That one will be time to do the norm. Go on. It's copy an Aetown of 390, David, from the Circle K-15, West Southern Ave. It'll be referenced IR 8-8-28-237, station clear in 1909. Number 21, 10-50, info. If you are 21, info is closed, I can take your traffic. That complaint is actually right, that light switched pretty quickly and the countdown timer goes to 23 and then it's stuck on 23 and then just switches to a red light. We'll have to put in the call for service to streets and have that reset. Just... However 22. Do you what? Like 47 Victor at the Sinosa suite, 5075.
