On behalf of Mike and myself, and I think everybody's standing behind me very strongly, I want to pay my respects to Lindsey, who was our friend. He was a friend of all of us. He was a great guy. He was a great politician, actually. And it's hard to believe he's gone. He spoke to me just before he passed away, just to say hello. He got back. He felt fine. He was a little tired. And then this whole thing happened. And it's, boy, it's tough. So the flags are at half-mask until Saturday evening, which is an extended period of time, you know, generally speaking, but I think he deserves it. And he is a fantastic person. He was a fantastic man. He was actually a great politician. He got along with almost everybody.
