Yeah.
My information apparently is correct.
I just talked to Kash and he's having some problems.
He's got a temperature today and some sort of infection.
So he won't be going until certainly tomorrow, not today, probably not tomorrow, Friday.
But I told Kash I'm going to try to find out when he goes.
Now, if he doesn't go, Bob, do you think I should still go out to see him?
I suppose another possibility would be to still go from here and just drop by a helicopter at that hospital.
Just drop in at the damn place.
Friday.
If you can have anybody that's trustworthy in a secret service, well, rather than the Office of the Conservatives, you could go out and just check to see
whether there's a place for a helicopter landing near there or something like that.
It might be an idea.
Just another thing that... No, well, this thing, I can give the coasts a look.
So we're all set.
Would you mind seeing something else again there?
Are they going to bring up any more papers or anything today?
rather than the car.
I'd like for them to bring the big dog up.
I know it isn't back yet.
Not the three, all three because we don't have anybody to handle him here.
But it'd be good for him and I'd have a little, when I go for a walk, I could take him.
Could they send him up?
Okay.
