Hola, gente. All right, we're outside of Silicon Valley. We are now in Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world, they say. Garlic everything. Big farming community out here. I did a story out here once on a company that gets all the airplane seats from all the airplanes and refurbishes them, and, uh, they had the biggest warehouse of airplane seats that I've ever seen. But here it is, Gilroy. Gilroy. It's very pretty. There's an airport not too far from here where you can see a lot of experimental aircraft being tested as well, if I remember right. Um, there you go. On our way to Bakersfield today, but this is Gilroy. Enjoy.
