Um, and all of us, I have to say that I have been stuck in airports before. Um, and you know what? There's nothing you can do about it, and nothing you can do about the weather, there's nothing you can do about it. But I thought that um the Loudon delegation. Um, I thought that I I thought we had the most fun you could possibly have stuck in the airport. Um, there was no there was no blaming, there was no, it was just getting to know each other, and we really, really wanted to come home, and we were supposed to be we're supposed to take off at twelve forty-seven. We took off at the other like 1247, like it was crazy. But you know what, there's nothing you can do about it.
