the2027.3 times2027.46 or2027.87 or2028.18 innovative2028.51 while2029.07 also2029.38 not2030.59 abandoning2030.83 those2031.54 programs2032.26 that2032.74 are2032.98 beloved2034.18 and2035.3 work2035.38 well.2036.02 And2038.34 so2038.74 when2039.06 I2039.22 think2039.3 about2039.54 departments,2041.27 I2041.66 also2041.83 think,2042.07 you2042.38 know,2042.55 we're2042.63 we're2043.11
