Literally. I was going to say, how is it already the end of February?
Yeah, like we're moving into March. 2025 is like a snap of the fingers. Joined by, as always, Chris Hansen down in Miami. What's up, Chris? What's up, man? How are you? Hey, I'm good, man.

It's the 70s here in South Carolina this week, and I know we'll be back to 50 probably next week. This is what happens late February around here, but I'm enjoying it, man. I'm ready for spring fling.
I was going to say it was snowing when I left there last week. A little change of weather. We get four seasons in two weeks. Yeah, literally, man. Now everything's great in Miami. It's beautiful. It's a sunny day and, you know, not a cloud in the sky. So we're thriving.

What's coming across? And I don't know if there's like the top of the news heap, but I thought it was great. President Donald Trump has announced a new gold card visa program aimed at attracting wealthy foreign investors.
