[24:55] proposed the future road between the, uh,
[25:00] existing a hundred thousand square foot spec building and the future spec building,
[25:05] it doesn't show on this drawing, but I'm sure they have some plans for,
[25:09] uh, a turnaround because presently as you are looking at it, it
[25:13] goes straight in and it's nowhere to turn around. And for prior
[25:18] protection and these type eems and
[25:22] rescue, this has to be some way for
