Where are you on Amy? I'm right here at 6th Avenue and 16th Street. I'm sorry, 6th Avenue with Gulfway. I think you could just go to 5th Avenue in Gulfway, cut off the Eastbound traffic. I got 2 18-wheeled drivers. I've just informed them. They're going to have to make a U-turn and go. 69 to I-10, they're trying to get to Louisiana. They're not going to be able to make it through here. So if you just come out here and block off the eastbound traffic from 5th Avenue, I'll have them around. We're going to do that. Thank you. Three-two. Four, seven, one's all day then. Three-talk. Receive attention all-day, students. Thank you for shift change. 11 after.
