Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erikson here. Greetings across America to all of you.

Glad you're with me. You can follow along on social media at E.W. Erickson, Twitter,

Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, you name it. The phone number 877-97-973-7-425 if you'd like to be on the program.

I would like to thank all of the people in Gainesville, Georgia,

for the wonderful welcome at Longstreet Cafe this morning.

I was on Fox and Friends with Brian Kilmead at about 640 this morning.

Y'all, I'm, if I sound a little off my game today, I had some friends coming over last night.

Fox and Friends asked, could you come up and be on with Kilmead?

He's going to be in Gainesville at Longstreet Cafe broadcasting live. We'd like to

talk to you about the Georgia races. I was like, sure, but these friends of mine have been wanting

to come over for about a month. I wasn't going to cancel on him. So they left around 9.30 last

night. I got on the road by 10. My assistant had got me a hotel room. Well, when I got

close, I realized there was a hotel closer, and so I tried to call to see if they might have had

a cancellation or something, and they didn't. My car GPS rerouted me to that other hotel,

and I didn't realize it.

So I showed up at the hotel 12.15 in the morning and they said, we're very sorry,

you don't have a reservation here.

Give me your confirmation number.

Gave her the confirmation number.

She says, actually, your hotel is in Dawsonville, Georgia, not Gainesville, Georgia.

It's about 30 minutes from here.

So I got there about 1245 this morning, was in bed right after one, was up at five, was on set at 615, was in my car by 7 o'clock.
