Botetide also, I'm not positive of who infrastructure, whether it's Bodotide or a median fee, but, and I don't know if you can tell from your maps, but we have transmission line runs there on wood poles and they are compromised. We've got several of them on fire. I want to notify.
07:14
I'm assuming it's going to be Craig Botton.
07:17
If not, they can direct you.
07:18
But whoever needs to come out, they are compromised and are on file.
07:25
Affirmative, looking at my math, it is going to be Craig Botatoc.
