Hello?

Hi, Ron, how about that?

Hope, did you work it out?

Fine, keep it coming.

Oh, no, no, I'll spend 15 minutes.

And what I want is Polly there to take a picture on each side, but then I want Polly to walk out and take some off the roadside.

Then I'll make up a little album for her.

Hope, I think that's a good idea.

All right.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah.

Good.

What is the, what was the local promise?

They're very local.

What I meant is they didn't have many members back in the day.

See, they have about 60 absentees.

Yeah.

It's the same percentage they've had all the time.

Thank you.

Okay.

How about...

Some Republicans thought it was up in praise of the local Democrats.

Has he?

Good.

Good, good.

All right.
