Well, I just wanted to thank you for your nice little comment at the meeting today.
Yeah, you said, boy, it's all good.
You feel all right after your trip?
Good, good.
Well, you know, actually, the country here is kind of drunk with the poor folks who, you know, I mean, you can report a lot of times, but in particular, you say you're one and a half.
It's pretty solid, isn't it?
You know, they all want to get the name of the war.
They're beginning to realize we're doing it.
You know what?
I think we're our democratic race.
They're afraid it might work.
We'll try to get it done.
Anyway, we'll do it.
Keep the war in charge of us.
All right.
Bye.
