Yeah.
Yeah.
One other thing, if you would tell Steve or whoever's that I should have covered earlier.
I was talking to Pat, and she said that Rose had been called and asked whether anything was being set up for the rallies.
And I said, well, I don't think there was something, but Sunday afternoon.
What I mean is that be sure that Steve or whoever is in charge of that schedule, it lets her know what these events are so that she knows that there's going to be an event for several days or whatever.
And that the relative event is going to be on Sunday afternoon.
There's going to be a church service and so forth and so on and so on.
Also pointing out that she doesn't get involved too much in the listening.
I see.
Well, apparently, she didn't approve.
I'm sure.
Fine.
Well, I see what it's trying to do.
Maybe she is clued in on one word, that we are going to do all these events or something.
I see.
Okay.
Fine.
This thing's garbage.
All right.
