Thank you.

Good evening and welcome to everyone.

It's so fabulous to be here and to be here with Steve and to have a group of, I'm hoping, geonerds that all of you are.

And I say that affectionately, being one myself.

First off, I'd like to thank Town Hall for hosting us.

And those of you who are not members should become one.

This is an amazing institution.

At least I hope it does, because it'll sell more books.

So what happens next?

Yeah, so they collect about 1,200 eggs.

They whoosh them away to a game farm, which the state has set up to raise animals.

And then the eggs start hatching, and they just start distributing them.

Some go down to Idaho.

Some go over to Arizona.

Some go to a variety of different places around eastern Washington.

What do you make of the efforts over the years to control, to cull, to address goose overpopulation? I mean, has this been something that is a success? Do you do you think that anybody would want to revisit it again?
