and change of the way we do flood changing and maybe i'm miss reading the flood change task force but would argue they ignore that and nothing they recommend took climate change into account. we no, fema, flood map's don't incorporate future risks and some say they don't adequately incorporate flood risks. the story we heard from david on often does but insurance companies are interested in this because they obviously have a financial stake in that and we may see some changes in insurance policies. after katrina, the new orleans levies were built to the exact same standards before. i didn't want to argue about the height but they certainly did not include climate change and one would argue they built them at an ineffective manner to begin with but they did not rebuild with climate change. brad said the colorado river and it's use of,hydrology, and it occurred to me, why are they not addressing climate change. why is the bureau not integrating it into the analysis of the system and i'll come back to an example of that in a moment. we have not yet done in california a systematic assessm

these are percent changes of flow on,x factors. 10, five, ten, twenty percent changes on flows. those are plausible in colorado. the,y axis is number of years in which we get plugs out of records. 78 years. there are two things to catch from this. one, is first of all, the vulnerability of the relative moderate increase of flow in the colorado. a ten percent increase in flow. changes the number of years with uncontrolled spills, floods, from six out of 78 in the data case to 16 out of 78 years some more than doubles the ten percent increase, more than doubles the years you have uncontrolled spills and different colors, blue is little spills and most are red the big ones. sorry the smaller one. you don't get really big spills undercurrent conditions. but when a 20 percent increase in flow your getting more inflows. the system is sincetive to climate. the second important point here is, this whole project. assessing the risk, assuming we operate the system the same way thomas we operating today, we were told when we proposed the project we could not change the operating rules that

so increases in temperature, no changes in precipitation or the way we get precipitations and no change in the precipitation. decreases in snow back of 50 percent and decrease to inflow and decreases in yield. that all assumes a static systems and our operators don't change dealing with flood pockets or rule curves so that's impact of operating the system like we have historically and that's impact on our system. the issue is from today on we can't operate the system the way we used to so we have to start changing and coming one new models on how to do it. >> this i have found this a phenomenal chart. if you start that upper left and go down line by line on this chart, it shows you the official demand forecast for the seattle city water supply system. we have never - at least to date - underforecasted the demand. we always over forecast. i think if you have not looked at your official forecast it gives you a reality historically and what the demands really look like. i think also, if you have not look and i'm assuming most have, this is what our water consumption looks like verses our p

do not change this, but to make changes that you proposed throughout the rest of the document. supervisor chiu: with regard to section 31.16, no changes there? revert back to the current draft? >> that is correct. supervisor chiu: that is actually two sections, not one, right? >> yes. supervisor chiu: i understand you are not taking it out, you are saying leaving 31.08 as it is, which means for purposes of today's discussion, we are moving those couple of pages that refer to section four and doing the same for section 10, taking section 10 out of this legislation? >> only the sections that have section e and the references in a and b. as i understand it, all those would be changed. would be only the references to existence. supervisor chiu: i'm sorry, i probably need you to walk me through that again. i think section e was what i meant last time, right? starting with page 18, section 10 referring to amendments of section 31.16, where would you be? >> the changes would be in section a where there is a reference in three and four two exemptions. since there is no corresponding la

i will be resolute in seeking bulled positive change. positive change. comorians have had a tough time. high unemployment and declines in our housing market. every generation, floridians have faced tough challenges. in the 18 eighties, at delphi art -- yellow fever hollowed out entire communities. in the 1940's, over a quarter of a million floridians served in uniform. in every decade, we have had to rebuild after horrific correct chance. -- horrific hurricanes. our current problems are absolutely sellable -- solvable. our future is in our hands. we are resilient people. [applause] whether the national government takes the right steps or not, here in florida, we have but we need to make the next four years the most exciting time to live and work in florida. we will make it happen. [applause] this is the right time to act. it is an unbelievable opportunity for everybody in elected office. there is a tide in the affairs of man. i believe this is high tide. this is the time were we can do great things together. if we have the courage to act, our children an

to the change in rules. we need to preserve the senate as a form for minority right. we need to preserve the 60-vote requirement for major votes. that will force consensus. that will cause us to work together. that will build support out of the country as a result of what we do because they can see both republicans and democrats see, for example, the way we've gone about trying to make social security sol vent is a good way whether than one side or the other jams legislation through. we operate by a simple majority. the house can repeal the health care bill overnight, bring it over to the senate, that side says, let's step and think about it. the house if it's democratic they can repeal the secret ballot elections overnight, and it did with its votes in the last congress, but when it came over here, the republican side said, let's stop and think about it. the american people are better served by having these two different kinds of bodies and the senate and the american people will be better served both by th

published a report titled, changing climate, assessing the risk to california. the report looked at 3 scenarios for cutting the amounts of emission that we pump into the atmosphere and depending on whether and how much green house gas emissions can be brought under control, the report projects by the end of the century average temperatures in california will rise between 3 and 10 1/2 degrees centigrade. one of the most publicized impacts of global warming is a predicted increase in sea level. and here's a graph showing sea level rise in san francisco bay. now, i want to note one very important fact about this graph. it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas co

have word changes. i don't know if i should show them to you at another time. >> i think now would be a good time. >> how strongly do you feel about those? >> i thought i could just give you my red line. >> nonsubstantive changes. >> what do you want? really, it is small stuff. but since i read it and wrote it, i thought i would mention it. i'm happy not to give it to you, wls. >> why do i need to do it now? >> my understanding is this is the public acceptance now, so i don't think there can be amendments lather, even minor, or else we'll have to go through this again. >> forget it. no need. >> public commen on circumstances warranted on a practice already in place but this would clarify it in the rules, and then section 6-d-2 explains and clarifies the board's policy that these affiliated with a party should speak during that party's allotsment of time and not under "public comment. so that is it for section -- article 3. i don't know if there are any comments from commissioner fung, or others, that yo

let me say we've not a climate change just like yours in our backyard. the time spent yesterday, at least for me, was very well spent and leads up to the business of today. yesterday we talked about the state of knowledge. some of it was wonderfully obvious. and water goes down hill and collection areas and some of it was breathtakingly vague trying make a billion dollar decision about something. we talked about simple solutions and bold actions and diverse drinking water systems in san diego and we heard about thinking about discipline, winning over regulators and economic development agencies and environmental groups as getting them to work with us. today, we have the opportunity to make it much more useful because it's amply, clear climate change is happen together all of us right now, as water system manager's and we can work together and act together, we can probably be more effective, more quickly. so that's what we're going to try to do today and here's how we're going to do it. we're going to use those five topics up on the screen to frame the si

now, the picture on climate change is all too familiar. this is a graph of projected global warming and temperature rise and its effects northwest europe and particularly the uk. it's a very similar picture to the one you have here. it predicts however you account for the uncertainty, a very significant rise in temperature over the next 50 to 100 years. as a result of that average temperature rise of at least 3 degrees centigrade is that we are going to see warmer, weter winters, drier, hotter summers, a sea level rise in excess of 800 millimeters, probably 850 millimeters, in the southeast of england. but hidden underneath that are perhaps more important messages. that temperature rise will lead to much stormier weather so when we get rainfall we're likely to see particularly and interestingly in the summer months much more intense rainfall in the future than we see today and on top of any sea level rise, as will mentioned, increase in storm surges which will exacerbate the sea level rise even more. what we're looking at is what does that

it doesn't change. in the bible does not change. that interpretation and people who want to change it into something that is totally against the or original intent. it is not exactly where america needs to go we don't need to grow into a socialist country or into a whole different government. it was built on something that was so precious and god-given that it is something we need to stand for and believed in. host: what do you think about the amendment process? had that been successful and growing the constitution? caller: i think there are a lot of things that really we need to pray about and just hold to the of original intent and stick with that. that is all i can say. i am very upset because i feel like america has been on a tremendous change that was not ever meant to be, and it breaks my heart, whether it is in the court system or in the schools. there are a lot of things that we've neglected to honor god. host: let us look at some of the major newspapers. what washington is reading. images from yesterday's start of the 112th

i did not make any changes. >> i've read the reviews. people seem like they are having a great time. >> that would be fine. >> let me be clear, do you have a dj that performs in your place? how do you operate now? >> i did have a deejay. i had a teaching one time >> we want to change condition number 3 for not having a dj more than twice a month. is this an unlimited amount of time. >> again, i don't want to have a club business. they would like for us to bring 40 people. >> did you want to leave it and limited. i don't want it to be amended. i do not want this to be a club. >> ok. >> [inaudible] >> about three months ago, the building inspectors and some other inspectors gave -- came and they wanted to inspect the place. some special people are living there and the government is paying for them.

the time changed, and the place changed, and so the reflections change. >> okay. >> and as long as wetrying, and i attended this conference to see transplant, we are still on the path. >> okay. [applause] >> i want to turn to you for a moment on this question because i know that you participated in something in the u.k. called the radical middle way that was in some ways connected to this idea of fighting extremism or preventing extremism. can you weigh in here? >> make a few points. number one, i don't think it's fair to say most of the mosques in america are preaching radicalization. i think it depends on the mosque. >> well, i think it's few to -- mosques are kicking out extremists are the reality. >> yes, i think what is happening is you have virtual mosques online. >> yeah. >> young people don't even know who they are speaking to. they are radicalizing youth online. some things happen after the fact. thirdly, a problem i'm seeing, and i say this because i don't want to get myself into trouble, but i speak freely. >> why not. [laughter] >> do i have permission? [laughter] >> i thi

we are proposing that most changes would occur in year two, which is 2012-2013, with incremental change happening in the first year. that is designed to maximize the lead time for families to have an understanding of what transportation services will be available. the graph showed earlier -- you can see we are anticipating a greater jump in the changes and services. i will just remind folks of the slide. it is like 11. -- is slide 11. the blue bar -- this is theoretical to illustrate. we are looking at phasing out some current routes, but also adding new routes to support the policy goals and objectives. we are imagining that the biggest change will begin to happen in your 2012-2013 -- the year 2012-2013. in terms of how families will find out about the changes, we are looking at capturing information about who is riding the bus. we will be able to send direct mail to families currently riding the bus. we will be able to have materials at each school site that will have more detail about the changes. through the school sites, we would have discussions with families. rather than doing wh

basically, change is good. changes needed. but change must take place with the community in mind. so, what i would like to see, what i have seen, are changes in the presentation given -- revisions since our testimony at a public meeting on december 2. i am gratified to see that our voices have been heard to a certain extent. i realize that money is needed by parking and wrecked. however, how that money comes in is extremely important. that must take into account the families and elders to use the park and how they use it. a change does not mean a boat house conversion change. the food is a little pricey. but i do have the lovely hat -- which i am into these days.

due to climate change we have to anticipate. speaking on your comment about a template, the county council has asked us to develop an annual climate plan the first of which is news today and it maybe delayed by a week or two is what i've heard. what we've done, is put together an intraservice group to identify impact to all the different activities we engage in that range across planning, permitting, regulatory, as well as something like requiring access like purchasing hybrid buses and transportations systems. i think this is an annual report and we're going to be imposing performance measures on ourselves and reporting how much progress we're making, and it will, i think result in dialogue because we'll have to talk to state agencies on the issues chuck talked about, where we're not getting the support or freedom to do what we need to do, but it will also generate discussions in the county and staff that probably at this point, don't see what the impacts are of climate change. for the moment, this is going to go on indefinitel

the reform the senate needs is a change in behavior, not a change in rules. i have talked with many senators on both sides of the aisle and i believe most of us want the same thing, a senate where most bills are considered by committee. come to the floor as a result of bipartisan cooperation, are debated and amended and then voted upon. not so long ago, this was the standard operating procedure. i have seen the senate off and on for more than 40 years, from the days in 1967 when i first came to washington as howard baker's legislative assistant. in those days, there wasnly one legislative assistant in eachenate office. i came back for a while to help senator baker set up his leadership office in 1977, and i watched the way that senator baker and senator byrd led the senate from 1977 to 1985. when the democrats were in the majority for the first four years and the republicans were in the majority the second four years. then, most pieces of legislation that came to the floor started in committee. then, that legislation was open for amendment. there might be 300

and they are not small changes. virtually eliminating all the parking on site, making it cars stacking only, and coupled with the elimination of most of the car shares basis -- car share spaces, you will have problems with people parking on the street, double parking, may be blocking transit at the site. we would also like to have the opportunity to bring to the commission's attention how much this project has changed since you saw it last. as you may recall, the neighbors issue with this was the code exceptions that were provided to this particular developer, the gifts given to this particular developer, which have tremendous negative impact, and those are the rear yard modifications, and the projects that you all passed out of here was not legal, was not code compliance. you were told, "we modified this rear yard because it was a corner lot" and if you look back at all the applications you -- that were submitted to you, you were told corner lot. at 5:00 p.m., before this was heard, the board -- before the board of

when we look at snow pact changes one of the questions was the different changes. what we typically do is say we expect at least a 25 percent reduction by 2050 some we expect a 50 point acre foot. we will lose 25 percent. some other projections have it losing 40 percent by 2050 which is not far away and there are projections worst than that. typically we have shown the nature of the reduced amount of run off that occurs as a result of run off. we're looking at this differently from a flood perspective, next slide. this may not be obvious but this is the peak day flows so it the highest you experience in the river system in this case the american river in a given year. here's when,folsome damage was built. these are the flows when they did not have the operations for flood management that's how you would study the reservoir. now look since it was built. six of the highe flows recorded have happened since the damage was built. has the corporation changed the criteria, no. we have been aware of this from some time. this is feather river and,orville, was constructed he

the operating rules that reservoirs and could not change water rights and change the rule of the law of the river, basically. we had to do assessment of the water vulnerability in current conditions. that's a key point. how vulnerable are we - not under existing conditions although this is important information to know - but how vulnerable would be be if we had the flexibility to change the way we operate and that's a we question. and that races something more important than science and that's politics. next slide. what shouldn't be done? don't assume future climate will look like the past. actually i'll say it one more time on the conclusion. do not justify actions using climate change without the science to support them unless their justified for other reasons. i'm going to poke a bear here - a big bear - but he's not in the room so can't kick me out. the governor proposed two new surface reservoirs in california and the large part of the back up justification was issue of climate change and the terrible impact on storage. people are not doing to believe this, not opposed to new da

regarding procedure for assigning and/or changing street numbers. >> good afternoon. i have passed out to all of the commissioners and have extra copies of here on the table for the public the proposed street #address and procedures for internal use for staff that the commission requested that accompanied the address and procedure bulletin. i did attend the advisory committee meeting last week on this item. there were several discussions and several little things that were changed, and there is one thing that is missed in the current version, in your bulletin. under the responsibilities of the property owner, one of the words was that they should identify or notified the private agencies, and that word "agencies" was changed to be "entities." so we make sure the property owner is responsible for notifying everyone else outside of the public agencies and the federal agencies that the dbi is responsible for notifying. that is the only correction in that bulletin before final publication. >> the project sponsor will be told when he submits his application for a permit. a

and changing the system, changing washington, changing the constitutions, changing -- institutions, changing the way we do business, the way government does business, all of those themes. changing the way we approach government. he was changing the war in the iraq, changing the way the tax system was built and how disadvantaged certain communities. so it was a theme that came across. there was also a big theme which we found which is personal responsibility. it's manager that president obama talked about in his books, and it's a theme throughout his campaigns. the idea that you have responsibility as being a citizen for working hard, for being a good parent. ha's something that, actually, from a values perspective we saw quite a bit in his writings, and the responsibility theme in springfield in the 1999. he said, ultimately, what we want to do is encourage folks to be more self-sufficient. when he announced his presidency, he said each of us in our own lives will have to accept responsibility for adapting to a more competitive economy, for strengthening our communities and sharing some meas

>> the electoral college changes. it shifts with the changing reapportionment.hifts about seven or eight elect our college -- electoral college votes. obama would have received a less -- six less electoral votes. it would not have caused him to lose, clearly, but it would have caused it to be closer. if you were to run the 2000 election, bush carried that on the electoral college side. he would gain more votes with the new reapportionment process. but imagine that if in florida we had found 537 more votes for gore and gore had been elected. then, under this new reapportionment, it would have changed that outcome. yes? >> hi. my name is kathleen duffy. i go to the university of san diego. i was wondering, how do you become a member on the committee that does the redistricting in each state? >> it varies in each state. if you are in california, you have a new experience going on out there. the voters in 2008 decided that instead of legislators, you would have a commission to draw the district. there is 14 members of that commission. they have now been selected on

some of these changes will have a significant impact on your life. i call these changes hits. for example, in your teen years, you start to experience night blindness where you lose the ability to travel independently or safely at nighttime. narrator: lauren is 13 and, like others with usher syndrome, is experiencing early night blindness. often, this is exhibited by a child tripping or bumping into things or, in general, being viewed as clumsy. i did notice that what i thought was her balance wasn't where it should be and that she seemed to be having some trouble seeing peripherally, but what was happening again now is, the ophthalmologists, too, were not seeing what i was seeing and basically were just telling me, "no. she does not have usher syndrome. she doesn't have retinitis pigmentosa," until she was older. then they were actually able to see the spots in her retina when they examined her. well, like, i don't have very good balance, so riding a bike was hard, but actually, my dad helped me through it, and we ride bikes together on bike trails, and we do it a lot, and i

the reform the senate needs is a change in behavior, not a change in rules. i have talked with many senators on both sides of the aisle and i believe most of us want the same thing, a senate where most bills are considered by committee. come to the floor as a result of bipartisan cooperation, are debated and amended and then voted upon. not so long ago, this was the standard operating procedure. i have seen the senate off and on for more than 40 years, from the days in 1967 when i first came to washington as howard baker's legislative assistant. in those days, there was only one legislative assistant in each senate office. i came back for a while to help senator baker set up his leadership office in 1977, and i watched the way that senator baker and senator byrd led the senate from 1977 to 1985. when the democrats were in the majority for the first four years and the republicans were in the majority the second four years. then, most pieces of legislation that came to the floor started in committee. then, that legislation was open for amendment. there might be

this is the median of the projected change in precipitation where change is coated by color. red is less. what did you give me there david? 0? well, let's rearrange and i want to talk a little longer everybody is giving me attention here. i'll promise to hasten up a little bit. red is dryer and blue is wetter. and what you can see here is that along the sub tropics the latitudes between 20 degrees north and south and 30 degrees or so there tends to be a trying so the way the atmosphere works if you look at it sideways from along the equator the air is rising along the equator and sinking polar to that in the sub tropics and in our area that's calledd the north pacific high. that's why we don't get much rain. we're under the influence of the north pacific high. what's happening in these climate simulations is those subtropical highs, more or less, are strengthening, on the other hand if you live in seattle you might be more encouraged because it looks like there's a tendency for latitudes to get wetter and that wet goes further north. next one. well, here we have in this case

the rule, that rule can be changed. i'm reading here from what he said. he said at that time, "the constitution in article section 105 says each house determines the rules of its proceedings. now we are at the beginning of congress. this congress, he said, are not obliged to be bond by the dead hand of the past." i listened to the minority leader when he said the minority never changed rules except by following those rules. well, the rules set down by a congress a long time ago by a senate said in order to change the rules, you need two-thirds of a vote in the senate. i submit that's unconstitutional, and i submit that that congress, this senate on this first legislative day doesn't have to abide by that. no. what if some -- what is one party got 90 senators one time, and they adopted a rule that said from here on out you have to have 90 votes in order to change rules. here are the rules, and they set up runes that made it impossible for minority to ever become the majority. would that be constitutional? i don't think s

fly southwest, the only airline with no change fees.or a playoff spot..they'll have to beat the teams they're "supposed" to beat..including the indiana pacers in town if the warriors are going to climb back into the playoff race, she will have to beat -- they will have to beat the teams they are supposed to beat. golden state down 5. warriors only bucket. down a bucket. crunch time. game tied at 108. man take for the win -- monta for the win. the warriors have won three straight. randy bennet saint mary's hosting san diego. jones began his career at university of san diego. tonight he took it to the -- steal and slam. he had the lead in the second half but jones got hot. they win the 11th straight. >>> tight end zach miller has been added to the pro bowl replacing gates. he led the raiders three seasons. first pro bowl appearance. >>> tiger woods will make his 2011 debut in san diego. he's one of last five times he's played that course including the 2008 u.s. open. of course, tiger did not win a single tournament in 2010. >> i'm predict

i have not change my vote. commissioner fung: i have not changed my vote. commissioner peterson: i have not changed my vote. vice president garcia: i have not changed my vote, the single vote in favor of not overturning, or opposed. commissioner hwang: as i indicated at the last hearing, i think there was additional evidence raised. and i think legally, especially in light of a new ninth circuit opinion, there was, in my opinion, a valid permit on which this permit holder could ride. that is what i am struggling with. it is a technicality, if you will, a legal issue. but we are a legal body. that is where i would have a hard time accepting the findings overall. >> is there a motion, commissioner? commissioner peterson: can i make a motion? >> would you like to hear from our city attorney about any of your comments? >> american samoa the agenda states, tonight you can take a vote on the -- as the agenda states, tonight you can take a vote on the merits of the case. commissioner peterson: if we don't do that, there are only three votes needed for the findings

the ecosystem itself has changed. we have citizen journalists, private-public partnerships, legacy media, start-ups. it is an uneven thing right now. >> how do you define who the journalists are in your class? >> that is an interesting question. many of my students think "the daily show" is news. while "the daily show" provides interesting insight, provide satire and parody of news, it is clear there is some element of news there. what is tricky is how you help students define where to get quality information about what is happening in their community. that is how i try to define it. the lines are too blurred to say that is journalism, that is not journalism. what i am most interested in is educating students to develop a critical awareness and thinking ability to parse out what is good information and what is not. >> moving on to mark adkins of the "san francisco chronicle." we had a conversation about the chronicle. it was threatening to close, saying it was losing $1 million a week. you have made massive cuts since

will your tone change, and do you think the congress's tone is going to change when this debate unfolds? >> i think it will. i think you'll see a more civil debate than you would have had otherwise. i'm not sure the substance of the debate will change that much. i think republicans are committed to repealing the law in the house, obviously. but i do think that the tone will change. that's a good thing. i think it was a good decision to put it off for a week. >> schieffer: you know, this is a small thing, but something i noticed in the accounts of what the new speaker boehner said yesterday. he talked about legislation. he called it... we're going to stop this "job destroying legislation" instead of calling it "job killing legislation." do you think that is going to... can that possibly continue on here, or am i just being a pollyanna about this? >> well, i think that we republicans and i think democrats alike will realize that, if we tone down the rhetoric, sometimes our debate is more effective from our own side. if you take a cue from the movie industry, you look at the top grossing m

or political change. that is what the international community lacks today. even though we may be making incremental progress on international law, the and ability to actually kill less of around those tools and use them -- coalesce is a real problem. china is becoming a significant superpower, but not diplomatically, but economically. the united states has a military capacity, but its economic and diplomatic power is weakening. that is a recipe for a weaker international community, not a stronger international community. look at the context in all of these things. northern ireland is an interesting example because the outside powers also came together to help facilitate that process. we do not have that -- when we do not have that in combination with the powers inside the conflict, it is difficult to seek a discernible peace. -- to see a discernible peace. >> if you look at global statistics on conflict, you see that it is massively lower than it was 20 years ago. it is substantially more peaceful than it

what do you mean when he says he wants to change? david, you say he wants to change the world. >> well, okay, let me just tie this to the question of government regulation. if one of the things mark is trying to do is give people this incredible identity on the internet, facebook is basically trying to become the ultimate repository of identity information about all of us, and if you think about who has historically played that role, it is government. so there is absolutely no question governments don't like that because they want to give you the passport, they don't want facebook to do it and in fact they are moving in the direction to do it more effectively for many activities than government, but what marks want to do is empower individuals, and i think that is what the entire internet is about and has been about, i think mark from the beginning of facebook's history recognized that is what the internet is about and basically consciously constructed the company in order to make that happen even faster. so facebook is about giving

we received the notice, it was changed again recently as december 22 or 23. even the description of the proposal in the packet for this goes on to say that the residents -- it is not really clear to us. we want a little bit more time. [chime] president miguel: thank you. still d.r. requestors? >> commissioners and anyone present, i am the resident -- president miguel: these are speakers in favor. >> i am in favor. from a personal standpoint, recently a building went up. knowing that that is just across the way from me, i have noticed sunlight disappearing from my house. it is a feeling of invasion of privacy. with this building in being a five-story building, it makes it worse. i feel like i live in a canyon. i feel like it will become like mini-manhattan in our area. i would like to keep my neighborhood. i am a resident. i think they just want to make a few more bucks in the process, cramming more into less space. >> i appreciate your patience. i am sure that we all have families that we live like to get back to this evening. i have the privilege of being pa
