Thank you, Dee Kirby. Yeah, we go. Any special plans for beginning the week? Well, I suppose we should begin with music of some sort. Now, that's what I call a real bright idea for Monday.

Well, you know how Mondays are, Rosie. Who's gonna grab the bowl by the horn here? Well, I'm already. We have it. I wanna flap my hand for my good fortune. I see we're gonna have something new and the way of decorations for our highways and roads around the country, yeah?
