Hi, I finally got a hold of Jim. He's got her. I'm sorry to say.
Well, I told him that she could come over to our place.
Well, it sounds like Penny's is closing.
Well, I know that. Every penny that's not essential is closing. He's already ordered it.
Okay, he said he was going to stop by your house on his way home from Penny's.
And do what?
I don't know. He just said he was going to stop by there. I don't know if he's going to leave Alex with you guys or...
I don't know if he's going to ask for your help. I'm not sure.
Did he get most of the stuff out of the basement?
Yeah.
Okay.
How bad is it going over 15th and Belmont?
They just evacuated east of Cottonwood from 13th to 17th Avenue.
I don't know if they've got water coming up through the drains, they said, or through the manhole doors.
I don't know.
Do you think the bank's in a hole?
I don't know. It's not looking good.
Not real promising.
No.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Bye.
