The Bill Myers Show podcast is sponsored by Klausur drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausor drilling.com. Looking for a bit of your help this morning. One of the talk with Terry Haynes about this. USNR retired, and he is the chairman of the Rogue Chapter number 1260 of the NCOA, the non-commissioned officers association. As you put it here, Terry, the E-1s through E-9s that get the job.

done, right? That's right. For those that don't know, and I've not been in the military and don't always understand the different ranks and such, what does it mean to be a non-commissioned officer versus a commission? Could you explain that to me? I've always wondered. Well, the enlisted, normally the non-commissioned officer core are the E4 through E9, and we decided that as an organization we were going to take all the enlisted because that's really what we do. And the commissioned officers are those who are the 01 through 010 that make the orders and make the decisions, and then they give the task to the enlisted, the commission or non-commissioned officers to execute their orders and get things done. And I'm sorry to be ignorant about this, but like I said, I've always wanted to ask someone this.

Can a non-commissioned officer be promoted to a commissioned officer, or is that separate clubs, so to speak? There are, once you make E7, then there's an opportunity to take a commission, either through the Warren Officer program or be selected to go to OCS. but I was faced for that decision and I decided that, you know, when I made E-9, I was at the top of the hill that I could climb and why would I want to go to the bottom of the hill? So I was happy because I can have more impact on people that I cared about as an enlisted Master Chief Petty Officer. Yeah, makes sense. All right. I could certainly understand not wanting to go back at the bottom rung again after doing all that work to get up to E9. I can appreciate that.

I really can. Now, you are the current large chapter of the year, are you not? So you're the big chapter, big dog in the States? Well, yeah, we've got over 400 members in our chapter. But the problem right now is that we have all these projects like Reese across America that we're working on. And through projects like that and veteran and our medallion program, we have become the large chapter of the year worldwide for seven out of the last eight years. No kidding. And I anticipate that we're probably going to do it again.

Well, you get stuff done here, Terry, and that's what we wanted to talk about this next project here, which is the wreaths across America. And you need help from the Rogue Valley tomorrow out at Eagle Point. National Cemetery. What is actually going on with this wreath project? Well, people have an opportunity. I went to a meeting in Roseburg and the county commissioner up there was talking about the impact that he saw when he drove by the VA cemetery in Roseburg and there was a wreath on every single grave. And this guy basically started tearing up and it really hit me. And we've got over 28,000 graves out at Eagle Point.

And last year we only had like 3,500 total wreaths. And they've got two different categories. You can order a reef to go on a specific grave, like your parents' grave, or someone that you served with, a friend, family member. Or you could just order a wreath to go on any grave. Well, last year they had 200. grave-specific wreaths that we have to walk around and find the grave and put the wreath on that grave. And this year they've got over 400, and we're just looking for bodies to come out and help us find this,

because it's a big cemetery, and we need people to help place these rees on the specific graves that were requested by the people that purchased them. so that's what we're doing tomorrow starting at 10 o'clock at the Eagle Point National Cemetery and so what you give us a map because Linda and I already agreed we're going to come out tomorrow you know with you at 10 o'clock so you hand us a map and then we have wreaths and then we go and just try to find the graves because yeah it's huge it's a huge area you're working to cover right and so it's it's going to take it's going to take time and it's going to take a lot of manpower because i mean they've

expanded across the the road there riley road uh they now have some of the graves over on the the west side of riley road so um yeah it's it's a big job it takes it's going to take several hours and the more people we have um the better uh we can get the job done quicker and then uh so i it's my work day i don't know if i can't speak spend the whole day there, but if I were to give an hour or two, would that work okay? Would that help at least? Every little bit helps. Okay. Yeah. So, and then on the 10th of January, we're going to have to pick them up and put them, you know, take care of them and we can't leave them there forever. So if you're able to help tomorrow at 10 a.m., we would love to have you come out and truly honor

the fallen. As a friend of mine once said, You know, we die once, but you die twice if you're forgotten. I agree. I'm kind of curious here. Is it too late to buy a wreath? Because I know that my mother-in-law, my late mother-in-law and late father-in-law are buried there. It's too late to buy them for this year. Okay.

But we're going to do it again next year. You know, we're going to get word, and maybe I can let you know when. there's a fund that, I think it'll sometime after the first of the year, that funds raised will be matched. And that's always a great way to really get a lot more money and a lot more Reese. If you've got somebody that's out there trying to match the funds that are donated during that particular window of opportunity. All right, Terry, it's good to know. So, well, we'll show up there. I'm hoping maybe the other KMETKBXG listeners show up.

So it's 10 o'clock tomorrow. And we just meet up at the office, right, when you first pull into the cemetery, in Eagle Point? That's correct. Okay. That's correct. And just bring your walking shoes, right? You'll have to do some walking, most likely. Most definitely.

Okay. Well, we'll get our steps in with you, Terry. Okay. Okay. Okay. And if you can mention this again in the next hour or so, I'd appreciate it because not everybody's on at this time. They get on when they get up. Okay.

I will make sure to do that. So this is Reiths across America. You've got 400 and you have to go to specific graves. And so it's a great opportunity to help the fallen and people who have contributed to this to get reeth on some of the various graves over at Eagle Point National Cemetery. So Terry Haynes, once again, Chairman of the Rogue 260, 1260, rather, of the Non-Commission Officers Association here in Southern Oregon. Terry, appreciate the call. Thanks again. Be well.

Thank you. God bless. soon. We'll catch you tomorrow morning over at Eagle Point National Cemetery. So Pure Talk is offering unlimited talk text and...com, Americanfederal.com. You're hearing the Bill Myers Show on 1063

KMED. It is conspiracy theory Thursday, but it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. You can just check in with your theory on the world, right? 770563-3-770KMD. By the way, tomorrow, once again, if you just missed it, Terry Haynes came on, rather,

NCOA and they are doing reeds across America is about 400 wreaths that have to be placed on military graves at the Eagle Point National Cemetery and Lyndon and I are going to go over there and help them out there they need help so 10 o'clock tomorrow and if you can show up there many hands make quick and light work of the whole thing and we'll have to find specific graves take our little maps I guess and then go and place the wreaths on these graves for families who ended up contributing to make that happen. Dave, your parents buried up there. Is it your mom? Are they both there right now? My dad, my stepmom was buried there first for my dad. And my dad was buried there in 2019 when he died. And, well, I have no way to go

there. My truck transmission is gone. By the way, have you had any luck finding that truck transmission at all? No. Okay. All right. Now, you know, every now and then I will let people abuse the power of broadcast. Okay. Now, you're someone there. You're a very modest means. It's a very modest social security that you're living on out there where the Klamathams were removed. And there's not a lot going on, okay? We know that. And you're out there. What is the type of truck transmission that you need because you never know. There may be somebody else you have, but it's one of those old six-cylinder fords, right?

right, the Ford F-150? Right, the six-cylinder, 91 Ford. There's about three billion of them on the road in one form or another. Okay. It's one that has the overdrive in it. I don't know. I guess there's several different types. I don't know which one is in it.

Well, is there any way you can take a look at that? Because, you know, trying to help, you know, and get you helped out there would be great. But we would need some specifics like, you know, if there's a transmission code on it or something, maybe, you know. I have no way to know. It's a 91 Ford. Well, no, could you crawl underneath it and take a look at it? That's what I'm asking. I could see if I could get a friend to figure out what kind it is.

When I called to buy a rebuilt one, they wanted $2,700. Really? I didn't have that. Well, let's see if we can just find a good use one sitting around here in someone's backyard. That happens sometimes. It does. Yeah, that's what I've been looking for. So, and I've got another friend looking for it.

All right. What I'm going to do, I'm going to look up where you find the transmission code. So if you can get a friend to crawl underneath that with a flashlight and good eyesight, sometimes you've got to chip away the grease to find it, you know, that kind of thing. Right. All right. All right. Well, when I had it serviced, a friend of mine serviced it, I bought all this stuff, and I called the parts house.

And I got the right stuff by describing it as the one with overstate. drive. Okay. Well, I'll tell you what, if we can try to find away our little, our kind of little radios Craigslist, we'll call it Bill's List instead of Craigslist, right? And unlike Craigslist, I won't have anybody trying to scam you on it, okay? Right. Yeah, well, yeah, I don't do Craigslist. I think a lot of people aren't these days. I've tried to avoid that. The moment you ever put something for sale up on Craigslist, I once had a Leslie speaker. That's what I was Leslie Speaker from the organ, you know, from the Hammond B3 organs that I was selling at that

point. It was big and it was loud. It was wonderful. I wish I'd kept it, but it was pretty big stuff. So you put it on Craigslist and then all of a sudden you get all those people that are reaching out. Oh, I have an agent who wants to buy it from you. And so they're going to send me a certified cashier's check and it'll be for $150 more than the cost of the speaker, I'll take the speaker, and then you give me the $150, and, of course, you know what's going on, Dave. It's just a... Yeah, it's a fake check.

Yeah, exactly. And it's like, no, I'm tired of that. We've done that. Good luck on that, Dave, and we'll see if anybody has that overdrive transmission, sitting in the back rusting someplace. I don't know, okay? Hi, good morning, KMED. This is Bill.

Who's this? Welcome. Yeah, this is Brian Weldon. I just wanted to thank you, Bill. for talking about the wreath across America at Eagle Cemetery. Oh, great, yeah. I went up there last, up there last year and the year before. I go up there with the old guard riders, their veterans' motorcycle group here in Grants Pass.

Yeah. And it's an awesome event. Yes, it's a lot of walking. It's a huge cemetery. But what impressed me the most was the young boys and girls. There's the young Marines club and some other look like, high school kids, and their respect for placing the wreath on the grave was absolutely beautiful. Is there a protocol for that?

Yeah, Brian, is there a protocol for that how you are to do it properly? Do you know? Can you help me on that? Yes. I watched them very closely, and they walk up to a grave, and the first thing they do is thank this veteran for their service. they salute the veteran, and then they walk on the sides of each grave, which is very narrow there, and they place it perfectly at the base of the headstone.

And the ribbon has to be at the top, so it's, you know, it's not crooked or, you know. And it's just, it's beautiful to watch these young kids do this. Glad to hear that, and thanks for sharing it. I imagine I'll see some of that tomorrow, and thanks for letting us know. Thank you, Brian. 770KMED. Go to next line. Hi, good morning.

This is Bill. Who's this? Morning, Bill. Lone Ranger here. Hey, Long Ranger. How you doing? Lovely. Hey, that transmission is going to be a Mazda 5-speed, and the trainee code should be

inside the door on that ID plate. Okay. Now, you know, you're going to make me. I think I'm kind of weird questioning, but so for a Ford F-150, it is a Mazda transmission, really? It is, yeah, the Mazda, well, Ford Mazda, same thing. Oh, that's right. And they're bomb-proof trannies. They're the best transmission probably ever made in a Ford.

No kidding. So the code should be inside the door, you're saying? Yeah, there should be a tranny code, diff code, paint code, there are all kinds of codes on there. You just have to figure out which is which. It should say transmission code. Okay. Or it's in a place that if you Google it, you'll see, okay, that's the trady code. All right, because with my Volkswagen van as an example, there is no code within the doors and such.

You have to drive underneath it, or get underneath it rather, chip away about 10 years worth of grace and grime to find it. You know, that kind of thing. If it's that aluminum firespe, that's the Mazda fire speed. They're great trannies. All right. Hey, appreciate the tip. Thank you for that. Be well.

732 at KMED, 993KBXG. Let me grab another line before news. Hi, good morning. Welcome. Oh, good morning, Bill. This is Francine. Francine, one of the members of the early morning Rises Club. How are you?

Oh, I'm good. Actually, I wake up so early sometimes I'm waiting impatiently for 6.11 to show up. Well, I appreciate that. What's on your mind? Well, the caller you had earlier talking about cholesterol and statins and all that, I sent you an email a few days ago. You may not have gotten it because I sent it from a different account. Is that the weird one that had your name, Francine, and I did save it. I did save that.

Oh, okay. Well, I just resent it, and I actually reformatted it, so it's really, really readable because I was having trouble. when you transfer from sub-stack, sometimes they're a pain in the butt to put in an email. But I, so I've re-sent it to you, and it's in a really good format, and I would like very much if you would offer to share that with people that need that information, like the gentleman who called this morning, it's an incredible article, and it just gives so much good information on statins and heart disease and how to take care of it naturally and so forth. And it's, yeah, because if I could, if I could do my best to avoid the pill, why not? You know, it's all right. Yeah, it's a great article. I really would like you to read it.

And then, like, if anybody wants it, pass it on to them. Speaking of Substack, do you read Thefocalpoints.com on Substack? No, I haven't. Okay, this is the one. What's the one is that? Yeah, this guy is Master of Public Health, Masters of Public Health. Nicholas Hulcher is his name, I believe. and it's an astounding one about natural cancer treatment.

And what they're finding out in this latest study is dandelion. This is the headline I'll give you. It's a fascinating read. I'd highly recommend everybody look at this up. Just head to the focal points.com. It'll take you to this substact. Dandelion root extract kills 95% of cancer cells in vitro and reduces human colon tumor growth. by over 90% in a mice study with zero toxicity.

Dandelion root extract, if you can believe that. A lot of people laugh about that. Dandelion is an excellent herb. I've used it for many years. And the truth is, once you start looking into alternative real medicine, the stuff that Rockefeller had made the schools quit teaching and so forth, you'll find there are so many different ways to handle things like Canada. and liver disease and et cetera, et cetera.

And it's not, there's not just, oh, this is the one natural way. Oh, no, this is. There's lots of them. Yeah. What they were talking about, though, with dandelion root, especially with bowel cancer, colon cancer, is how it is so effective at multiple pathways of shrinking tumors. And it was just a fascinating read.

It's about eight, nine pages, but well worth it. And they put the studies in there. It's really interesting stuff, I thought. Okay. Yeah. Well, like I say, there's a lot of good stuff out there, and people need to become aware of it because the medical industry, and that's what it is. It's an industry. It's not there to help us. It's there to make money. Yeah. And here it is. I'm trying to kill Danny Lyons in the summertime. What was I thinking? I should have been chewing on them, you know? Okay. One caveat. When I say that, I do not mean to insult the people that are working in there that really care. It's not my intent by that. I'm talking about. talking about the people up at the top.

But, you know, a lot of times I'm thinking, boy, you know, if you end up taking the, you know, the standard, you know, medical industry approach on something, you combine it with some of these other demonstrable therapies that people seem to be working with, boy, kind of a one-two punch, too. It would be very helpful, wouldn't you think? Couldn't hurt. Yeah.

That's what I'm saying. There's so much out there that we can do just to keep ourselves healthy without having to rely on the pharmaceutical industry, you know, big pharma. Yeah. They're very evil. They're like, you know, that's the great. You know, I cannot say that. I cannot, I cannot tar any industry with a, with a blanket statement like that, because I look at what happened with my sweetie, you know, back in the day. And I,

I forget which, which, which company it was, but it was, and, and this was after having, the first chemotherapy not working, and actually just having the rebound. and it knocked it down, and she's still here, years later, and Linda wouldn't have been here. I know. So I can't just... I understand. I've had some help from actual medication, but I tend to avoid it mostly. But the thing is, I mean, you could be a Boy Scout and help the little old lady across the street, you know, during the day, and then at night, you go home and you put on your black turtleneck and your black mask, and you go and you break into the little old lady's house.

And you're smashing windows. Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. I mean, doing one good thing doesn't make all the bad things you do okay. And I wasn't claiming that, but still, I just can't, but you see, I just can't also tar the bad behavior of some with, I can't tar everybody with that same brush. I know. I just had the option of doing, you know, spending some time trying to get rid of the cataracts in my left eye naturally for having the surgical option.

and I went with the surgical option. I mean, I'm 75 years old. I don't know how long it would take to clear them. I want to see better. And so I just went with that one. All I would suggest, though, is that if somebody on Craigslist suggests, hey, meet me in the parking lot and the van's running and we'll give you free, you know, free, you know, very inexpensive cataract surgery. Don't do that, okay? Well, okay, I promise.

All right, thanks. Can you afford to die in Oregon? I know everybody talks about the cost of living in Oregon. the cost of dying in Oregon? We'll have a conversation about that next. I think you'll find it stimulating. If you're remodeling your house, start with the foundation. And download the meeting guide app. Hi, I'm Cassie from Clauser drilling, and I'm on KMED. 744. I mentioned before the news break that everybody talks about the cost of living, the affordability issue in Oregon. But have you talked about or ever thought about the cost of dying? Well, Dave Schott,

joins me and he brought my attention to Steve is it doing or dwin he's a guy used to write for the Oregonian maybe he still writes for the Oregonian but Dave is an interesting guy I wanted to bring him on because he's an interesting story an interesting past and it kind of connected with this cost of dying story that he referenced Dave you are currently a lumber broker but boy you've done a lot of other things too tell you about about some of that please well Well, I was born in Medford many years ago, managed a pack station at Lake of the Woods in the summers while I was in college, drove a tour bus up the Alaska Highway. While I was in law school, graduated law school, became a deputy DA in Medford and prosecuted

for three plus years. And figured I liked the people in the lumber business a whole lot better than I like some of the people in the attorney business. And I've been selling lumber across the country for 40, probably 46 years now. So you've been, yeah, lumber broker then. Interesting. How is that looking right now? Is it going to get to the point where it makes reopening, logging on public land more attractive? Or, you know, if you're talking about private timber, maybe private timber wants to keep the public land locked up, any thoughts on that? Just curious. Well, locally, you know, we don't have a sawmill left in either Jackson or Josephine County.

Yeah. We grow on the public lands alone about 1.5 billion board feet annually. Those are figures based out of 2002 from the Forest Service and the BLM. And we are harvesting off the federal lands about 1.5% of annual growth, which is just made catastrophic fire situation inevitable. Yeah. In other words, we think it is morally superior to burn it in the summer or else hire people to go up there and not harvest it,

but clean it a little bit now and then. No, the collaborators? Yeah. The long-term implications are a lot of people are so severely affected by the smoke that's given off by the forest fires. and we know people have died across the country because of the pollution in the air from forest fire smoke. But we're worried about carbon from a pickup truck. Okay, got it.

All right. We'll set that aside here at the moment because a fascinating article that you brought to my attention on the Oregon Journalism Project. And Steve D-D-W-N-D-D-U-I-N? doing. Okay, Steve. Steve doing. Okay. Some people pronounce the dean, but yeah. And he's been around for a long time. He's an excellent writer. And it had to do with the estate tax and something which doesn't get talked about nearly enough here in Southern Oregon. Because here's the email you sent me. Me, I was born and raised here, have spent my entire life here other than four years in England. And I'm being forced into leaving this state. And why are you being forced to leave this state? And why are you being forced to leave this state?

state. And there may be other Dave shots out there feeling the same way about this, Dave. Love to hear it. There are many. The estate taxed in the state of Oregon kicks in at a million dollars. The first million dollars of your estate is not taxed. Anything over that is taxed at a minimum of 10 percent. And frankly, you know, you have a nice house in southern Oregon and you're halfway there to a million dollars. I've been working for 61 years. has been paying into Social Security for 61 years. Do not have a lavish lifestyle. I've been able to be somewhat successful.

And frankly, I don't know if the privilege of living in Oregon is worth a six-figure tax upon my demise. Yeah. And you were saying that more people are beaten feet because of this. And I didn't realize that it's – and Steve illustrates that. It's on the Oregon Journalism Project.org website, most states don't have an estate tax. And when somebody dies, only federal taxes are imposed on their assets. And the United States has a pretty good exemption, I guess, to an extent, does? Do you know what the federal...

I'm not even anywhere near that million dollars, so I haven't given it much thought. You know, but... The federal is about $13 million. Okay. You don't get tax until, you know, you make over, or you've got over $13 million a state. But in Oregon, you get taxed once you hit a million dollars in the state. Yeah, $1 million. And we are like, I guess, the lease.

And by the way, it hasn't been adjusted for inflation for a long time, too. The next one is 1.8. That's Rhode Island. Connecticut, you know, we're thinking about these East Coast liberal bastions. They're at $15 million before they end. charging any estate tax. Of course, I have a problem with the estate tax in general because the estate has been taxed all along and then just to, you know, leave it to an error all of a sudden, it, you know, then you have to give Uncle Sam or Salem a part of that. To me, to me it's just

immoral, but I know some might disagree with me on that. Well, we've already been taxed on all the income at some point along the way. So it's double taxation at its worst. And, you know, when you think of having worked for 60-plus years, and, you know, it's, I wouldn't say it's easy to accumulate, but if you look at a house and some of your possessions and things, it's not that hard to get to a million-dollar estate. And you have a car, well, let's just say you have a typical house here in Southern Oregon with an acre of land, no, but maybe a horse acre or a five-acre plot or something like that. You can hit a million easy, couldn't you?

Oh, yeah, you're three-quarters of the way there, if not all the way there. Yeah. And so you die, and unless there's some other, well, are there any ways to structure this? You went to law school. Maybe could you put a home in a trust in order to keep that from happening or find some other way of bypassing Salem or have they figured out such simple tricks? I'm sorry to be a little ignorant about this. I'm just asking you. You don't bypass Salem.

You're going to get tax on the value of your state. Now, it goes to your wife if she lives longer than you do, but at some point, she's going to, you know, her estate is going to be taxed at that amount as well. The only thing you can do is start giving it away to your children and grandchildren and various charities and try and get below that million dollar figure, but you can't afford to do that for fear of getting sick, and all of a sudden you're going to need a lot of money to take care of medical expenses. Yeah, you can't necessarily give it all the way if you think you might need it. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, Dave. Has there been any talk about reforming this to your knowledge? Because we are the only state. We are the greediest state in the entire country when it comes to taxing death, the death tax.

Kevin Manning's actually working on an initiative petition getting signatures to put it on the ballot next November to try and do away with estate tax. The, you know, the concern right now is that so many people have left this state that are fairly well-heeled, and I've got at least, oh gosh, seven or eight friends in the last six years that have left primarily because either the weather and the estate tax or just the estate tax. And they've gone to, you know, more friendly climbs like Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming would be the best, but unfortunately, it's pretty cold there in the wintertime. I like Wyoming. There's just something about the way Wyoming looks every time I've driven through it,

that I kind of look at that as a dream place, in my view. Something tells me it must feel the same way. Yeah, my sister and her husband lived there for years. Her husband still does. My sister died recently. But, yeah, it's a... I like Wyoming. It's just too darn cold in the wintertime.

And there's no way to make a lot of money in my job there, you know, in my broadcasting field. Yeah, forget about it, you know. Yeah, go to work for the, you know, the 500-watt daytimeer, you know, in Cheyenne or something like that. But anyway, that's really interesting. I'm glad to know that Manix is looking to do this because I never, you know, all this time I've lived in Oregon, I didn't realize that we were such a death tax greedy state. and yet that's something else, yet another nail in the coffin that gets good people just pulling up roots and leaving rather than staying here and contributing. And by the way, maybe that wealthy and doing some good here in Southern Oregon, if they wanted to do something different, even if it was, you know, create another business.

Well, you don't want to create too big of a business because once again you die and you've got to give a good chunk of it to Salem, right, Dave? It's what we're looking at here. Well, until we have better governance, governance in this state, we have a problem. And I don't envision that happening because I think the public employee unions control the state right now. Hey, we have public employee unions that are now going to be running the library, too, from the sounds of it. Yeah, I saw that. Isn't that great? Yeah.

Oh. And I love the library. I think libraries are wonderful. You know, I think communities need them. I use it all the time. But, yeah. Unfortunately, all the institutions, including public libraries, have been taken over by the agenda. That's just no other way of putting it.

And that's why I've not been a supporter of the public library, not because public libraries aren't being, aren't needed or couldn't perform. But I just look at them going down political agendas way too often and using taxpayer, money to do it, Dave. That's how I see it, at least. And I could not disagree. All right. Dave, I appreciate you bringing attention to this one. So Oregon Journalism Project.org and Steve Duhn, the Oregon Journalism Project is a great one. Only 13 states have an estate tax. Oregon imposes it the quickest. And yet another reason why some changes are needed up in Salem.

Dave, I appreciate you sharing that. Be well. You're more than welcome. I hope you'll find a way to stay and keep working around here, okay? I think what would eventuate would be that if we do move, we would probably keep a place here, establish residency elsewhere, and keep a place here for four or five months. Is it one of those things where you can stay up to like 180 days, and then after that you're considered an Oregon resident? You have to be out of state for half a year and a day.

All right. And declare residency in that state. And then the state of Oregon sort of looks, you know, in a scan set, that kind of situation. They'll still come after you. You've got to be able to prove it. All right. So you have to take a picture of you with a time date stamp and the date behind you, a newspaper, if you can find that, or whatever it is, and you're getting on the plane, and you're leaving.

See, I'm gone. And we've waiting with my Mai Tai in hand, yes. All right, very good. Dave Schott, I appreciate the call. Thanks for being on this morning, okay? You bet. 756 at KMED. I never realized.

I did not, of all the things, I knew Oregon was a little bit weird on some stuff. I just never realized that they went after you as soon as you hit a million bucks in. It doesn't take long to hit a million in real estate around here. Do a quick home health check. Have you noticed sloping floors, sticking windows or doors that?
