And home slice opens up in about 10 minutes. So it's, uh, it's just deserted out here right now. It's Tuesday morning. It's 10:52 a.m., uh, March 25th, and boy, it's going to be a scorcher. Uh, we're gonna be dancing around 90 degrees today, I think. Uh, here's a view of South Congress Avenue looking north towards the beautiful Austin skyline. And you can see traffic is clear and moving freely all the way to South Congress Bridge, I think, the inner section of Riverside, um. Pedestrian traffic is pretty light still, as I say, home slice is not open for another 10 minutes. Um, we are just starting to put the patio furniture out for the day.
