[2:49] I'm going out to, you know, I'm going to stop by the DFW in Dallas, you know, the Illinois State Fair. [2:52] Well, I remember that Reagan was from Illinois and all that. [2:53] But in any event, when we're out there, I hope we get a chance to get together. [2:55] Will you be in California the last two weeks of August or not? [3:27] Yes, Sammy. [3:43] There's more going on than meets the eye, let me tell you, on other fronts. [3:48] I won't tell you, but we shouldn't do it over the phone.
