Anyways, it always not necessarily, and I didn't 14 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.000 think it would tonight because well, look a couple things 15 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.439 this week. One, I wasn't feeling well at the beginning 16 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.359 of the week. I was feeling quite ill. As I 17 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.560 sit here by the way, I have one cigarette left, 18 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.319 so I've been anxiously trying to make sure that I 19 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.200 could save one cigarette to have on the show. Okay, 20 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.599 it's been a weird week, as I said, and you know, 21 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.319 between the Internet being out and everything else, Yeah, I 22 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:31.719 wasn't sure that I was going to make it to 23 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.480 the mic tonight. But since it is functional, what the hell, 24 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.599 let's go live now. Maybe you want to talk to 25 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.239 me about the current situation in the southeastern part of 26 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:49.079 the continental United States?

It's been weird, high winds, all 31 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.439 that good stuff. It's already done whatever it was going 32 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.240 to do in Florida. And who's next, Georgia. And no 33 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.080 matter who you are, where you are, when you are, 34 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.240 I do hope that you're safe now. Some of you 35 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.680 could be listening to this the next day, the next week, 36 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:25.319 whatever accidentally tapped a button, gotten yourself onto this particular 37 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:31.639 days scheduled flights.

Okay, 46 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.240 but it is one of those things that's going on. 47 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:23.680 We might also hear from guess what a buff of 48 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.879 sorts related to the following, the tracking, the analyzation of 49 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.879 what the storm, what's happening to people as a result 50 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.520 of et cetera, et cetera, and where and why and 51 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.360 how and all that and when you may come out 52 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.560 of your house, your job, what have you.

It's a chick flick and you 92 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.639 liked it. Well, one of the filming locations for that 93 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.519 film is under an imminent damn failure threat. 94 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.360 So just f why.

Basically, western North Carolina Mountains are closed. 105 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.399 Some official, some emergency management guy in Tennessee, I think, said, yeah, 106 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.000 you can consider that all the roads in North Carolina 107 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:25.879 Mountains closed. 108 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.839 It's that much flooding going off. We had better than 109 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.680 rains and it's a mess. 110 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.600 Yeah. I was curious about this. 111 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.079 Sorry, go ahead, Yeah I went. 112 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.240 It went from Georgia, went right up through South Carolina 113 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:40.680 into our mountains. 114 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.560 It hit. 115 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.360 Charlotte was on the east side of the eye, so 116 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.480 it caught a lot of rains and started flooding Charlotte. 117 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.079 It's worked its way up. They now have Ashville's flooding. 118 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.680 Wainsville is showing some flooding. I forty has been shut 119 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.040 down in about six different places between. 120 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.319 And North Carolina. 121 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:07.600 They've got imminent dam failure at Lake Moore. They had 122 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.680 to open up the floodgates at Mountain Island Lake Dam, 123 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.319 which is on the Katava Chain outside of Charlotte, to 124 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:14.240 let water go. 125 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.279 So I imagine they're moving the palaces. 126 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.360 They're moving water through their whole system on the Catavo River, 127 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:26.480 which is like Morganton down to Hickory, down to Cremont, 128 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.879 down to outside of Charlotte Lake. Oh, everybody's having problems 129 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.159 along there. They're having to move tons of water. Last 130 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.360 time they had double digit rains up there at the 131 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.879 lake that I was living on, Lake looked out. 132 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.919 It shot up about twelve feet above. 133 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.720 Full pond which is over the top of the dam, 134 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.159 and there's no floodgates on it. It's just a gravity 135 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:49.720 still dam. 136 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.519 You had a wall of like twelve feet of water. 137 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.240 It can get right here out there. 138 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.480 But they've had a lot of flooding in South Carolina. 139 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.399 Atlanta is underwater. We saw footage. 140 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.159 From there the day where cars were up their roof 141 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:12.240 in some apartment. It's just a gentleness. 142 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.759 Right, I mean, there's a bunch of uh, you know, 143 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.960 areas that now have to be sort of reevaluated. Are 144 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.200 they going to be liveable again soon? Or is it 145 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.399 going to take time for this stuff to drain back off? 146 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.840 And then people are going to have to figure out 147 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.480 after the insurance companies cover or refuse to cover whatever, 148 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:36.879 people are going to reevaluate the actual value of their property, 149 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.519 you know, something that they might have had that they 150 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.519 could have done the whole uh you know, rent my 151 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.960 rent my house, or rent my piece of land, or 152 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.399 you know, or or how is it that I can 153 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.960 sell this to somebody else, et cetera, et cetera. And 154 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:57.080 there might be some reevaluations after this particular rainy season 155 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.440 so to speak. Right, Uh, So that's going on. 156 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.919 Well, I mean anytime, yeah, anytime Floyd. 157 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.720 Remember when Floyd came in. Was it Floyd, which the 158 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.639 one that hit in Charleston. It was so bad. 159 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.600 I think that was Floyd when it came in and 160 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:17.320 hit it went inland. Now you guys are what not? 161 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.480 Are you due south of Atlanta? You're south of Atlanta? 162 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.519 But are you little more to the west, aren't you? 163 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.720 I believe we are exactly as you're describing, which is southwest. 164 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.360 Well, the eyewall, Yeah, the eyewall went. 165 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.799 Over your area about five o'clock this morning, tween five 166 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.919 and six, and that thing was. 167 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.919 Moving at about thirty five miles an hour. 168 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.679 And within the course of the day, say, from daylight 169 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.679 six o'clock, it shot all the way through North Carolina, 170 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:51.279 Tennessee and is already you know, hit in Kentucky. That's 171 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.279 how fast it moved. Can you think about that? It 172 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.399 went from Florida to well, from Georgia to South Carolina, 173 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.159 North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, five states and just you know 174 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.720 what six seven hours? 175 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.639 Yeah, it was you know, ten hours, so but still 176 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.240 it's moving it quite a clip. 177 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.440 And the last time that they had a problem like 178 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.559 this was in nineteen No. 179 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.480 Two thousand and two, we had just gotten into the 180 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.399 house on the lake. 181 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.960 We had four tropical storms run up the spine of 182 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.559 the mountains, and we actually had alarms going off on 183 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.440 seven or eight dams up there were in the process 184 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.320 of getting ready to go over the top or fail. 185 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.919 And you got to evacuate a lot of people when 186 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.320 this stuff happened. So it can really be a nightmare. 187 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.679 Yeah, it's a lot of you know, short term kind 188 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.240 of consequences. You know, the here's going to be you know, 189 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:54.919 pieces of land that were just a very short time ago, 190 00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:01.879 very livable, very usable pieces of land now covered in water, right, 191 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.840 and it's gonna be a little while before that sort 192 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.600 of drowned, you know, drains back off and you have 193 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:14.120 once again something close to usable, but it'll be forever changed, 194 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.799 right Like you know, you're gonna have a lot of 195 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.960 things that just don't take well to salt water, so 196 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.360 to speak. Right, a lot of stuff that used to 197 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.320 be fresh water is now like say a saltwater lake, 198 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.919 you know, and some lakes have literally seemed to have moved, 199 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.720 but it's just sort of drained that way. And now 200 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:38.519 we have newly settled things that were ditches or you know, 201 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.440 shallow kind of like little bodies of water all along 202 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:47.120 an area are now you know, combining into one larger river, 203 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:52.480 which they'll probably have to rename, or they'll gather, you know, 204 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.279 people that have a piece of each of these places, 205 00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.000 and they'll just hang there for about a decade. So 206 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:06.559 this is what the constant circle of life. And I've 207 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.120 always found that quite interesting. 208 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.799 You know, well, a lot of people don't realize, you know, 209 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.600 you have flooding. 210 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.200 Anytime you have a hurricane, you're gonna have coastal flooding. 211 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.399 You've got the storm surge. I think on this one 212 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.159 they said it was like. 213 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.000 Twenty feet, So basically you're looking at the second two 214 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.279 stories of a house water that deep coming in on 215 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.200 a storm surge. But in the mountains, the problem is 216 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.120 water gets concentrated so fast in such narrow paths that 217 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.480 in a matter of seconds you can have a flash 218 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.080 flood rolling down one of those valleys and it just 219 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:51.159 takes everything in its path. At the Damn Safety Act 220 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.600 of North Carolina was actually brought in because of a 221 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.879 storm like that that ran up through the mountains and 222 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.519 there was a dam I can't think of a little 223 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.240 community up in the mountains of North Caroe lot. 224 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:01.559 But when it let. 225 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.120 Loose, I think it killed six people. And it was 226 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.799 after that that the state finally said, Okay, we need 227 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:10.159 to look at some type of integrity on these structures. 228 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.440 So we're going to start permitting dams and inspecting them 229 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.440 and three of the process in places, if they can't. 230 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:17.879 Bring it up, the standards and will have to be 231 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:18.480 taken out. 232 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.120 So they've got a very good program set up for 233 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.399 inspection of this stuff. 234 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:28.440 But we have such a such a high level. 235 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:34.000 Watershed where water and gravity is combining. 236 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.519 And you think about this. 237 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:40.000 Every pound, every gallon of water weighs eight point three pounds. 238 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.879 Imagine a million galonies coming down a creek and the 239 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.440 weight and the velocity of all that, and it's just 240 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:48.240 amazing the. 241 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.279 Damage that it does. 242 00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.399 They're a steeper street of cars parked on it for 243 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.120 a matter of seconds and. 244 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.000 It really doesn't make that much. You know, they say 245 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.240 it's dangerous drive above any moving water that's deeper than 246 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.360 six inches. Your car can float. 247 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.200 If it's at the right angle, it can break loose 248 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.480 and that water will sweep it down the creek. So 249 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.519 you know, a lot of most droundings are people that 250 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.639 don't turn around. 251 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.279 They try to drive through it and they end up 252 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.679 losing the bottle. Be safe out the people. 253 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.200 But you know, we've seen what happened before. It's a 254 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:20.840 common thing. 255 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.440 Burcanes go inland and they do a lot of damage 256 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.360 many miles from where it's froll now. 257 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.799 All true, but it's just it's kind of fascinating to 258 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.759 remember that not so long ago. Here we go, you 259 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:38.320 have a whole new surrounding area. Right So, like I 260 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:43.600 said before, places that only you know, weeks ago, the 261 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.279 water starts to recede and boom, now you have brand 262 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.080 new lakes, say in a place where previous to that 263 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.399 there was you know, a bunch of houses, and they 264 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.600 end up with an area of what they might call 265 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.559 colon common ground. Right, so you know, a whole new 266 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:05.200 towns are reformed. Some of them are kind of etched 267 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.600 off of the map, and others are at it. I mean, 268 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.600 it's just it's almost like the positive side of the 269 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.919 Disney movie, you know. 270 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.519 So, yeah, it's weird. 271 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.720 In all my time working for the state doing this stuff, 272 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.879 I only got a call after that. One time we 273 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:25.879 had a set of storms come up the mountain. Four 274 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.480 tropical storms came one. 275 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.360 Right after another. So after about three weeks of just inundation, 276 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.320 everything let loose with the last one that came in. 277 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.039 And I got a phone call in the office. 278 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.120 This guy was a forensic engineer, and I said, well, 279 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.720 how's a forensic engineer involved in this? 280 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.759 He said, I'm just trying to get some rain records. 281 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.039 This is up around. 282 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.159 Ski resort called Seven Devils in the mountains of North Carolina, 283 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.600 rest of Boom and. 284 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.240 There was us when this rain started. They got I 285 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.360 think it was twenty. 286 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.240 Three inches of rain in just over twenty four hours. 287 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.680 That's a lot of water. And it cut through a creek. 288 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.720 It was so much water that it would actually erode 289 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.319 around trees and wash the tree. Now these are like 290 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.759 sixty foot pine trees. It would be washed out into 291 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.000 the middle of the ski slope from where the water 292 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.640 took them from where they were embedded. And so you've 293 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.880 got the sixty foot tree standing up in the middle 294 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.079 of the ski slope just on its own where the 295 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.160 water set it down. I mean, there's that much water 296 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.039 and force coming through there. And this lady had an 297 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.319 antique store next to a creek and the water got 298 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.160 out of creek and it just devastated the store, right, 299 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.799 And she was filing it on insurance, and she was blaming. 300 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:50.119 It on the ski sludge letting their. 301 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.759 Ponds opening up their bottom drains during a storm event. 302 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.920 And that's what you're supposed to do, to flush this 303 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.519 stuff downstream so it doesn't mess up with trout streams 304 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.799 at all. Anyway, followed the procedure. But these were little 305 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.279 teeny ponds, maybe four foot deep, and they used them 306 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.039 for making snow in the wintertime. You know, if you 307 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.960 can give us snow, you hook up your pumps and 308 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.000 your snow machines and you shot snow on the slopes 309 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:15.240 from these little reservoirs. 310 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.000 They weren't very big, no bigger than the footprint of 311 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.559 my house, and it's only about four foot deep. 312 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.359 Well, she was blaming it on them that, you know, 313 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.960 that was the damage, Not the twenty three inches of 314 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:26.920 rain that they. 315 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.119 Got, but this guy going out there and opening up the. 316 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.119 Bottom trains on these things so it would fluss all 317 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.880 the sediment out of them and give more storage. And 318 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.839 you know, you follow a procedure, get it during a 319 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.759 storm event, so the stuff flushes on down you don't 320 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.599 get damage to the truckers. Anyway, this forensic engineer was 321 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.920 going to recreate the event, and when we gave him 322 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.079 our rain data, he looked at it and he says, 323 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:51.599 I ain't say. 324 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:52.960 I think my client's met. 325 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.559 Trying to blame it on something, you know, trying to 326 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:02.559 blame the biblical flood on someone empty in the bathtub 327 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:04.480 was the equivalent. 328 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:09.160 Well, I mean that's probably just a brain. There's a 329 00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:10.400 lot of rain. 330 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.720 Yeah. And the funny part about it is, depending on 331 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:21.200 their particular perspective, right, they either sometimes they you know, 332 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:27.799 drastically misunderstand what it is. They think, oh wow, wait 333 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.960 a minute, we're not encoding properly. Oh boy, let's see 334 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:39.640 what happened here. Is it still running? Okay, we are 335 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:44.480 still running on our record channel, but apparently not broadcasting 336 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.680 anybody talking about it in the room at all. Now 337 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.039 all right, well let me. 338 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.799 See if I can just four people in the room. 339 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:55.240 Is there anybody still online? 340 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.480 Yeah? Do we have do we have a problem? Okay, 341 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:04.119 let me see here start from there. All right, streamer 342 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:11.319 is supposedly encoding, and according to this we are encoding 343 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.880 and broadcasting. Okay, so anything that you have missed via 344 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.440 the This is gonna be a hell of a this 345 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.680 is gonna be a hell of a reconnect and issue. 346 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:25.559 I'm not sure what we're going to get out of 347 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.440 all the archives and stuff here tonight. I'm just telling 348 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:33.759 you guys, because right now, yeah, I don't have a lot. 349 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.200 I'm gonna have to double check here. I know we've 350 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.480 been broadcasting a bit, but we're gonna go back over 351 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:43.920 this because we had a short period of time where 352 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.759 it said we were broadcasting and now we're not. So 353 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.279 those of you on the phone calls on the phone 354 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.759 lines right now might be the only people that heard 355 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.640 that whole discussion about the towers. And I got to 356 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.119 notice from where you from? I gotta notice ready for 357 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.920 this one from the Russian Federation. A listener in the 358 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.359 Russian Federation informed me in broken English, And I don't 359 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.400 blame you, dude for that at all, but thank you 360 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.960 for telling me that we weren't broadcasting any longer. So 361 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:25.319 according to my data, we are back to broadcasting. Okay, 362 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.680 sorry about that, Bpete. What the hell is going on 363 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.599 here today? Are we going to have a completely failed 364 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.680 circumstance or what?

This is 367 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:45.000 quite the interesting experiment to see if we can broadcast 368 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.200 when we're unsure what's going on. According to what I see, though, 369 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.160 we should be going to Sorry what. 370 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.759 I said, far you experiment.

They use the 389 00:22:54.119 --> 00:23:01.200 Little Green One, use propane tanks, sell them in California. 390 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:07.480 They have to be refillable now, mm hmm, which is 391 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.279 very expensive. 392 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.640 Finally, what to get the agenda whatever it is the 393 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.559 equipment or are you talking about passing the bill?

They're expensive, and then you have 399 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:43.480 to take it down and get it refilled, which is awkward. 400 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:47.880 Stores are going to have to put in propane transfer 401 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.039
