And now your host, Logan Secula. Welcome to Secula. We got some breaking news coming up. Phone lines are open for you at 1-800-684-31-10. I want to hear from you. It's Friday. We made it here to the end of the week. A lot of you are joining us online. We appreciate it. So we'll give a few minutes for everyone to start making their way in online.
