Tape 47/14 And I'll just confirm that the - that disturbance over the So - Solomon Islands is an awfully tightly wound little storm system. And right now, I finally have see New Zealand for the first time in a couple of days, for sure. And the South Island's got some, probably high cirrus over it. North Island looks pretty clear.

It works every time, if you want to wake him up. CMP No. I think that's not a good way. CC Ron, everybody I s fine over at El Lago. They are doing great. Listening to every word. CMP Very good, Bob.

Closer to the center window now. 02 20 56 52 cc Roger. 02 21 01 07 LMP Houston, 17,
