  part
• 1:21
  of

  and
• 1:21
  it's
• 1:22
  like,
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  see
• 1:22
  these
• 1:22
  just
• 1:22
  clouds
• 1:23
  of
• 1:23
  basically
• 1:23
  yellow,
• 1:24
  green
• 1:24
  pollen,
• 1:25
  dust
• 1:25
  from
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  pine
• 1:25
  trees.
• 1:26
  Yep.
• 1:27
  You
• 1:27
  feel
• 1:27
  it
• 1:27
  hitting
• 1:28
  you
• 1:28
  in
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  face.
• 1:28
  Running
• 1:29
  up
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  river,
• 1:29
  too.
• 1:30
  Yeah.
• 1:31
  And
• 1:31
  so
• 1:31
  you
• 1:31
  were
• 1:31
  telling
• 1:32
  me
• 1:32
  before
• 1:32
  we
• 1:32
  started
• 1:32
  recording
• 1:33
  that
• 1:33
  things
• 1:33
  have
• 1:33
  kind
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  popped
• 1:34
  off
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  little
• 1:34
  bit
• 1:35
  kind
• 1:35
  of
• 1:36
  earlier
• 1:36
  than
• 1:36
  normal
• 1:37
  on
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  striper
• 1:37
  front.
• 1:38
  So
• 1:38
  you're
• 1:38
  pretty
• 1:38
  close
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  kind
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  rolling
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  sidewalk
• 1:40
  up
• 1:40
  on
• 1:40
  that.
• 1:42
  Yeah,
• 1:42
  we've
• 1:42
  had
• 1:43
  some
• 1:43
  sort
• 1:43
  of
• 1:44
  early
• 1:45
  warm
• 1:46
  weather,
• 1:47
  just
• 1:48
  been
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  story
• 1:48
  the
• 1:49
  last
• 1:49
  couple
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  years,
• 1:50
  but
• 1:51
  also
• 1:51
  very
• 1:52
  little
• 1:52
  water,
• 1:52
  very
• 1:53
  little
• 1:53
  rain.
• 1:53
  We're
• 1:53
  supposed
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  get
• 1:54
  some
• 1:54
  this
• 1:54
  weekend
• 1:56
  that
• 1:56
  may
• 1:57
  be
• 1:57
  fairly
• 1:57
  significant,
• 1:58
  but
• 1:59
  otherwise
• 2:00
  it's
• 2:00
  been
• 2:01
  pretty
• 2:01
  low,
• 2:02
  pretty
• 2:03
  dry,
• 2:04
  most
• 2:05
  in
• 2:05
  most
• 2:05
  of
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  state.
• 2:06
  So
• 2:06
  it's
• 2:07
  pretty
• 2:07
  much
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  story
• 2:08
  on
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  new
• 2:10
  back
• 2:11
  home,
• 2:11
  all
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  way
• 2:12
  up
• 2:12
  through
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  Shenandoah
• 2:13
  Valley,
• 2:13
  up
• 2:13
  into
• 2:13
  Maryland,
• 2:14
  Pennsylvania.
• 2:15
  Um,
• 2:16
  so,
• 2:17
  you
• 2:18
  know,
• 2:18
  hopefully
• 2:19
  we'll
• 2:19
  have
• 2:19
  another
• 2:19
  summer
• 2:20
  like
• 2:20
  we
• 2:20
  did
• 2:20
  last
• 2:20
  year,
• 2:21
  but
• 2:21
  I'm
• 2:21
  not
• 2:22
  real
• 2:22
  hopeful
• 2:22
  at
• 2:22
  this
• 2:23
  point.
• 2:23
  Yeah,
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  Guess
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  silver
• 2:25
  lining
• 2:25
  if
• 2:25

• 2:25
  little
• 2:26
  bit
• 2:26
  closer
• 2:26
  back
• 2:26

• 2:26
  home
• 2:27

  scouring
• 2:28
  flood
• 2:28
  during
• 2:28

• 2:34
  woods
• 2:34

• 2:35
  that
• 2:35
  yet.
• 2:35
  If
• 2:36

• 3:41
  get
• 3:41
  back
• 3:41
  home,
• 3:41
  you
• 3:41
  know,
• 3:42
  where
• 3:42
  do
• 3:42
  you
• 3:42
  expect
• 3:43
  kind
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  the,
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  know,
• 3:44
  done
• 3:45
  with
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  spawn,
• 3:45
  fully
• 3:46
  in
• 3:46
  post
• 3:46
  spawn
• 3:47
  kind
• 3:47
  of
• 3:47
  mode
• 3:47
  for
• 3:47
  the
• 3:48
  smallmouth
• 3:48
  fishing
• 3:48
  to
• 3:48
  be.
• 3:50
  Yeah,
• 3:51
  usually
• 3:51
  by,
• 3:53
  usually
• 3:53
  by
• 3:53
  mid
• 3:54
  May,
• 3:55
  most
• 3:56
  of
• 3:56
  our
• 3:56
  females
• 3:57
  are,
• 3:57
  are
• 3:57
  kind
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  back
• 3:58
  into
• 4:00
  bait
• 4:00
  fish
• 4:00
  chase
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  shave.
• 4:03
  But
• 4:04
  outside
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  that,
• 4:06
  you
• 4:06
  know,
• 4:06
  you'll
• 4:06
  have
• 4:06
  males
• 4:07
  coming
• 4:07
  off
• 4:07
  the
• 4:08
  nest
• 4:08
  by,
• 4:09
  you
• 4:09
  know,
• 4:10
  by
• 4:10
  mid
• 4:10
  May
• 4:10
  too.
• 4:11
  So
• 4:11
  that,
• 4:11
  that's
• 4:12
  really
• 4:12
  kind
• 4:12
  of
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  turning
• 4:13
  point,
• 4:13
  I
• 4:13
  think.
• 4:14
  You
• 4:14
  know,
• 4:15
  15th
• 4:15
  through
• 4:15
  the
• 4:16
  25th
• 4:16
  or
• 4:17
  so
• 4:17
  amaze
• 4:17
  when
• 4:18
  you
• 4:18
  see
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  lot
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  that
• 4:18
  transition
• 4:19
  happen.
• 4:21
  So,
• 4:22
  you
• 4:23
  know,
• 4:23
  if
• 4:23
  I
• 4:23
  were
• 4:23
  smallmouth
• 4:24
  fishing
• 4:24
  next
• 4:24
  week,
• 4:25
  I'd
• 4:25
  be,
• 4:26
  especially
• 4:27
  with
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  low
• 4:27
  flows,
• 4:28
  I'd.
• 4:28
  I'd
• 4:28
  be
• 4:28
  probably
• 4:29
  throwing
• 4:29
  some,
• 4:30
  some
• 4:30
  top
• 4:31
  waters
• 4:31
  around,
• 4:32
  some
• 4:32
  poppers,
• 4:33
  some,
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  know,
• 4:34
  slider
• 4:35
  diver
• 4:35
  kind
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  things.
• 4:37
  Fishing
• 4:38
  fairly
• 4:38
  slow
• 4:39
  for
• 4:39
  some
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  those
• 4:40
  bigger
• 4:40
  post
• 4:41
  spawn
• 4:41
  females.
• 4:42
  Trying
• 4:42
  to
• 4:43
  stay
• 4:43
  away
• 4:43
  from
• 4:43
  nest
• 4:44
  sites
• 4:44
  if
• 4:44
  I
• 4:45
  can,
• 4:45
  and
• 4:46
  then,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  know,
• 4:47
  working
• 4:48
  more
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  more
• 4:49
  sort
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  pretty
• 4:49
  active
• 4:50
  streamer
• 4:52
  presentations
• 4:52
  into
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  program
• 4:53
  as
• 4:53
  we
• 4:53
  get
• 4:54
  later
• 4:54
  in
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  month.
• 4:56
  Yeah,
• 4:56
  and
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  know
• 4:56
  on
• 4:57
  kind
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  pop
• 4:57
  or
• 4:57
  slider
• 4:58
  front,
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  know,
• 4:58
  where
• 4:59
  are
• 4:59
  you
• 4:59
  kind
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  on
• 4:59
  that,
• 5:00
  the,
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  frog
• 5:00
  hatch?
• 5:04
  You
• 5:04
  know,
• 5:04
  I,
• 5:05
  I
• 5:05
  have
• 5:05
  done
• 5:06
  some
• 5:06
  frog
• 5:07
  fishing.
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  think
• 5:07
  it's
• 5:08
  a,
• 5:08
  it's
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  legitimate
• 5:10
  approach.
• 5:11
  I,
• 5:12
  I'm
• 5:12
  not
• 5:13
  Real
• 5:16
  positive
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  it's
• 5:17
  a
• 5:18
  major
• 5:19
  foraging
• 5:20
  event
• 5:20
  on,
• 5:21
  on
• 5:21
  frogs
• 5:21
  specifically.
• 5:22
  But
• 5:23
  so
• 5:23
  much
• 5:23
  of
• 5:23
  targeting
• 5:24
  smallmouth
• 5:24
  bass
• 5:25
  has
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  do
• 5:25
  with,
• 5:27
  because,
• 5:27
  you
• 5:27
  know,
• 5:28
  they're
• 5:28
  very
• 5:28
  opportunistic
• 5:30
  predators,
• 5:30
  they'll
• 5:30
  eat
• 5:31
  just
• 5:31
  about
• 5:31
  anything
• 5:31
  they
• 5:31
  can
• 5:32
  fit
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  their
• 5:32
  mouths.
• 5:33
  So
• 5:35
  the
• 5:36
  patterns
• 5:37
  at
• 5:37
  any
• 5:37
  given
• 5:37
  time
• 5:38
  of
• 5:38
  year
• 5:38
  tend
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  be
• 5:39
  where
• 5:39
  opportunity
• 5:40
  overlaps
• 5:41
  with,
• 5:43
  you
• 5:43
  know,
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  presentation
• 5:45
  as
• 5:45
  it
• 5:46
  relates
• 5:46
  to
• 5:46
  fishing,
• 5:47
  that
• 5:48
  style
• 5:48
  of
• 5:48
  fly
• 5:49
  or
• 5:49
  type
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  imitation
• 5:53
  where
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  sort
• 5:54
  of
• 5:54
  meets
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  smallmouth
• 5:56
  in
• 5:56
  their
• 5:56
  general
• 5:57
  behavioral
• 5:59
  sphere
• 6:00
  at
• 6:00
  that
• 6:00
  given
• 6:01
  time,
• 6:01
  you
• 6:01
  know,
• 6:01
  so
• 6:01
  if
• 6:01
  you've
• 6:01
  got
• 6:02
  lazy
• 6:02
  postpone
• 6:03
  females
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  low
• 6:04
  water
• 6:05
  fishing
• 6:05
  something
• 6:06
  that's
• 6:06
  going
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  stay
• 6:06
  on
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  surface
• 6:07
  or
• 6:08
  very
• 6:08
  near
• 6:08
  the
• 6:09
  surface,
• 6:09
  that
• 6:09
  can
• 6:09
  be
• 6:10
  fished
• 6:10
  slowly
• 6:11
  and
• 6:11
  still
• 6:11
  trigger
• 6:12
  a
• 6:12
  fish
• 6:13
  is
• 6:13
  a,
• 6:13
  is
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  good
• 6:14
  approach,
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  know,
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  vice
• 6:17
  versa.
• 6:17
  In
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  spring,
• 6:18
  you
• 6:18
  know,
• 6:18
  early
• 6:18
  spring,
• 6:19
  pre
• 6:19
  spawn,
• 6:20
  you
• 6:20
  know,
• 6:20
  larger
• 6:21
  offerings
• 6:21
  that,
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  know,
• 6:23
  pack
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  bigger
• 6:24
  protein
• 6:25
  punch
• 6:27
  tend
• 6:27
  to
• 6:28
  meet
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  smallmouth
• 6:28
  where
• 6:28
  they're
• 6:29
  at
• 6:29
  then
• 6:29
  too.
• 6:30
  So
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  think
• 6:30
  the
• 6:31
  frog,
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  know,
• 6:31
  the
• 6:32
  diving
• 6:32
  bait
• 6:32
  fish
• 6:33
  kind
• 6:33
  of
• 6:33
  thing,
• 6:33
  I
• 6:33
  think
• 6:33
  that
• 6:34
  has
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  lot
• 6:34
  of
• 6:34
  place
• 6:34
  this
• 6:35
  time
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35
  year
• 6:35
  because
• 6:35
  it's
• 6:36
  fairly
• 6:36
  versatile.
• 6:37
  You
• 6:37
  can
• 6:37
  fish
• 6:37
  them
• 6:37
  fast,
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  can
• 6:38
  fish
• 6:38
  them
• 6:38
  slow.
• 6:40
  But
• 6:41
  I'm
• 6:41
  not
• 6:41
  entirely
• 6:42
  sold
• 6:43
  on
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  like
• 6:44
  smallmouth
• 6:44
  or
• 6:44
  keying
• 6:45
  it
• 6:45
  on
• 6:45
  frogs
• 6:46
  idea.
• 6:47
  Got
• 6:47
  it.
• 6:48
  And
• 6:48
  we'll
• 6:48
  back
• 6:48
  up
• 6:48
  just
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  little
• 6:49
  bit
• 6:49
  on
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  cicada
• 6:50
  front
• 6:50
  because
• 6:50
  I'm
• 6:50
  sure
• 6:50
  you
• 6:50
  get
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  million
• 6:51
  questions
• 6:52
  like,
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  know,
• 6:52
  when
• 6:52
  are
• 6:53
  they
• 6:53
  coming?
• 6:53
  And
• 6:53
  it's
• 6:54
  like,
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  don't
• 6:54
  think
• 6:55
  most
• 6:55
  people
• 6:56
  really
• 6:56
  appreciate
• 6:57
  how
• 6:57
  incredibly
• 6:58
  localized
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  hatch
• 6:59
  is.
• 7:01
  Yeah.
• 7:01
  So
• 7:02
  every,
• 7:02
  every
• 7:03
  brood,
• 7:03
  I
• 7:04
  believe
• 7:04
  we
• 7:04
  have
• 7:04
  12
• 7:05
  broods.
• 7:05
  Some
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  them
• 7:06
  are
• 7:06
  13,
• 7:06
  some
• 7:07
  are
• 7:07
  17
• 7:07
  year
• 7:08
  bugs
• 7:08
  and
• 7:09
  they're
• 7:09
  temporarily
• 7:10
  staggered.
• 7:10
  So
• 7:11
  in
• 7:12
  each
• 7:12
  breed
• 7:12
  has
• 7:12
  its
• 7:13
  own
• 7:13
  very
• 7:13
  specific
• 7:14
  geographic
• 7:15
  range.
• 7:16
  Um,
• 7:17
  and
• 7:18
  knowing
• 7:19
  sort
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  observed
• 7:21
  geographical
• 7:21
  range
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  specific
• 7:23
  brood
• 7:23
  that's
• 7:23
  scheduled
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  come
• 7:24
  out
• 7:25
  on
• 7:25
  any
• 7:25
  given
• 7:26
  year
• 7:26
  is
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  key
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  finding
• 7:28
  bugs
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  fishing
• 7:29
  that
• 7:30
  year.
• 7:30
  So,
• 7:31
  you
• 7:31
  know,
• 7:31
  you
• 7:31
  hear
• 7:31
  a
• 7:31
  lot
• 7:32
  of
• 7:32
  this
• 7:32
  like,
• 7:33
  yeah,
• 7:33
  you
• 7:33
  know,
• 7:33
  we
• 7:33
  had
• 7:33
  them
• 7:34
  four
• 7:34
  years
• 7:34
  ago
• 7:34
  and
• 7:34
  they're
• 7:35
  coming
• 7:35
  back
• 7:35
  again
• 7:35
  this
• 7:36
  year.
• 7:36
  And
• 7:36
  you
• 7:37
  know,
• 7:37
  that's
• 7:37
  just
• 7:38
  not
• 7:39
  how
• 7:39
  it
• 7:39
  works
• 7:40
  because
• 7:40
  the
• 7:41
  breed
• 7:41
  you
• 7:41
  had
• 7:41
  four
• 7:42
  years
• 7:42
  ago,
• 7:42
  if
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  was
• 7:42
  a
• 7:43
  17
• 7:43
  year
• 7:43
  bug,
• 7:44
  isn't
• 7:45
  going
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  come
• 7:45
  out
• 7:45
  for
• 7:45
  another,
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  know,
• 7:46
  13
• 7:47
  years.
• 7:48
  So
• 7:49
  understanding
• 7:50
  that
• 7:51
  concept
• 7:51
  is,
• 7:52
  is,
• 7:52
  I
• 7:53
  mean,
• 7:53
  pretty,
• 7:53
  pretty
• 7:54
  paramount
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  the
• 7:55
  whole
• 7:55
  thing.
• 7:57
  And
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  know,
• 7:57
  I
• 7:58
  tell
• 7:58
  a
• 7:58
  lot
• 7:58
  of
• 7:58
  people
• 7:58
  this
• 7:59
  too.
• 7:59
  You
• 7:59
  know,
• 7:59
  17
• 8:00
  years
• 8:00
  is
• 8:00
  a
• 8:00
  long
• 8:01
  time,
• 8:03
  relatively
• 8:04
  speaking,
• 8:04
  to

  development
• 8:06
  to
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  Internet.
• 8:08
  You
• 8:08
  know,
• 8:09
  we're
• 8:09
  at
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  pretty
• 8:11
  great
• 8:11
  place
• 8:11
  right
• 8:12
  now
• 8:13
  for
• 8:14
  remote
• 8:17
  Internet
• 8:18
  based
• 8:18
  citizen
• 8:19
  science
• 8:20
  reporting.
• 8:21
  And
• 8:21
  that
• 8:21
  was
• 8:22
  not
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  case.
• 8:23
  Two
• 8:23
  emergences
• 8:24
  ago
• 8:24
  for
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  brew
• 8:25
  that
• 8:25
  we're
• 8:25
  going
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  have
• 8:26
  this
• 8:26
  year.
• 8:26
  You
• 8:26
  know,
• 8:27
  34
• 8:28
  years
• 8:28
  ago,
• 8:29
  we
• 8:29
  were
• 8:30
  in
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  very
• 8:30
  different
• 8:30
  place
• 8:30
  with
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  Internet.
• 8:31
  So
• 8:33
  some
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  those
• 8:34
  maps,
• 8:34
  some
• 8:35
  of
• 8:35
  those,
• 8:37
  some
• 8:37
  of
• 8:37
  those
• 8:38
  county
• 8:38
  lists
• 8:39
  and
• 8:39
  things
• 8:39
  are
• 8:40
  pretty,
• 8:40
  pretty
• 8:41
  accurate.
• 8:41
  But
• 8:42
  there's,
• 8:42
  there's
• 8:43
  a
• 8:43
  lot
• 8:43
  of
• 8:43
  missing
• 8:43
  information
• 8:44
  in
• 8:44
  some
• 8:45
  cases.
• 8:47
  So,
• 8:48
  you
• 8:48
  know,
• 8:48
  and
• 8:49
  like
• 8:49
  I
• 8:49
  said,
• 8:49
  development,
• 8:50
  some
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  those
• 8:50
  areas
• 8:51
  that
• 8:51
  had
• 8:52
  a
• 8:52
  lot
• 8:52
  of
• 8:52
  bugs
• 8:52
  17
• 8:53
  years
• 8:53
  ago
• 8:53
  that
• 8:53
  have
• 8:54
  been
• 8:54
  clear
• 8:54
  cut
• 8:54
  and
• 8:55
  pine
• 8:55
  trees
• 8:55
  planted
• 8:56
  and
• 8:56
  housing
• 8:57
  developments
• 8:57
  put
• 8:58
  up
• 8:58
  and
• 8:58
  parking
• 8:58
  lots
• 8:59
  paved,
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  know,
• 9:00
  there's
• 9:01
  no
• 9:01
  bugs
• 9:01
  there
• 9:01
  anymore.
• 9:02
  So
• 9:02
  things
• 9:03
  do
• 9:03
  change.
• 9:03
  But
• 9:04
  starting
• 9:05
  with
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  geographic
• 9:06
  distribution
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  specific
• 9:08
  brood
• 9:10
  that's
• 9:10
  emerging
• 9:10
  that
• 9:11
  year
• 9:11
  is
• 9:12
  import.
• 9:12
  Yeah.
• 9:13
  And
• 9:13
  it's
• 9:13
  even
• 9:13
  super
• 9:14
  localized
• 9:14
  kind
• 9:14
  of
• 9:15
  within
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  geographic
• 9:16
  distribution.
• 9:16
  So
• 9:16
  it
• 9:16
  reminds
• 9:17
  me
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  little
• 9:17
  bit
• 9:17
  of
• 9:18
  like,
• 9:18
  if
• 9:18
  you're
• 9:18
  serious
• 9:19
  about
• 9:19
  it,
• 9:19
  you
• 9:19
  really
• 9:19
  almost
• 9:20
  need
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  get
• 9:20
  out
• 9:20
  there
• 9:21
  and
• 9:21
  put
• 9:21
  your
• 9:22
  scouting
• 9:22
  time
• 9:22
  in.
• 9:22
  Just
• 9:23
  like
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  were
• 9:23
  hunting
• 9:23
  for,
• 9:23

  Yeah,
• 9:26

• 9:27
  lot
• 9:27
  of

  driving
• 9:28
  sometimes.
• 9:30
  But
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  know,
• 9:32
  like
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  said,
• 9:33
  even

  a
• 9:33
  county
• 9:34
  name
• 9:34
  is,
• 9:34
  is
• 9:34
  too
• 9:35
  general
• 9:36
  sometimes.
• 9:36
  Sometimes
• 9:37
  they're
• 9:37
  just
• 9:37
  in
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  corner
• 9:38
  of
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  county
• 9:39
  or,
• 9:40
  you
• 9:40
  know,
• 9:41

• 9:42
  acres
