They don't have the same technology, they don't have some of the emergency shutoffs in them in the cords that some of the original cords have. So when we take a chance on buying a cheaper cord, we take a big chance with our home and our vehicles as well. So when we charge them, make sure we're charging them when we're awake. They're on a hard surface, not a bed or a pillow or a sheet. And that we unplug them when they're done. And one other thing to keep in mind is maybe don't charge them near where your exit would be on your first floor on how you would evacuate. And lastly, like we say every single year, and for 26 years, please please go home today and check your smoke alarms and make sure they're working. Make sure you have a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm near where you sleep, and hopefully we'll have a safe week here.

Thank you. a significant portion of that is due to equipment purchases and capital improvements that are reimbursed from either lease proceeds or the casino funds. So just wanted to point that out that the bulk of their budget overage does have a specific revenue source to cover that. Generally, on the expense side, we're projecting currently our year-end about $2.7 million under budget year-to-date based on the information we have so far this year. As to CAP funds, CAP sales tax is performing very well, 15% over budget or about $1.7 million. We're looking at 11% over budget year-to-date or just under $1.8 million in the CAP in total. Redevelopment fund is actually 3% under budget, largely due to underperformance in packaged liquor and restaurant tax revenue. And casino tax revenue is pretty much right at expectation to hit that $7 million annual guarantee so far this year. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has. Aldo and Plucky. I'm sorry, I just have a question. I've been just listening to the news all over the country. It sounds like alcohol consumption is down all over the country. And is that what you just indicated, that we're also impacted by that? Yeah, so our package liquor tax, which is 1% on total package liquor sales, is down about 18% or $93,000 off of our projection, our budgeted numbers for the year. Yes. Are you anticipating even more? You know, that depends on, you know, we don't necessarily have an idea on where the market generally is going. I would e …
