Whatever I say, we're just looking through some headlines, obviously some big things happened yesterday.

I looked at the Star Tribune, and the first 20 stories, the first 20, are not about the hurricane.

You'd think they'd mention it, you know.

Yeah, especially since, you know, a lot of Minnesotans tend to have winter homes down in the Florida area.

Yeah, only the really lame ones, right, Tavons?

The lame ones that are over on the West Coast, you mean?

Is that what you're saying?

Those people.

Those kind of people, no question about it.

But yeah, you might want to mention that it looked pretty severe.

I watched the national news this morning, and it, man, he was kicking some ass up there by,

it was kind of moved away a bit from Tampa, didn't it?

I didn't hit directly like they thought it was going to.

I'm not sure exactly that, but I saw reports that, like, last second,

it got downgraded from like a cat five to a cat three.

Oh, yeah.

But then it was going to ramp back up because I saw a, like a weather person down there who like was on a balcony in the eye of the storm and was doing, was doing a live report and was saying the second half of this is going to be worse than anything we've already gotten.

So, you know, he had already heard like people driving around and cars honking and stuff.

And he's like, no, get back inside right now.

Yeah.
