6 million people showed up for these things, with 99.999% of them being peaceful. There might be a straggler here or there, but most of it was all peaceful. Peaceful assembly, doing their constitutional right to protest whatever they want to protest. And we all know what the no kings protest is about. What's interesting, though, is we went from 2,100 protests back in June to October. We had 27. So from 21 to 27, that was 500 more protests than there was just a few months ago. And it was in all 50 states. And what was interesting is they think there's up to 7 million participants, but data journalists estimated at around 5 to 6.5 million. So we went from 4 to 6 million to 5 to 6.5 million conservative estimates of how many people actually protested. So the number's going up. More people are getting fed up, I guess. But that was the first thing I wanted to talk about. I didn't personally see anything because my wife was in surgery and I was trying to take care of her. I know they had one downtown Kansas City, another one in St. Louis, somewhere in Columbia, also. Columbia, Missouri.
