Um Scott Wilkinson from our parks department will be here to tell you what about the historic report and give you an update on that project. So it's um it's real important to have as many of you here as possible then. If you guys can all make a point to review your emails on a weekly basis, twice a week would be ideal, but I would settle, I'll compromise on one so that um because I am running out of time and giving reminders over the text is difficult for me. So if y'all could just review your email, put a reminder on. This is not intended. This is not pointed at one person.
