Trying, oh, you know what, I think one of the problems is I might just be using too dark of a color for the shadow. So, let's try a lighter color. Oh, I like that better. And I'm going to go ahead and, shift this down a little bit. Actually I'm going to do this, bring the whole thing down. Then I'm going to, I'm spinning my wheels now folks. So this is the real world, real world…
