I understand some texts have been received from persons who may have come in late who didn't hear the original explanation. So we will state it again. All of the scoring was done on Thursday. At the conclusion of interviews, those scores were placed into a sealed envelope. They were taken to the safe of the Floyd Allen law firm. They were brought back today. They were unsealed here by the Floyd Allen law firm, and they are now computing the scores at the conclusion of that the top ranking, or top scoring person's name will be read. That is what is occurring at this moment.

Thank you. And we have no public comments at this point online or in person, So we just wait. Thank you for Your Patience. Applause.

Okay. This is possible, Yeah,

sleeping? No, I didn't wash it out. It's too big, Hard.
