DRAFT regulations of that sign. Correct. Before he hired a company to put that sign up, he knew Yeah. The dimensions. And the code is there for a reason. You know, Boston is a kind of a quaint little town. And for the most part, you know, it has some nice character. When the code was written, I'm sure that that was taken into consideration as far as heights of signs and, you know, the animation and all the stuff that can go into a sign these days. All the business owners must go by the same code. So, my question I was going to ask him if he would have been here was, you know, what is special that you need to sign higher than any other business owner in town? Do you have higher snow piles than anybody else? Do you have better merchandise that I don't know. That was my question. Why should you have special treatment, I guess? Why are you looking for something that is out of the code? So that would have been my question had he been here. Anybody have anything else to say? Especially a sign right before a bend. Right. Where your attention should be on the road, I guess, is instead of an animated sign or whatever. Is there anybody else who would like to speak or not speak?
