Well good evening to you Rebecca and everyone out there on the net. Kimmy here, KJ7RAB. We went up to Burlington and you know it's interesting to me because I, as a kid, when I first moved to Washington State from California, we moved to Mount Vernon and it was a completely different planet for me because I grew up in the Mojave Desert and coming from there to Washington State, we arrived I think around September and so you know it was a really dry arid climate down there and coming up here, we didn't see the sun for months and everything was wet because it was rainy season, I'd never seen a flood before. All that to say, I don't know where I'm going with this, but Mount Vernon is very close to Burlington. Burlington was never the place that was like the center of what was going on, but now it seems like there's a lot of places popping up in Burlington that are really quite something and we went there tonight because there was a new speakeasy that opened that one of Robert's coworkers told us about. I can't remember the name of it, but I'll get back to you on that. There's a restaurant up there that we really like called the Train Wreck. It's kind of a train wreck, open to speakeasy, it's about a block away and it's on a side street and you walk in and there's, it looks like a barber shop, there's a little barber's chair and an old cash register, two restrooms and a cigarette machine. You need to pull the right, the correct lever on the cigarette machine to open the door to the speakeasy. It took us a minute to figure out how to get in and once we did, then we were able to get in and see the place and it was lovely. We went there and had just hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and then went over to the train wreck for dinner because we really liked the food there and the people and all of that. The people that were sitting at the table behind us, Robert thought that he knew the person, but he was hesitant to say hello and so he was with no shame. I approached them and said, hey, you know, I'm sorry to interrupt, my fantastic partner here thinks he knows you and he's too chicken to say hi. And of course it was the person Robert thought it was and so they did know each other and got to say hi. But I said, you can't leave here without saying hi because it will bug you forever if you don't. Also, we thought about you, Jeff, because we watched the end of the game and so we knew that you'd be happy about that outcome. Thanks so much for hosting, Rebecca. It's always great to hear your voice. Thanks for everything that you do. KJ7RAB, back to neck control, all the numbers.
