"This is not so transitory I speaking with a trader this morning he's basically said to me have you bought a new car lately And I said no Why He got flooded with Ida And he said the MSRP if you order a car with a price over MSRP if you order a car is four to 7000 Wow And you won't get it until after Thanksgiving And if you buy one off the lock they're charging between 8 and 12,000 MSRP So that's people we've always talked about used cars on the programs But if you see new car prices they're the highest they've been since stepped on inflation in 1982 And this is one of the things that it's just impressionistically on my part We keep hearing it's transitory because that's going to go away like the used car prices But it seems like every time one of them starts to die down another one comes along And a lot of them have to supply chains in all fairness And totally I actually sent this photograph to Carol masser last week I haven't been in this in a supermarket in a while my wife has been taking care of that but there's a stop and shop in tarrytown New York It's a 22 aisle store So you figure they're going to be prominent on the list to get product And the entire paper aisle was wiped out There was nothing there And in many of the other aisles there were large gaps and it was all due to supply chain not like as we had in the beginning of the cold So it's anecdotal but it's everywhere you look prices are up in the grocery store You can't get cars Retailers are now saying instead of the usual discounts after the Black Friday discounts day after Thanksgiving you better if you find something you want buy it now because it's probably not going to be there come prisons So they can stay transitory all they want But when the consumers feel it in the pocketbook it's not transitory And that's Terry town which of course we're all very concerned about but we read about what's going on in England right now They're talking about an autumn of discontent and Germany's worried about losing Christmas because they can't get the gifts in It seems to be much larger than even tarrytown Yeah no and it's perfectly correct Yes And gas prices in Germany I believe today were the highest They've ever been And so you get all of this really crunching And what people have to understand is the fed doesn't look at CPI They exclude food and energy On the U.S. consumer camp that's right They have to eat their homes They have to put gas in their cars And they have to eat And so the fed in many ways may be looking at the wrong or concentrating on the wrong inflation gauge When you see consumer disposable income drop there's only two things that can happen with that Either the consumer is banging on the doors and get bigger bigger wage packets so that they can continue to consume or you're going to see earnings go down because they're going to be buying less And so far we really haven't seen the wage increases that we're going to need to keep up with this Vince I want to turn to a different subject because you and I have talked about it a lot I know you follow it And that is China I mean we have the ever grand phenomenon which is a big really big provocative story I'll put it that way over in China But there's a lot of concern that that's broader than just one big company really having trouble paying their debts It's even bigger than the real estate sector because the real estate sector is so big in China What do you think this might mean for Chinese growth overall This is really really important You bring up a great point because the market was already trading a little heavy today And then we got the news that China developer fantasia mister $206 million debt payment That weight heavily and then we also saw China rattled the sabers after the U.S. mentioned about the Taiwan situation And the reports today that they flew 52 52 military planes into Taiwan's air defense zone and that's most ever in a single day So you not only have the real estate industry in China somewhat going awry but there's this serious political risk now With Taiwan basically between the United States and China and it doesn't look like it's going to end very well And the globe is just dependent upon China disproportionately for some years now for growth If you look at the total amount of global growth really a substantial portion comes from China If that comes off a signal what does that mean Who's going to pick that up That's another excellent point You talk about supply chain disruptions It's for whatever reason China has the reserves And the ability to basically not move product to the rest of the world but and leave people of their own devices You think you got a shortage now Shortages of product now I mean when basically as you mentioned the largest supplier of goods if they turn this big it's off to the west The price is going to go through the roof Okay so let me go back to my favorite trader or former trader here When you're trading this today how do you trade it With this one for me personally for a longer term look and this is a very long-term look because there's going to be a lot of gyrations I saw the 30 year high as interest rates in 1982 I think I've seen the 30 year lows of interest rates last year and I fully feel for the ten year for instance And this is not a political statement it's just a years of timing that when we come to the next presidential election we could easily see the ten year between four and 5% Wow But the equity markets are not prepared for that Or anything close to it are they Vince Not even a little bit I mean the equity markets I don't think they're even prepared for a 2% tax They just they've been following this fed mantra of transient and transitory prices And transitory means what is one thing What is transferring to you versus what it means to make If you have very deep pockets it can be a year If you're living on a weekly paycheck it could mean a week So how long you can stomach higher prices depends on where you're coming from And not so sure the fed is coming from the same place as the U.S. consumer So come back to what do you do about that If you're really going up to four or 5 in the yield of a ten year with the next two years two and a half years You don't want to buy a lot of bonds right now because that means that the yield is going to go up and as I recall that means the value is going to go down So where do you go Where do you put your cash Well you're looking to hard assets I think commodities because if inflation goes up commodity prices are going to go up So anything across the board whether it's crude or base metals perhaps what most likely gold and crude and even the foodstuff come under these are likely likely to be a good buy also because as food prices go up This stuff that feeds the food prices is going to go upgrades for instance at corn And of course oil OPEC plus has been squeezing oil prices We see oil prices up once again today And that's another one where we could return somewhat to I'm not going to say levels of the 1970s But somewhere along there Vince I'm just going to thank you so much It's been cigarette We're not going to go to my colleague Eric shats who's sitting down with Ken Griffin of Citadel at the economic club of Chicago We should jump right into it don't you think Absolutely So as Mary just said you instantly became one of the club's most popular and provocative speakers the last time you were here in 2013 and I know you're not going to disappoint the hometown crowd those in the room Those online with us virtually and those tuning in live on Bloomberg television and radio around the world Can much of our conversation is going to turn on politics or policy in one way.

"Well i think not only that and this is what i said right off the bat when they signed all these contracts and everybody was apoplectic. Here go the knicks nixon. All around kazooing all around the off-season again know what they were doing was saying to themselves were the knicks. Were the new york freaking knicks. And we've been a laughing stock for a long time. You know what we're not a laughingstock anymore. And we don't need to be a non laughing stock for all that long until some of the sar players around the league. Start looking older dur- during the knicks ter- interesting there. The knicks again. Look what happened to the nets. The nets were a laughingstock. Then they weren't for a hot second and then they were a superstar free agency destination. The knicks can do that via trade or free agency down the line. They can get cap space into into seasons very easily. We'll talk about all that in a minute. Let's let's let me ask you much simpler question. Who's the starting center of the new york knicks. Such a good questions act and it's actually a wrote today. Friday it is about that golden. It's continued me because mitchell robinson was the starter. When he was healthy last season he was not healthy often. He suffered two significant injuries. I think it was limited to thirty regular season games and nerlens noel. Really filled inadequately was a big part of that nick. Defense when robinson was out. Who's a big part of why the knicks ended up with the fourth best defensive rating and then he signs a three year deal in the off season to come back to new york. Noel that has enriched robinson was extensible still is extension eligible. But i think the knicks have pretty much decided that they're gonna let him go into unrestricted free agency next summer so such an interesting It just an interesting backstory there with the center position because they're gonna be battling in training camp for the starting spot. Timetable does said throughout the year. Like he didn't care who started in who finished. He was happy to have to really good does starts. You guys all get obsessed with the started five. Who finishes is is was. That is that actually. Yeah that's audio from last year. That's not replaying that i haven't tape from his His an interview. I did with him so he know but he was right because they got great rim protection. No matter who was in who is just gonna be interesting because you have no l. at around ten million a year. Is he going to be coming off of your bench and when you have given him that much money i think robinson the starting job is his to lose going into this thing. But that's one of the fun position battles for the next going into training camp up in tarrytown. Well that's that's one. I ask that question for this reason. Because the as i said the knicks were number one in field. Goal percentage allowed at the rim mitchell robinson. Look we've been waiting on the mitchell robinson leap for a while now. It hasn't really happened. He still has some of the same bad habits he's had but he's still a damned dangerous deterrent around the basket nerlens. Well had a career season last year. Career season was absolutely outstanding for the next steals blocks rim protection a little more discipline on the boards. All of it right and when you think about how much of a hit his team gonna take defensively. If any a lot of it comes down to julius randle head by far the best defensive season of his career. How much of that is sustainable. Talked a lot about how much offense is sustainable. We should have the other side of the floor. Conversation to know ellen robinson. How much of that is sustainable. If those guys can answer those questions in the affirmative. I think forty is close to average. Probably a little below average. That's fine kemba. Reliability if barrett and rj barrett made huge strides defensively and has and has all the tools to be a good multi-positional defender maybe across four positions honestly in bear it. Randall and the centers can sustain what they brought on defense last year. I think and you throw in. You know they're going to be well coached and as well prepared as any team in the league florida. You know that anything less than frantic effort is not going to be tolerated and the consequences will be real. If you do not provide that kind of effort i think the backbone of maybe not a top three or four defense again but at top seven. Eight nine defense. I think the backbone can still be there. I think should should still be a strong defensive team. If those big guys in particular can prove that last season was who they are. And i just say one thing quickly about mitch robinson Mike woodson who was in assistant with the knicks last year before going to Indiana iu and taking the head. Coaching job there. He spent time with robinson prior to last season and he had questions at that point about robinson's approach and willingness to be Professional to work every day to do what it takes to improve. But then by the end of woodson's time with mitch robinson. He said you know this kid is reading he's matured. He's approaching things the right way so that to me was was interesting potentially important when we talk about robinson going into this season. Does he take that next step. Because of Maturation process but by large What you said. I think is accurate. Because it's it's so hokey to talk about culture and standards but with tom dibitetto. He established they won last year. The importance of going on going one hundred percent giving it your all on defense. If you didn't do that you were going to play. And that was that's real. It's not just the israel one hundred percent and so because of that. I think that the guys coming in kemba walker been forty. They'll be held to that standard and just based on that alone. I don't think that they would regress to like a middle of the pack. Defense this coming season but it's a. It's a test that to test for his coaching staff To get these guys to defend as a unit one thing rj barrett very great wingspan. Great strength reggie bullock off into gone. The opponents tap perimeter player last year. It's going to be interesting to see if that falls to barrett or how they worked at going into the season. The other thing i'll say is peyton to kemba is a defensive grade just in terms of size and physicality but i don't think it's nearly the defensive guy downgrade that people would make it out to be i think l. elfriede peyton reliability defensively. He gambles he's a space cadet. I think he's overrated defensively. So i don't think that hit is going to be as big as people think so. Let's game it out then. The starting five. Let's just say noel wins the job. Let's just say for fun. Ones kemba forty barrett randall. Noel rock-solid should be a good lineup bench and you're not gonna go five-man bench unit for part of the good part of every game goes quickly burks topping robinson taj gibson in their kiddos as sort of your emergency break in case of whatever guys. That's a solid bench unit. I mean you know as well as i do. Derrick rose plus quickly was plus fifteen per one hundred possessions in the regular season rose quickly burks plus twelve. They were just regularly. Destroying opposing benches less effective in the playoffs. Like every other part of the knicks team like. I look at that team quickly in year..

"Look it up on your phone so i was also curious about thomas's afterlife. But in a totally different way we're asinine decided to donate thomas's organs to science. While his death was inevitable. We thought maybe it could be productive. We learned to that because he would be too small at birth to donate for transplant. He would be a good candidate to donate for research so we were able to donate for things His liver his cord. Blood his cornea. Which is the front of the i in his retina. Which is the back of the eye. And i was curious as to if these donations really made a difference so later on. I was on a business trip in boston. And i remembered that thomas corneas went to a division of harvard. Medical school called the skeletons. I research institute. And i took some advice from cal and i looked it up on my phone and i saw that it was only a few miles from my hotel and i thought to myself i would love to visit this lab and learn more about where. This donation went Because i gave them a donation but it wasn't just signing a check or giving a bag of clothes. I gave them a gift of my child at the same time. I signed the informed consent. Forms that state that i know that once i make this donation not going to get any more information about it and i signed them anyway. I did that fully informed so if they did not welcome me. I would understand where they're coming from. But i really thought. I think i have the right to visit this place anyway. I thought you know if they reject me am. I really emotionally ready for that. And what's second due to my grief if they reject me but i called. I explained to the receptionist said dominated by sons. Is your lab a few years ago. The midtown for a couple of days. Is there any chance. I can stop by for a ten minute tour and there was a long pause and lucky for me. The receptionist was very compassionate and she didn't laugh or say it was weird which is a little weird she said. I've never had this request before. I don't know who to transfer you to. But don't hang up because i'm going to find somebody for you. Don't hang up so she connected mita someone in donor relations which it was not organ donor relations. It was financial donor relations. But she knew how to give a tour so we set up an appointment and the next day i showed up. And she introduced me. To one of the people who requests corneas. Dr james zinke. He's a professor of ophthalmology at harvard. Medical school and i stood in his doorway. She explained to. I was and he was eating a whole foods salad at his desk and he stood up and he thanked me for the donation and he shook my hand and he said. Do you have any questions for me. I was.

"I was three months pregnant with identical twin boys. When my husband rawson. I learned that one of them had a fatal birth defect our son thomas had annan subtly which means that his skull and brain or not formed properly and babies with this diagnosis typically die in utero or within minutes hours or days of being born. So this diagnosis was devastating. And also confusing. I had never heard of this. Poor didn't run in my family. And i wondered was something a eight was it. Something i drank was something i did but then even if it was why was one of them healthy so i was wrestling with a lot of questions that would really never have an answer. And i had to make peace with that and It was almost like having an annoying hum in the background. So six months later the twins were born and they were both born alive Thomas thomas lived for six days and coloma's healthy and rawson. I moved on the best that we could. We had a beautiful healthy boy to raise and we decided early on To tell them the truth about his brother and we have a few pictures of thomas in her home and it was a few years a few years later that it seemed that callum starting to comprehend what we were telling him and sometimes he said things that were sad and sometimes he said things that were kind of funny. We visited thomas grave a couple times a year. And i remember one time. We said to him We're going to bring some flowers to put on thomas. Grave in callum picked up one of his little matchbox cars. Says i want to put this on on the grave to which i thought was really sweet and then once we were there callum said to me. Is thomas scared under there. Of course. I don't really know the answer to that. You know i can pretend so. I just said to him. No he's not scared and then later on we were sitting on the couch watching cartoons and callum said to me. Mommy what is it like in heaven again. I don't really know. I'll do my best so i just said well You know it's a place some people think it's a place you go when you die and some people don't believe it's it's there in callum interrupted me and he said no mommy.

"Birthday card. It said to morgan on it and when you opened it up it had slots inside of it where you're supposed to put pennies from the year that the baby is born and all of the nineteen eighty-three pennies. Were still in there. So i keep digging through this box. And there's more first birthday cards and there's cards from christmas and halloween because who gives greeting cards on halloween and thanksgiving and birthdays and valentine's day and cards that i received just because or because we had a fight and it dawns on me an apparent that this entire box is every single greeting card. That was ever exchanged between me. My mom and my dad from the time that i was born up until the fairly recent past and i just did not understand this box and it made me really angry and upset because obviously something that i was supposed to know about this box something that she knew she was saving these things for a reason but i didn't know what it was and now all of a sudden. Here's this box of memories that i am confronted with. This is what. I was so worried about losing in the house but now they're my responsibility. And before i knew it my whole body just started reacting without me. And i panicked and i started to throw everything away just ripping things throwing them and i'm weeping and that's how my dad found me was like in a pile of greeting cards new surrounded by stuff so i tell him about the box and we start to sort of calmly go through it and he picks up a card and he looks at it and he says i remember getting this birthday card. I had it on my desk for a while. And then i threw it away. I specifically remember throwing this card away so now we have this moment where we're laughing together at this image of my mom like digging through the trash to save greeting cards and it just dawned on us that we're never going to know the answer to this mystery. She's gone and i'm looking through cards and cards. That i signed my name to but that i don't remember buying and cards. That have my name on them. But that i don't really remember getting and without her without her logic and her magic. You're just stuff just her stuff but the box the cards. They weren't my memories to save. They were her memories and she had just saved so much stuff that none of it was really special anymore. You know to me that the most special thing about this box was that she had cared enough to save it in the first place and that i got to experience that one more time so we each took a few things and ultimately we decided we could let it go and get rid of the rest of them. We took him to the recycling bin. And the next day. I went back new york and i never set foot in that house again but i had this new sense of calm about the whole thing and in the back seat with me on my drive was a box of christmas ornaments and a card full of nineteen eighty-three pennies..

"So my life changed forever. On the day i get a phone call from my recent ex girlfriend telling me she was pregnant and that i was going to be a father now. I didn't want to be a father i. I didn't think i could be the reason being. Of course the relationship. I'd had with my own dad. He disappeared. When i was an infant was gone for years without a trace and the first time i ever met him i was eight years old. It was the summer of nineteen eighty at my grandparents house in boston. Where i'd grown up in this car pulls up in front of the house in this guy gets out. I've never seen before. He sees me standing there and he sticks out his hand. he's like. Hey son. I'm your dad. What do you say to that. I mean how you supposed to feel well. I was terrified a and confused and a little bit excited. Because of course i'd always wanted to know my father and a little while later. We're in the backyard. And i'm checking them out and he's sitting there on the steps and he's got this long tufted piece of grass in his mouth and he's got red hair and freckles. Looks like huckleberry finn and he turns to me and says so what do like to do for fun and my heart sank. Because i knew the right answer right. There's only one answer sports. That's what fathers and sons do baseball basketball. But back then i was blind in my left eye in the vision in my right eye was failing. I wasn't allowed to play contact. Sports so i told the truth. I said i like nature. I like snakes frogs. Anything i can catch and putting a jar and he lit up because it turns out. That's really what he and he came over. He said really want to go to some butterflies. And that is exactly what i wanted to do. But i turned him and i said but i don't have a net is like oh you don't have a net. That's okay. I'll make your net a mike. You're gonna make me a butterfly net. It's like oh yeah sure. Within a couple of minutes. He had an old mop handle and a piece of copper wire. Pepperidge farm bread bag fashion. You annette and it wasn't pretty. But i could see that it would work so as we walked up the hill toward the field where the butterflies were thought. Is this what. It's like having a dad someone to go catch butterflies with and when you don't have a net he makes you a net it. It's like having a superhero around the house. I mean it felt really really good but later that night my mom came in from work and needless to say was a little surprised to find my father. They're having not seen him for almost eight years and a little while later she pulls me aside and says listen. Your dad's gonna take off. I'm going to drive them out to the highway. And he's going to hitchhike home. Niwa and i went outside and my mom and dad climbed into my mother's old rusty yellow ford fairlane and wave to my dad new wave to me and i never saw him again. That hurt that hurt. And within a couple of years lost the remaining vision in my right eye went totally blind and i got very angry and anyone who knew me back then. Well he's blind. It's frustrating it's hard to a certain extent. Of course that's true. But i was really wrestling with this much older pain this hole in my heart that my father's leaving had left me with it. Left me with the feeling that. I never wanted to be a father. I didn't think i could be. But now here i was thirty years after seeing my dad i was going to be a father myself whether i liked it or not and i didn't know what to do so i called a lawyer and the lawyer says well listen son. You don't have a legal problem. You have a family problem. And there's nothing in the world that says you have to be in this child's life and hung up phone and i thought okay this guy might know the law but he doesn't know me and maybe i didn't know myself because the more i thought about it the more i realized that really what i wanted more than anything in the world was to be a father and i wanted to be a good father. I didn't an absentee dad like mine. But i was going to do that. Rachel had broken up. We'd been living in brooklyn. I'd moved to boston. We weren't talking. We're fighting on email. And i sent her an email. I said listen rachel. This baby deserves both a mother and a father fought with each other. That's all right but can meet me halfway and luckily for me. He said yes pretty soon. I'm getting emails like hey the babies the size of a raspberry and doing great. And i'm like oh my god. I'm going to be thought there. I just need to figure out how to do that. Really really quickly. So you know what do i do. When i don't know how to do something. I go to google and type in how to be a good dad and now this is a few years ago. I don't know about now but back then. If you were going to be a mom there was all kinds of stuff you know. This is what you should eat to help your breast milk. What you shouldn't eat. This is how you cover your summer bump. But there was very little for dads. I've got another email babies the size of plum tick tick when you hear a baby's six or seven months away. That sounds like an attorney. But we're talking biological time there's no negotiating with a baby. It's coming so i'm a big reader. I thought i'm going to read my way into being a good dad. Never said okay. Yeah you get some memoirs. Pick up to bias. Walk this boy's life. So i pick it up and i start reading it and i'm like what a great book it's a kid he's like he's got no dad he's making his way in the world. Then the book ends. He's not a dad. I have not learned anything.

She was the type of person that could take any mundane life event and turn it into a party in about 10 minutes flat. She was really, really into holidays. Um, and she could take our normal suburban Pittsburgh house and turn it into all these magical worlds. Uh, And not just for holidays like everybody decorates for. We had a special set of flags that were just for Memorial Day that were different than the flags that we used on the Fourth of July. Christmas was a really big deal. We had a tree in every room. And every tree had a theme. She liked themes. I never had a birthday party that didn't have one. There was the Victorian Tea Party and the fitness birthday party. I'm an only child. Who can I say, uh, I think she just really wanted everything to be special. Growing up like this. That also meant that our house had a lot of stuff in it. If we're being honest, she was a packrat verging onto a hoarder..

And i i recommend to a to our listeners that they check it out maybe wait till the lighthouse restoration has done or not but It's gonna be exciting when you increase public access and open up that lighthouse to really pull out where you call home but if you can make a commitment where we do the grand opening of this lighthouse when it's fully done. We cut the ribbon. I like you. They're like to be a part of it. And i'd like to be one of the first people to say. I saw the renovated lighthouse.

"We still have a project ahead of us and that is to continue to work on completing the river walk along. The hudson river are plans to extend longer than i'm an office But would be to create a path that you could start out on the bronx border and walk the full north south distance along the hudson river parts of it in place parts of it or not. And we're going to be working on trying to do the engineering studies for the portion. That goes under the bridge because we're not to extend out over the river to do that but when that's done this you know the the walking path or the bicycling paths with our people. Use it. it's going to right past the lighthouse so we expect a lot of tourism would want people to go in walk around and we haven't yet figured out you know all of the little accoutrements that will go with it. but you know. We're excited that. This is yet another part of our tradition of Of this county. That we're reclaiming isla ford visiting there on the Lighthouse restoration has done some. This other work takes place. I was last there in two thousand eight so things have changed quite a bit including the the new bridge and everything so really look forward to to seeing all the improvements. So why do you think this project is important to the community there. Tarrytown and the county westchester county last couple of levels the first level. I think we've already talked about which is it is a generator of tourism. Not necessarily as the sole destination the area but that's an added destination an added feature to see and that will help attract tourism so on that level of it's good on the second level of it i think it's capturing a portion of our past when you know the these lighthouses existed everywhere. It was part of the hudson river being the main source of transportation and colonial era. That took you into the in linden ultimately would have became connected in part of the erie canal system it became a a reason why the whole interior of the united states of america group is once you connected the atlantic ocean to the great lakes. Now you're halfway through the united states and you can bring product from minnesota and wisconsin all the way through and bring it through the new york harbor and this was a lighthouse that existed as part of that safety process. You're touching in addition to something that that has a An iconic status for us. It's really history as well. And i think we're proud of that history and then also the kings one point park which wraps around it and the new Complex that's going up for townhouses nearby This enhances the value of that. And i suspect you know people who looked move to westchester do so looking for added value and value in sort of intangibles things that represent creating a an ambiance makes them wanna live there.

"Mascot is the headless horseman. And all that so The park itself that the white sits in and the lighthouse itself sits in sleepy hollow. Because it was north tarrytown on it's on the border the tarrytown beyond borders right there It was always referred to his tarrytown historically right now. We're not going to rename the light lighthouse. We're gonna fix it. But the the logic of attack it into that abbad crane sleepy. Hollow image of that community makes a lot of sense for tourist purposes. I don't think people are gonna come from miles around to see this lighthouse as they might gate or the one on hilton head or some of the other great lighthouses but You know the tie-in with other features out of there we have some historic homesteads in the area. We have The old dutch church the rockefeller estate tycoon is not far so if somebody came to spend a day see a few sites have lunch. Perhaps the lighthouse would be part of sure. That all makes a lot of sense. I'm sure Most if not all our listeners are familiar with the sleepy hollow stores washington irving ed crane certainly a great part of americana american literature. So recently just in the last couple of weeks you announced a pretty substantial plan to rehabilitate the tarrytown. Sleepy hollow lighthouse. Can you tell me what the basic plans are for their station project. Well let me start by saying that. The lighthouse really has been neglected for a long period of time. I've been office three and a half years. We inherited what we think would be a number of different important public facilities. That should have been and could have been renovated and we're not some of them. Were needed work in a more dire straits historic homes to the house would collapse if we didn't do it. The lighthouse had enough structural stability to survive a little bit. So what we've announced now as to try to pick up after all of these years of neglect Is officially a three point. Four million dollar project and It really intends to stabilize the structure and stop further deterioration and then make it available for visitors to go in and see it. Walk to the top and all that work that has to be done as almost momo grocery list for any old structure that has been neglected. So we have to repair and repaint a host of different things. Windows and doors. There are cracks in the cellar and in the case on area. We have to replace the case on cracks with stitch plates after clean the foundation masonry restore interior plaster restoration of the wood floors reconstruction of a landing area between the bridge and the gangway the bridge and the gangway. Which gets you in. Have to put a new security gate on the mainland side of this and of course electric and exterior lighting You know it. It's a a heavy duty grocery list as exterior cast iron and that's essential to fix as well so it is a it's not a Expansion of the building. It is not sort of repurposing it in a different way. But it's bringing back to a normal good quality. You could walk inside. Walk through it have lighting. Have you know the integrity of the walls and all those things in place. That sounds great. A lot of those things are things that happened. Pretty commonly with caisson lighthouses cast iron lighthouses like problems with the case on cracks. And things like that. So i'm not surprised to hear the laundry list or whatever the you're you're talking about you know as we do the project anything can happen and construction projects like this may uncover additional needs. Discipline problems You find that. I think the political will exists to spend a bit more if necessary. We don't want to spend it to spend it but if there is a need to go beyond the three point four million..

So next we're gonna talk about tarrytown light on the hudson river in new york the tarrytown lighthouse went into service on october first eighteen. Eighty three about twenty miles north of new york city on the east shore of the hudson river. It's a cast iron case on structure with four stories inside and a light fifty six feet above mean high water inside. The watcher was automatic striking machinery for a fog bell which was mounted on the side of the tower. The first keeper jacob ackerman remains at the station for twenty one years ackerman and his wife. Henrietta had no children so they kept chickens in a spare bedroom. The akrons spent their fiftieth wedding anniversary in the lighthouse. Trapped by ice flows when he retired at the age of seventy eight. It was estimated that ackerman had saved nineteen people. From drowning the tappan zee bridge. Spanning the hudson river at its widest point was completed in one thousand nine hundred eighty five the bridge with powerful lights and a foghorn on it center span rendered the lighthouse virtually obsolete after years of abandonment.
