Hello America. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here. It is an open line Friday,

8779373-745 and my normal call screeners on vacation so you even have a better shot of getting through.

He doesn't like it when I say that. He is. So Charlie is out this way.

He and his family always spend 4th of July week in Montana.

I won't be able to get anything for you or from you.

Maybe he'll return.

If not, Phillips got more job responsibility starting next week.

Okay, 87797973, 7425.

Let me begin this hour with the phone call.

John Wright, I want to go to you first.
