                                    AnnMarie Santiago
                                
                            
                            
                                            
                                            1:09:21
                                        
                                        I I take the blame, I guess.
                                    
                                            
                                            1:09:23
                                        
                                        You know, the one of the other, which is very difficult to account for, is just the the coldness of the heat season and the intensity of the coldness.
                                    
                                            
                                            1:09:32
                                        
                                        So that's always very difficult for us to measure.
