So he's somewhere in the area, possibly on a bike. We could have the drone unit come out here and, uh, sweep Saylor Park. It'd be great. Just for the guys in the area, for now. Okay. I've got, uh, the drone unit working on that, trying to get somebody down there if you want. Um, I know we have quite a few people down there, but I can see if Hamilton County has anything going on in Addison or if they want to roll back. Can you roll over and help us out?
