And the reason why I ask that is there was an effort a couple of years ago about storm drains, because they get all muddied up with leaves and twigs and stuff like that. So our neighborhood association sent out a thing who would like to volunteer to own one storm. You could sign up for a storm drain.

And every month or so or every few weeks, you know, it's near your house and they send you a bag and a shovel and you could, you know, scoop it up. And then quarterly, you just report back. And so, of course, then it gets to be a little contagious. So I signed up with one. And I put these little signs out. And then my neighbor across the street said, well, wait, what are you doing there?

I said, well, you know, I signed up for storm drains. Matter of fact, there's one across the street. Maybe you want to sign up for that. Oh, yeah, they did that. So I'm wondering if there's, because so many gun owners are responsible, aren't they a prime community resource to really be able to get the message out on a neighbor-to-neighbor basis? And if you agree with that...

Can you tell me if there have been any efforts that have shown ways to get that community involvement in that educational piece?

I just did easy math, Kathleen. I took the 5% resistors. I just subtracted that from the 100%. And again, you could still be a responsible gun owner in... and do what I say, not what I do, but that would be more amenable, that they're not going to totally resist. Sure.

Yeah, thanks for asking, Stan. I'm gonna talk about parks and trails, greenways with additional support. Okay, so we in St. Paul, I live in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the mayor proposed a little pittance of a sales tax to improve our parks and trails. And so I was able to write a letter to the editor

and say and write that the rigorous evidence shows that parks and trails with additional support increase physical activity. And we all know that physical activity prevents multiple diseases, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, et cetera, et cetera, obesity. And so that let me do that. The other example I'm going to give is community health workers. I'm working with a group from Rondo.
