That might be a bigger spot. Point well taken. I think we could do an investigation on that. Thank you very much. They are very open. I did have a couple things on the commission, though. As i mentioned last meeting, i watched that seven part series, it was made in 2006, a video on government t. V. Somebody will know the name of that series, but there is a seven part series. Are you talking about the battalion . It is about the Fire Department and all the things you do. It is under the title it was fascinating. I learned so much.
