But, two. 3 higher, 1682, outside to quality italia and markets. Italian sovereign bonds, dropping quite a lot as italy is the epicenter for the coronavirus in europe.

It did not happen. Here in the parking lot now the reason why. This is why we see them here in the parking lot is because technically the driver did leave the scene and then came back now preliminary investigations is telling us that the boss of bicycle this was on bryce. Road right over here and got hit from behind somewhere and this area here just south of this driveway. Now the as i mentioned the driver technically did leave the scene continue driving.

Mills told me that by the end of this week, he thought he would have something in shape to come down and discuss with you that he could present in the way of a packet that could be of interest. I told him i had read some articles lately that were a little bit disturbing that indicated something that was happening on the medicare and, indeed that, well, you know better than to the attention to those stories, and i said, i agree with you, wilbur.
