update on the decision on dungeness crab season. plus. >> okay, stealing the show. >> who is this liz trombone player going viral for this performance at a wedding? >> so you need to leave. >> this is no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. keep them. oh. he got down low on it i want that chaotic energy at any event so do i. i am at you know what? >> i'd invite him to my funeral. >> oh my gosh. >> what? tear it up. >> tear it up. this is how reggie would have wanted it. this is how reggie, would you. >> it's a party. do the splits. celebrate my life on this friday, december 6th. >> we're going to go straight to drew. you had a day yesterday. we. i was glued to the tv listening to every word you were saying. yeah. >> for a lot of people, that tsunami warning came at about

1045 yesterday morning. things have calmed down since then, but we're still tracking those aftershocks off the northern coast this morning. here locally. we haven't felt any of those aftershocks, thankfully. what we are seeing this morning, clear skies and some cold temperatures, 30s and 40s in solano county, right now, 47 in hayward, down to 39, though in santa rosa, 45. that current temperature in san jose. so sky conditions out there right now, most of our reporting sites saying clear skies. but we do have some areas of fog in the north bay. we'll zoom on in a little bit closer from santa rosa down to novato. you can see we have some reduced numbers here as some of that fog has developed, it will linger through about the 8 a.m. hour this morning. so looking at the coastline, another beautiful day. lots of sunshine will get you into the low 60s today around the bay shoreline. it feels warm for december mid to upper 60s. a few spots in the low 70s with that full sunshine and inland still above average. just like the past couple of days have been. those numbers back into the mid and upper 60s later on today. let's check on

the roads this morning with amanda. good morning. hi, drew. >> we'll start off with our overall map. still pretty green across the bay area, but we do have some slowdowns that we want to get to specifically in san jose. northbound 101 after oakland road, there are several vehicles involved in this crash. one vehicle is actually facing the wrong way in the right lane, and traffic is backed up to 680. you can see speeds down to about ten miles per hour there, and then our san jose 101 8-80 cam right after this crash. the drive looks good, though. if you're heading into sunnyvale, that's the good news. and into the peninsula. headlights, of course, are heading in the san francisco direction. >> while you were sleeping, we were tracking the situation in humboldt county overnight. more aftershocks rattled the area after that powerful earthquake off the coast yesterday morning. you're looking at the usgs earthquake map. the red dots are earthquakes that happened in the last hour. the orange happened in the last day. and you can see how many there have been. that 7.0 magnitude earthquake caused intense shaking in humboldt county. look at how much this

home is rocking. it caused stoplights to sway in eureka and hundreds of miles away in butte county, water was sloshing out of pools here in the bay area. the quake triggered a tsunami warning that caused people to run away from the coast. the warning was over in about an hour, and fortunately, no damage here. >> governor newsom declared a state of emergency to get resources to impacted areas. more quickly. the epicenter of that quake was off the coast of humboldt county, and while we haven't heard of any injuries, the earthquake disrupted life for many people living up there. the quake was so strong it sent employees at rio del city hall running for cover. it also caused a large crack in the road. this is the city hall video that we were just referencing. and then it caused a large crack in the road and nearly $5,000 worth of damage at one store in the two hours after the massive quake, there were 35 aftershocks. >> we're all a little on edge because you never know when there's another one. i mean, it

could be a week, it could be ten days. it could be not at all. but when a big one like that rolls through, you're always on edge for a little while afterwards. >> and there were also reports of broken water pipes and a gas leak at a school, but no major reports of damage. >> the earthquake and tsunami warning impacted bay area transit. bart, muni, and samtrans all made changes to respond to the earthquake and tsunami warning. other transit agencies say they didn't have any service impacts, and because of the san francisco zoo's proximity to the coast, officials decided to close out of an abundance of caution with sky seven overhead yesterday. >> you see, there was no one to be found. the zoo issued a statement saying, quote, guests have been evacuated. animals secured, and staff have moved to higher ground. >> san francisco's hyde street pier was closed for several hours yesterday morning, even after the tsunami warning was canceled. rangers had to inspect the site before allowing tourists back into the national historic park. craft boaters at fisherman's wharf jumped into action when the alert came in.

one fisherman described the danger as their boats would face if a tsunami actually happened while they were still attached to the pier. >> you could sink boats, you know. you could rip boats apart, rip, rip, rip the side rails off of boats. we've seen boats submerged at docks before from tsunami surges. >> the man you just heard from, michael cooley, says police boats passed by urging voters to leave the docks. nearly a dozen boaters did that. they went to the middle of the bay until they were given the all clear to return. abc news has been. abc seven news has been covering the developing news since the earthquake hit, and the tsunami warning was sent out. we've also stayed on top of the impact here in the bay area. when breaking news happens, you can find us on tv on abc seven news.com and on the abc seven bay area app. wherever you stream. >> new developments in the school shooting that happened in butte county earlier this week. officials released the names of the victims in the shooting, six year old roman mendez and five year old elias wolford. investigators have also identified the shooter. abc news

reporter rhiannon ali explains there is also a clearer picture of his motives for the attack. >> authorities say the suspect who opened fire at this christian elementary school north of sacramento, california, wednesday had a long criminal history and was mentally ill. the victims include six year old roman mendez. he suffered two gunshot wounds and five year old elias wolford. a bullet traveled through his chest and abdomen. his family says he's now on a ventilator. >> the fact that they are currently still with us, i thin, is a miracle and something that we should all be very thankful for. shots fired. >> 207 cox lane between highway 70 and stimson road. >> police say the shooter, 56 year old glenn linton, took an uber to the school after setting up a meeting with the principal about enrolling a student, but they say it was all a ruse. linton seen here, his hand inside his jacket, concealing a handgun. >> after that, he pulls the firearm and initiates his

attack. >> police say linton turned the gun on himself after shooting the boy. his criminal history dates back decades and includes identity theft, fraud and forgery. investigators say while suffering from severe mental illness, he may have targeted the christian school in response to america's involvement in the middle east. >> how it was that he conflated what's going on in palestine and yemen with the seventh day adventist church. i can't speculate. >> police say linton had also scheduled a similar meeting with an affiliated school in another town. as for those two boys, they remained in critical condition last night. rhiannon ally, abc news, new york. >> new developments crews have capped a broken sewage line that spewed millions of gallons of wastewater into an east bay marsh. the leak was near the shore acres pump station in bay point. the delta diablo sanitation district says the broken line was discovered monday, and it was giving off quite a stench. the district

says corrosion caused the pipeline to fail. testing is being done to make sure the water is safe and that nothing has damaged the environment. >> 608 this morning in the accuweather forecast. get you going with this day planner over the next several hours. we're starting clear and chilly out there. temperatures in the 40s. so it is a colder start today compared to yesterday morning. by 9 a.m. we're back into the 50s and then closer to 11 a.m. we'll get those temperatures warming into the 60s. here's live doppler seven along with satellite. another quiet day across california. you may be wondering where are the storms? where is the storm track? it's so far to our north. you look around vancouver. that is where the storm track is, right now. later this month, probably the middle part of the month, we'll find that storm track dipping a little bit more to the south. and that's when we could find some storms moving in our direction. likely around the 14th or the 15th of the month. but today it's all about december sunshine. we're warming up by noon into the 60s. it feels nice around lunchtime. and

calling for a fantastic friday. warm and sunny. that is just how the week has been. and that's how we'll end it today over the weekend. we do have a few changes. you'll notice additional cloud cover in the sky. it's a partly cloudy saturday and sunday with some cooler temperatures, but both days they are dry. so the weekend is going to be nice. our next chance of rain the next significant chance begins on the 14th. let's show you that on future weather. we stay dry for much of next week. it's next weekend. here you go. the 14th. we see our next significant storm move into the west coast. i think the heaviest rain is probably to our north. we're looking at lighter showers here locally, but again, once this storm exits, another one will likely arrive on the 16th or 17th. so the middle of the month becomes a lot more active than we have been for the past couple of days, but it has certainly been a warm start to the month. look at napa for example. since the first on sunday, temperatures have been above average by about 7 to 8 degrees on some days. other areas have seen ten degrees above average and this calendar is going to fill in with more red for much

of next week. not until next weekend. we see those storm chances start to increase. we find significantly cooler weather moving in here. so the day planner today. some patchy fog in the north bay early on. sunrise here at 711. it's a lot of sunshine today. warm december afternoon. low 60s to the low 70s. so enjoy. get out there. 66 in oakland. about 65. in the city, a warm 71 in san jose for this time of year. 67 in san rafael. the same in concord. overnight tonight we'll find partly cloudy skies. our coldest areas. upper 30s. lower 40s. we'll find mid 40s to the low 50s around the bay shoreline. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. december warmth today. cloudier and cooler here on saturday. that continues sunday as well. we're back to full sunshine on monday and we'll keep it dry tuesday and wednesday guys. >> all right drew thank you. >> now let's turn to ginger zee. she's live with a look at what's coming up on gma. >> good morning ginger. >> hey reggie. >> amanda great to be with you.

it's friday so we're going to start here with the fast moving developments in the hunt for that suspect in the health care killing, including new images of the suspect and what aaron katersky is learning about how he moved leading up to the shooting. also, i'm going to track the latest on your state of emergency after that powerful 7.0 earthquake. drew, great job covering. i was watching it all. the largest in three decades. we're going to go through all of the pictures, the aftershocks and that tsunami warning. also, it's the end of an era. taylor swift is bringing her eras tour to a close. if you can't be in vancouver, we're going to tell you about the events across the country and around the globe. also, we're going to hear from some people who say, taylor swift changed my life and get ready for some potentially new music. also, just 19 days until christmas, lori bergamotto bringing us the right stuff for personalized gifts and a time saver for you. if you're entertaining and you love cookies and you don't have time fully to bake, we'll dress them up for you. >> oh, i see. >> okay, we had time to bake in

my nda is up and ginger is using her platform to speak out on the important issues. >> and we and we stand behind her in solidarity. >> yeah, like you don't have time. fine. do that. just like don't enter it. you can't get third place with that. >> wow. name, name name. >> i did, and i think i did on tv today. >> yes, it will be good enough. >> watch ginger out her fellow colleagues today at seven on gma. ginger, we nominate you for employee of the year. we'll see you at seven. >> don't mess around. >> do not when you have moderate to severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the number one prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema.

it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within. many adults saw 90% clearer skin. some even achieved long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief after first dose. severe allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for face, mouth, tongue, or throat swelling, wheezing or trouble breathing. tell your doctor of new or worsening eye problems like eye pain, vision changes, or blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma or other medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your eczema specialist about dupixent.

in the east bay is shutting down permanently. the federal correctional institute in dublin was temporarily closed months ago following an fbi raid in march that came after the arrests of several officials linked to sexually abusing incarcerated women. since then, the bureau of prisons completed an assessment and found extensive repairs are needed to reopen the facility. because of that, and staffing challenges, the bureau says it won't reopen the facility. the bureau has also deactivated several other prisons across the country for

abuse, decay and mismanagement. a decision about when commercial dungeness crab season might start has been delayed again. we expected a possible announcement from the california department of fish and wildlife yesterday, but officials now say they need more time to assess the risk. crab traps could pose to migrating humpback whales. they say there are too many whales off the bay and off the coast of northern california. officials are expected to reassess the situation next week. dungeness crab season has historically started in early november, but it's been delayed in recent years because of those threats to whales, as well as concerns over a toxin that could sicken anyone who eats the tainted crab. and talk about the power of media. disney ceo bob iger has been honored with the ad council's award for public service. he was joined on the red carpet in new york city last night by some colleagues from disney. abc and espn, including robin roberts and desmond howard. you see them there. the ad council is a nonprofit

organization that helps educate people with campaigns like smokey bear. iger was honored for the walt disney company's partnership with the ad council and its work with make-a-wish. disney, of course, is the parent company of abc seven. next, at 630, ending service. why? one major airline is saying goodbye

abc seven mornings live now at 630. >> preparing for a tsunami warning. you got the alert on your phone yesterday. so what should you do when that happens? we're going to hear from officials on the actions you need to take. >> the san francisco zoo's panda plan. we have a sneak peek at the designs for the animals habitat, and it could save the city millions of dollars, plus, we'll get you up to stop the world just to solve the feeling. >> spotify's wrapped mapped the most streamed songs in san francisco this year. >> wasn't it just like that mission bop thing where they figured out who was listening to what? >> where? oh, i love that. >> yeah. good morning everyone. it is friday, december 6th. >> yeah. first we're going to check your forecast. how's it look? >> it's fantastic. you guys today another warm december afternoon. a live look outside from our tam cam. unlike yesterday when we were dealing

with cloudy skies to start, we are clear out there this morning. and that is allowing temperatures to start off on a colder note compared to this time yesterday. we're about 5 to 8 degrees cooler, right now compared to yesterday morning, down to 38 in santa rosa, 37 in fairfield, down to 41 in danville. good morning. san mateo, 47. a little bit warmer in the city and in oakland. we're coming into the low 50s to get you going on this friday. we do have some pockets of fog that have developed in our valleys in the north bay. santa rosa, down to about a mile and a half. fairfield even lower than that. so just be aware that this fog will linger through about the 8 a.m. hour after 8 a.m. it's sunny skies everywhere. we have temperatures along the coast going into the low 60s. feels very nice close to the ocean, around the bay shoreline. it's going to be another warm one for this time of the year. mid and upper 60s. a few spots may even touch 70 later on today, and our inland forecast equally as nice. we'll keep it sunny after a chilly start in the 40s. we'll get you into the 60s about 5 to 10 degrees above average. let's look at the roads with amanda.

good morning. >> hi, drew. we'll start in san jose. northbound 101 after oakland road. several vehicles are involved in this crash. a tow truck has picked up the wrong way vehicle that was in the right lane. but traffic still sluggish. you can see speeds down to about 12mph. then i'll take you to the bay bridge toll plaza. lights flipped on at around 541 this morning. traffic is backing up past the parking lot. at this point, delays continue across the span into the city, and your drive time there 45 minutes from highway four into san francisco and you won't see this on your screen. but there is a big rig on fire on the shoulder at the altamont pass. westbound 580 right after the 205 split. so just keep that in mind. >> the search for the suspect accused of shooting and killing the ceo of united health care in new york is now in its third day. police released new clear surveillance images of the man they say killed brian thompson on wednesday. police have not revealed a motive, but they found clues that may point to a grudge against the health insurance industry. we told you yesterday morning shell casings with the words deny, defend,

depose written on them were found at the crime scene. now that echoes the title of the book. delay. deny. defend. why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you can do about it. >> i think this shooter is trying to send a message that someone, either himself or a loved one, or someone close to him, has been harmed by by this insurance company. >> police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. >> just a glimpse at that for us. now to the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit northern california. the video showing yesterday's quake rocked this home in fortuna in humboldt county. fortuna is less than 50 miles from the epicenter. aftershocks have been happening all night. >> fortunately, we didn't see a lot of human damage as a result of this. not a lot of people

hurt, but in a funnier moment, a lighter moment. a robotic vacuum cleaner. apparently disconnected from its base, left its house and roamed the streets. it gave neighbors a good laugh as the commotion was settling down. >> or the robots are alive and they're taking over. well, we do want to give you a recap of what happened yesterday. at 10:44 a.m, a big earthquake hit off the coast of humboldt county. it was initially reported as a 6.0, but the usgs revised the magnitude to 7.0. some people here in the bay area felt the shaking. five minutes later, at 10:49 a.m, the national weather service issued a tsunami warning. that warning stretched 500 miles from oregon, all the way down to near santa cruz. the tsunami was predicted to hit san francisco at 12:10 p.m. people around coastal areas of the bay started evacuating and heading to higher ground. but at 11:54 a.m, the tsunami warning was canceled because big waves

didn't form. >> people in the bay area were left wondering what to do. moments after the earthquake and the tsunami alert and as you can see, many people quickly hit the road along the san mateo coastline. they were seeking higher and safer ground. others in san francisco went to coit tower, the highest spot in the north beach neighborhood. the director of the california governor's office of emergency services says that they had the right idea. >> they did the right thing in this situation. a seven magnitude earthquake is not a small earthquake, and it could have been devastating. sometimes when the earthquake happens a little further out, there are buoys that give us some indication of how big the waves might be. in this case, we didn't have that data. >> tsunami experts say it's too early to tell how big a potential tsunami would be following a quake as strong as yesterday's, but they say we should always stay prepared and cautious, and it's a good time to ask yourself, are you prepared for an earthquake? do you have a kit? have you made a plan? if you need help, check

out abc7 news.com/prepare norcal. >> new at six. the san francisco zoo is sharing details about its habitat for the two giant pandas coming to the city. our media partners at the sf standard got an exclusive sneak peek of the plan. the zoo says instead of building a brand new panda zone, it will remodel an existing lion habitat. the habitat was home to visiting pandas four decades ago, so the zoo says it's largely panda ready. the project will cost $8 million instead of the $20 million needed to construct a new habitat from the ground up. >> that does not include renting the pandas every year. by the way. new this morning, jetblue airways is cutting service to san jose and other cities in an effort to reduce costs and refocus on profitable routes. the airline is also getting rid of flights between new york's jfk airport and miami. it's also suspending some service to europe. that's according to our media partners at the mercury news. jetblue has been cutting service after its bid to acquire

exchange to see how they're reacting. and so far, not much of a reaction. we're up about 72 points. the golden state valkyrie's expansion draft tips off tonight. you can watch it on our sister network espn. >> and we talked with the president of the valkyries, jess smith, about the excitement over the team's inaugural season, how the draft works, and a possible mascot. for those of us who maybe aren't familiar now have our attention on the wnba. what is all kind of going into the draft today? >> yeah, this is a huge day for us. we've been building this team since last october, when the golden state ownership group earned the rights to bring a team here to the bay area, and it was just in may that we announced our team name and the golden state valkyries and everything that went into that. but this is the first moment that we actually get to talk about players. our incredible general manager, ohama, has been hard at work, and in this moment, what we have the opportunity to do is actually take a player from every other wnba team. if we choose to, there's a couple of other pieces with that. we start with

expansion free agency gets to us in january and february, and then we'll have the college draft in april before tipping off in may. >> you have so much good juju on your side. first of all, you have sold a lot of tickets going into this season. so that's number one. you have the support of the community. the second thing is you just mentioned your gm. your gm doesn't just come from any team. your gm is coming from the new york liberty, who, by the way, just won the championship for the wnba. it seems like you're in a good spot. jess, i'm surrounded by really incredible people, everyone from this ownership group who is relentless in their pursuit of winning. >> to that, you mentioned, you know, not only coming from the liberty where she was a big part of what that team accomplished this year. but in her work globally with usa basketball player and coach natalie nakase, who we announced recently as well, who won two championships with the las vegas aces. so we have expectations here. we're certainly building something special. but you mentioned the most important thing for us, and that really is the fans and the community. you know, the bay area is a special market. we all

know that. everyone looks to us to see how we treat people. what comes next in this world. and we really take that responsibility greatly, especially representing the wnba and how our fans have lined up for over 20 000 seat deposits. we now have very limited seats left in our premium inventory. we're beginning that general seat conversion here shortly. it's really remarkable. >> yeah, and just with that actively growing valkyrie's fan base, can you give us a little insight? what is the strategy here? we don't want to give it all away. obviously ahead of the draft. but what is the strategy kind of entering it? >> we're building a culture and we're building a culture of winning, you know, from day one. so when they come in to be a part of the valkyries organization, i think one of the things that we pride ourselves on from a staffing perspective, too, is we're looking for those relentless high performers and good human beings. and when you combine those pieces to the puzzle, what you can accomplish together is really unstoppable. and we get the opportunity to do that from day one. so we want to win. that's the expectation of this organization, and there's

great talent out there, both in this moment, you know, and through the coming months before we build the season in may. so we will we will see what we can put together. >> i'm curious what happens day of just what's the mechanics of it is like, do you have a bunch of laptops open? is there are you on? do you have two phones by each ear? i just have no idea. i've never been through this process before, so help me through what that looks like. >> it's a good question. and each league and team, as leagues expand, handle this all differently. so this one is the first expansion since 2008 where the atlanta dream came into the wnba. and so what happens is actually the day before the draft, we are able to communicate what players were going to take to the stakeholders, including the players themselves. and so what you're going to see on live television is the first time that's shared with anyone else. so that will be a really big moment for the community to see you know, who's a part of this process for us. but it'll it'll be announced one by one team, by

team to showcase that process by roster. >> and jess, you're telling us what that process is going to look like. we also understand that we have an idea of what the jerseys are going to look like, and kind of how they're going to incorporate the iconic bay bridge. >> it is a great representation of, you know, the connection that the bay provides. our logo itself. if you've taken a look, you know, there's a lot of intention behind that. we have 13 lines within the bay bridge, lines that you see represented there, which are also wings where the 13th team coming into the wnba. so it's really quite beautiful. >> now as a sports expert, jess, i'm not as a sports expert, i have to ask the tough questions. and that includes mascots. you may know ellie, the elephant is that girl. it's ellie, and it's elphaba. and the two of them are taking over the internet by storm. we need to combat this. how are we going to do so? >> well, first, i love that you have such pride in what we need to do. so thank you for that.

and i agree is that girl. what an incredible opportunity for our league and that the liberty have done in in creating ellie you know to represent their brand. we are hard at work on if that is something that we are going to do what it would be everything that we do with the valkyries, it's really important is yes, it has to be. >> yes, i won't, i won't accept it. >> listen, keep commenting, keep bringing us your ideas, all right? >> this is a free idea, okay? give it val. the valkyrie comes out and she's wearing her armor, right? and then she starts out very stiff, like she's doing the robot, and then the armor gets flung out and then she does a whole dance on the dance floor, and it gets crazy and people go wild, and we don't even remember ella the elephant exists. >> and it's just that. just that. just. that's it. let's do it. >> yeah, i'm. listen to me. hear me and hear me now, i'm not good at a lot of things, but i have good ideas when it comes to mascots. and i think that we i think we can tap into something here. >> so is reggie hired as the

creative director? >> i'm pitching myself. >> listen, we're we're going to talk about that later. there might be other conversations to have, but it's passion is certainly something i'm taking in. and certainly going to make sure that we're thinking about as we make future decisions. >> amanda, that's not no, that's not no that's not no no no. >> all right i'll take it. >> that's a door that's open for me. >> you know, they didn't ask or they didn't allow us to ask. what about these custom jerseys? oh, here we go. well, everyone, the wnba expansion draft airs tonight. and we'll bring you a special version of toyota after the draft, right here on abc seven. sports director larry beil will be here in studio with valkyrie's head coach natalie nakase around 8:30 p.m. following the afc championship game. >> delcastillo and a key look great on the back of a valkyrie's jersey. >> i bet, she said she's working on it, though. >> we'll see.

song. it really was. she did great with that. >> why don't we say it was the song of the summer? it was just kind of. was it just known? no one ever said like, anointed. this is the song of the summer. >> yeah. you know what? i was pushing against it for a while. >> but sabrina, you lost. >> you had you had the song of the summer lady this morning. >> let's talk about warm temperatures this afternoon for december. we're looking live outside from our sutro tower camera. it is dry. it is warm today. so when is our next chance of any sort of wet weather? this will occur on the 14th. here's future weather showing you probably our next system. the bulk of the rain to our north will likely see some lighter showers, but on the heels of that system, another one likely on the 16th and the 17th. so the middle part of the month does become a lot more active than, say, the first few days of december have been. day planner today, some north bay fog out there early on. it's all about warm december sunshine again. we're dry today. 60s and 70s out there, so looking at the air quality today, most areas in that moderate category once again, because we have that lid on our atmosphere just kind of a

stagnant pattern underneath us. and that means that pollutants get stuck and trapped. and that's why we have the moderate air quality. so today we'll have temperatures in the 60s and in the 70s. once again, here's the accuweather seven day forecast next seven days for you december warmth today. now over the weekend it is cloudier with a mix of sun and clouds. it is cooler but both days are dry. it's still a nice weekend. full sunshine back here on monday and we'll keep it dry for much of next week guys. >> all right drew, thank you. deacon dave is representing the bay area on a national level with his dazzling holiday house in the east bay. and last night he won abc's great christmas light fight. we brought you his story yesterday morning where we got to see his massive display outside and even inside his home. he started the massive christmas display at his livermore home more than 40 years ago. deacon dave gets a $50,000 prize, and we're learning he's going to be using that for some good congratulations. >> that's awesome. >> well, up next, the seven
