0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome back to missing. I am Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today? I'm doing fantastic
0:39.2	today, Tim. Thanks so much for asking. I hope all the listeners are doing fantastic as well.
0:43.9	This is a great conversation with a little bit of an update on our continuing coverage of
0:49.1	this rumored phenomenon that's happening in the New England area.
