From the transcript
Um, and I think I resonated with some folks because I've had more conversations with AGDC folks and Glenfarm folks in the last couple of weeks than I've had in the last year. And, um, so I think that's positive. And, um, I did get word today, um, actually last night, um, the 18th, the gas line folks are going to be bringing I don't know their number. They're bringing 4 aircraft in. They originally wanted to bring in 8 aircraft, and I had to inform them that on the 18th, on the 18th of May, for a site visit, and they're going to have a meeting at our visitor center.
