Oh, really? Contrast one place. No problem. I think that'll be out of the same basically. So they don't call it one specific ball and their battle. I might start now. Maybe you'll pay me. I'm gonna need extra to come there. Just kidding. I mean that all they're in there in desperate legal. They are, but they usually hire Kimberly Dale and she does a good job for 'em. But I don't think they hire to come to every quorum court meeting. She does do a good job for him on the big step. Okay, it's five o'clock. I'll go ahead and call the uh public works council committee meeting to order. If you would please mark your attendance when prompted to do so. We do have a quorum.
