Watched ya’ll sticking it out last night….great job, stay safe. Sub’d
Why some fellow in video Program or outside blocking my comments and delete my comments .it is social media dislikes or like comments will come do not be stupid character
Excellent video.
Im a trucker and i skipped this storm because i watched the weather apps! And ive been driving otr for 14 years, i went a totally different route and guess what? I didnt get stuck and im home safe and sound
Can't put a price on smarts
Days of warning .. yet STUPID people had to go and try their braindead LUCK .... serves them right for getting stuck ... Shed no tears ... this is HILARIOUS comedy ....
Do much discretion do truckers get to decide their route and timing?
Smart man!
Same here. I was just thinking to myself i have angels around me because i was hitting the road Saturday
That tow trucker driver is amazing.. thank you Jeremy Abrams - you are a professional!
I wonder how many frozen trailer brakes he had to pound loose? Because I doubt most of the drivers even knew it was likely to happen.
@@user-qr8ki8ue4iThank you, I was wondering why he was digging.
He's making a fortune $$$$ on that single stretch of road.
@@kalidilerious If he doesn't die or get terribly hurt.. Wow... snap cables, and metal breaks at some point also.. wow Open alignments shop at the bottom!
@@hal8683 wow?? is that an acronym?
Thank you all the men and women are working under tough weather. God bless you all❤❤❤
probably 9 men for every 1 woman, so much for equality as soon as hard work is involved :D
@@mcpr5971Just being negative some people can’t help themselves I guess
@@sparklight0964 I think it's positive pointing out the truth.
@sparklight0964 that's the reality, don't get feelings assigned to it
Can't pay bills with a thank you, but thank you. We need to get paid more, not have middlemen like brokers taking 30+% of our pay.
It may have hit hard and fast, but there was plenty of warning of it coming. I'm in Maine and I knew about it. Incredible job Jeremy! Strong younger men (and women) keep this country rolling.
I’m from this area, not Maine, stay in your lane. Got the msg about a storm coming. We live there TO get hit by storms. That’s why the snowboarding is so good. As for your appreciation to those keeping it up and running. It’s men, not even necessarily young men, but after 47 years in the area I can promise you it’s not women keeping things going. Not at all.
Mostly men
Well said,,
Same here in NH. Plenty of warning
I am a strong and stubborn woman, but I know I would not have been able to do what Jeremy has been doing, not for 30 hours. I might have lasted maybe 30 minutes, then I would have been yet another person who needed to be rescued. Yes, I'm strong, stubborn but an honest woman. Thank you Jeremy and everyone who is working so hard to help the people in this storm. You are heroes!
I drove a tow truck in Truckee during the 70's. we were on CHP rotation call 24-7. i got a call to get a stalled car out of the way on top of Donner pass with people inside. and CHP had closed the road at the inspection station at the bottom of the mountain. i was pushing snow over the hood of my truck. and it was still snowing. the car was completely buried, only the antenna was visible. the people were excited to see me, thought they would have to spend the night there. got them back to town, they invited me to supper, we ate, they paid their tow bill, and i went home. normal day in Truckee.
Hey Mickey, nice to know your still around. This is Keith's old buddy Jeff.
Those were the days!
Disrespect Mother Nature then Expect to suffer 😢
What cool tow truck you have ?
Good job, Thank You!
Jeremy has common sense. Reality Bites!
Hats off to you, Jeremy. Especially in times of extreme emergencies, remember to take take care of yourself. With fatigue comes decreased mental acuity and increased chance of injury. Locating the landing gear, when buried under feet of snow, first try. 👏👏👏
I commend the dedication to your craft and your hard work under extreme conditions. Stay safe. Thank you, sir.
Teamsters 💪
He isn't doing it because he is a nice guy. He probably is a nice guy but the tow truck business makes most of its income in these conditions and late at night. Not like a routine sunny afternoon AAA road side assistance call. Check out the unique capabilities of his tow truck specifically tailored to these road conditions. It needs to stay fixed in place while pulling out the stuck truck. Given the weight of the stuck truck and the surrounding snow it takes a powerful force to do that.
@@dennisminer7436 would you do it? Get the motivation to drive through a storm like that to save people you might think they are idiots, but you have to save them anyway without judgement? For me, Mister Jeremy is a hero alright!
Its the Jeremy's in the world that keep it going.
@@evelioroque3706 My longest stint ever plowing snow was 92hrs straight, 40hrs straight time 52hrs overtime🤑. Its a job and you know the hours when getting into it.
@@Lt_Traggonly if Jeremy gets paid handsomely for his efforts. There's no such thing as a non-profit tow company in these Sierra Nevada mountains. 😅
Jeremy is the man! Great attitude
Im canadian and knew what would happen here.. check the weather boys, truckee is famous for all this. Bless CHP and their notifications and hard work
Sending many prayers and blessings to all the truck drivers and the workers who are helping them to remove the snow.
Not going to lie, with a warm cabin and food and fuel stocked up, I LOVE being snowed in with big storms like this.
Absolutely! It's a perfect time to enjoy a break with someone special 😀
Tow truck operators are some of my heroes! 👍👌😎💫🇨🇦
Thank you Jeremy A. and all the hard working men and women like you! You keep countries running!
You know the extremes that the tow truck operator is working under. This guy is one tough hombre. In addition, that cable is a constant threat to snap. A cable is really a machine in its operation. When frozen it can fail catastrophically. As a secondary comment, I think that the drought is over for a while.
At least for this year. 😊😊
@@bethsojourner6798 I think at this point maybe 2. That snowpack must be pretty deep by now. I imagine that must have been close to what the Donner Party faced. Best Wishes.
You'd be surprised how mismanaged our snow runoff is, most of it will end up in the ocean. 🙄
@@hogi99 Unfortunately you are correct. Hopefully it will replenish some of our depleted groundwater stores. The Government is Professional at mismanagement of everything.
@@Dodgerblue7381-ey3ql They continue to set the bar low and outperform at sucking.
Hats off to you, Jeremy.
You can tell the professional drivers, they the ones smart enough to leave enough space between parking trucks to enable snow removal equipment space to work.
but not smart enough to go and get stuck in the first place ??...hmmmmm
Professional drivers were never have attempted to drive through a blizzard.
The real professionals would be sitting in reno not along side the road.. fools
the professional truck drivers are smart enough to wait for the storm to pass before climbing Donner Summit. These guys are not. Are they trying to recreate the Donner party of 1846?
Notice the majority are door swingers and yelling a non English language....ill bet that a majority have more than one pair of sandals in their cab too
I LOVE watching these recovery's !!! GET ALL THE VIDEO YOU CAN !!! 🤣🤣👍👍
This area gets some interesting ones for sure.
God bless truckers
Thank goodness for the likes of Jeremy.
If only those folks knew the storm was coming! LOL
I know right. ..if only there was a device that you could carry with you that you could press a button or two and tells you what the weather will be where you're traveling. Someone should get to work on that. 😂
And have the weather and road condition reports broadcast in Arabic, Farsi and Hindi.
@@spikespa5208 The GPS systems in their trucks can be set to whatever language they want it set to. But maybe, just maybe.... we should require truck drivers to possess enough proficient English that they can understand a weather warning.
Think about it, these folks had to take a written driving test and an on the road driving test to get their PROFESSIONAL driver's licenses..... why do we allow this to be done in anything other than English?
Even still, their smart boxes in their trucks tell them the weather in whatever language they need it to be in.... they simply chose to ignore it.
Import 3rd worlders.... turn into the 3rd world. Simple as.
There is a device for that its called.........COMMONSENSEANDPLANAHEAD.... but now i realise not all truckers has that device😂😂😂😂😂😂😢
How would they have their CDL and who’s ignorant enough to hire someone illegal? Don’t say it’s fake documents….you gotta be real dumb if the person doesn’t even speak English. Right?!
Well-done story. You captured the many aspects of the storm. Great images of the incredible snow, the buried trucks. Great interview with truck-rescue operator. You really gave us a feel for what it was like to be there. Thanks!
All unnecessary. No excuse for trying to drive over the summit with all the readily available weather information.
There's nothing like being snowed in to take the pressure off. Been there. Very relaxing!
@@weirdshibainu With all the available weather info the officials should've closed the roads. Leaving them open tells the public they ok to drive on. The public knows there's snow plows to plow the roads so they trust if the road is open then it's ok.
@@SJ-vo1bw Lol. I'll us my weather app and own thinking over your theory of what officials should have done. Sheep

"Hey, the customer needs you to deliver this Reno load in the morning by 6am, the chain light is not on, so hurry and you'll make it!"
"Okay no problem, I'll call you when I get there!"
Come Thursday.
I did logistics in Reno. I always told my drivers just to wait and management that it would be late. When management would complain I'd just answer " Ever heard of the Donner Party?"
Maaaaan I thought I almost lost my brother and my dad this weekend. Didn’t even know he took a load to Reno with this storm. Scary
When the chain up sign says chain up there's a reason for that. That's a mountain you should respect. You haven't seen winter till you see I 80 west of Reno Nevada. Great show 👏
Outstanding Jeremy A keeping the truck drivers rolling. Positive attitude in severe weather. You are a credit to the USA 🇺🇸
Brotherhood of All Truckers 🚛 Strong n safe💪💪💪💪💪💪💪✨✨✨✨✨✨🙏🙏🙏
Thank God for our truck drivers, no matter where they are from. We'd be up a creek without them!!!
Ya, but the wrong creek
@wadly99 yes, starving is "up the wrong creek" alright.
Jeremy, I think the man behind the curtain told the work force don't stop. This is an example over how much control the power brokers have over us. Those drivers knew about this impending weather, but were told to drive on.
The best video yet on actual road conditions and hardships caused by this storm!
Concur.
Those tow truck drivers are heroes 👍❤️🙏🏻
What drivers don’t realize is how long Donner pass is. It’s 20-30 miles long at the summit. Cal DOT should have closed it hours before.
Jeremy Abrams is a workhorse, wow what a guy
Stallion !
Bravo Jeremy!
Jeremy, #1 Alpha Male Your hard work is appreciated. from the Oregon Coast
bearly speeak english , never see snow before nice job DMV
These tow truck drivers are miracle workers - all of them are just fantastic in what they do and how they do it.
When we were out driving our truck, we always listened to the weather reports and would avoid Donner Pass 🥶 We would take the southern route and avoid the mountains 😂
Yeah but you spoke/understood English! Interesting California Highway Patrol wasn't checking their green cards and making arrests. Surprise!
Exactly. The road would have been closed..and chain control on. I got notifications long before the storm
@@carollariviere5904 EVERYONE got notifications before this storm. Unless people are emergency personnel, every story about "surviving" this snowstorm on the internet should be met with people being publicly berated, in every way possible ostracized for being so stupid as to ignore the repetitive warnings we were given.
They endangered not only their own lives, but everyone else who's job it is to save them when they are too stupid to save themselves.
Nobody that got stuck in that storm is a hero. Not a single one of them. We need to publicly call out just how stupid they are.
@@revjaybird2Exactly, they were reporting about the impending storm for almost a week ahead of time. I saw some interviews with guys who said they had no idea conditions would be this bad. What??? Do they live in a cave? Always, always check the weather before traveling in the Sierra in the winter.
Its really terrifying that so many truckdrivers didnt speak or understand english. How did they manage to understand road signs or find their destination?!
All illegals
Google Maps....follow the arrows
How did they pass the licensing? Did their office help fill in the test for them? That should be investigated!
@@mrcryptozoic817there are forms in their language. At least they are working. I worked at SSA for a number of years and they come right in the country and get aged ssi and CAPI. Oh and it doesn’t make what administration is in the office. It happens with both parties.
You are required by law to be literate in English to receive a CDL. That's Federal law not state.
Truckers do not come out to dig? Wait for someone to do that? If they do not speak English, how did they do their licence and road training?
That's the new generation of steering wheel holders . They run around in sandals in the winter and most of those trucks you see buried in snow are driven by foreign drivers who barely speak english and drive like total idiots .
These are the truckers that will replace the Maga truckers that don't want to work for political reasons or drop loads out of protest.
Mexican's doing the work Real Americans don't want to do.
That's not true. You don't need to speak English to drive a truck. 😅
Same reason so many semi pile ups every winter now, hardly any of these drivers run CB's anymore no communication between drivers.
Go to a calif DMV and watch the area where people take their written test. You will shake your head in disbelief. 2 folks will help one guy pass the test. The drivers booklets are written in 4 different languages. God help you if you get Into an accident with a non native English speaker. But that's not as bad as the many unlicensed and uninsured drivers in calif. If you get in am accident with one of those folks you end up paying and the other guy has no ticket no liability no penalty.
Way better than anything on TV about this.
Drove between slc and northern cal every week for 10 years. Never once did I get stuck on that hill or use chains. Ca 99 to CA 58 to I15.
I know for a fact that some of these truckers barely speak English. I used to work for a distributor where we had common carriers that came in and barely spoke. This is scary that you have these kind of drivers driving these big rigs on our highways. It makes you wonder how they got their license if they can barely speak English let alone read signs. The roads at the bottom of the mountain need to be blocked during the storm.
Fraud.."DYI"
If they are illegal, why don't we have laws against hiring them, laws to incriminate the employers? Seriously.
@@SJ-vo1bw "We" _do_ ..they(the laws) are simply not enforced or if so, only selectively, in order to favor certain parties.
Is this because of a driver shortage or low wages or both?
@@wadly99 I don't know all I know is I've been seeing it for many many years. Besides trucking companies are giving bonuses just to hire an even including training them.
Jeremy is so cool his attitude is great!! God blees you!💯 🙏🏽
It sums it up jeremy the tow truck driver said it best " most of these guys don't speak English and never seen snow" man the trucking industry sure went downhill
Yes,told true same canada.i work pipeline western canada we have people show up from texas they never saw -45 below zero yup😊
Speaking English is no prerequisite to driving a truck. Stop talking like a rtrd. Ppl will learn how handle thing. Trucking does not require a PhD. Pretty soon trucks will be autonomous with no drivers.
Because you need to speak English to drive a truck?
@@TheRightONe-et3ghyes
@@lucmarchand617we had the same thing when I was in N Dakota.....guys would show up from Texas (in the middle of winter)and not have boots or heavy coats.....and actually be surprised it was so cold .....really ?.
and as u can see on the viedo most couldnt speak english,and probley coulnt read.when i got my cdl back in 89 .u had to speak and read english to get your license
"probley coulnt read"....irony
Says the person that has no idea how to type a proper sentence....
In Calif. if you know the right person at DMV you don't even have to know how to drive a semi. A 16 year old crashed a truck in L.A. At 3.25 why didn't he clear the first truck and make a lane for the rest of them.
@user-vd1uz3dj8l Money is the reason. Until you have a guaranteed paying customer, money in hand, and permission ... you do not engage in recovery.
If he's contracted by the state, it's a different story. Then, it would make sense to start with the first, uncover, and free each truck in line.
@rickorr2181 It's called youtube re-spelling whatever you type, haven't you noticed?
The semi recovery operations were very interesting. Big thanks! Bravo to the workers!
Thank you Jeremy! Thank you to all of those helping get people back on the road!
"Most of these guys don't speak English or have never seen snow." What has become of our industry?
How in the heck do you get a license to pull 80,000 pounds without speaking ENGLISH?
What a stupid comment!
Scary thought for the rest of us motering public.
Illegals aren't subject to your stinking laws.
Welp, once upon a time your recent ancestors came to this country, probably illegally, as all the other non-native people did, bringing with them the skills already learned in their own countries, and overcame the language barrier. Plus, it’s tough to find Americans that want to do this type of work.
Now I know why my Amazon order is going to be late.
😂😂😂😂
Jeremy Abrams the hero of the month I'm watching form Ontario Canada keep warm and save.
You know what? Any drivers ignorant enough to attempt traveling knowing damned well it is impossible should be left stranded. Do selfish things and you shouldn't get the luxury of assistance. There's not a single reason to travel during these WELL forecasted events. Plan to be where you need to be prior and/or simply wait...Stop creating the problems for everyone else who has to put themselves in danger for your ignorant choices. (not speaking of the videographers)
They’re not getting help they’re paying for help and it won’t be cheap
I hope that all of theses shellfish ignorant truckers get a citation and steep fines for what they have done. I bet they don’t even know why Donner summit has the name it was given
Trust me that had to cost 💰💰
We don't know
This was the reason my wife and I moved from Soda Springs a couple of decades ago.
Drove truck all my life in Canada with snow but this is entirely a new level of screwed up snow. My hats off to Heavy Recovery Opperators. Be safe Jeremy, big respect from East Coast Canada ❤
AMAZING TO WATCH THE TOW TRUCK PULL THE TRUCKS OUT OF THE SNOW.
Great job, trucking companies!
Thank you. 👍👍👍
I say Caltrans should have shut it down before the storm hit. Too late when the storm is full tilt.
The CA C of C says nay.
It's pretty sad that you want a road shut down early just so people don't act like complete idiots.
How about we go back to a life where we don't need a cop to tell us every step we can and cannot make.
I just look at the evidence, evidence says these folks can't make good decisions. To take your point to the next level, they shouldn't be rescued and be left to fend for themselves. @@revjaybird2
And “little” storms like this ,people can see why the Donner Party with wagons ,horses and oxen got stuck . And this was just one storm , they had them all winter.
The snow plow did them dirty!!! 😂
Anyone with an ounce of sense would of avoided that storm,
So true!! I am trying to feel sorry for these people but I don't. Its called look at the forecast!
Not those fools! 😂
@@javonr7794
They cant read write or speak English, they don’t listen to weather reports and cannot communicate on a truck to truck radio
THIS IS ONE BIG REASON WHY I MOVED TO FLORIDA. I KNOW FLORIDA HAS ITS OWN NEGATIVE ISSUES, BUT THANK GOD THIS ISN’T ONE OF THEM!!! I’M OUT WALKING ON A SUNNY 80. DEGREE BLUE SKY DAY AND I’M LOVIN IT❤❤❤
Didn’t see any of the drivers getting out to assist with shoveling snow from around cabs and tyres.
People here praising them- I think they are lazy .
I would have had my rig at least dug out on that drivers side.
Thank You Jeremy ! So very very much . . . !
Did my time in the Upper Peninsula and I was 6 months old..today 11 years later I'm at Dixie..growing my hair and working on my tan...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC Tractor Trailer Driver
I used to own a snow plow company in Canada and I appreciate the long, arduous hours the first responders, trainmen, tow truck drivers, and snow plow operators put in to keep the railways and roads open. I'd average 2 hours of sleep every 24 hours for 4 or 5 days until the roads were clear.
Yep....and I'll add to that. I was the Ops Manager of a company that had 30 units in the fleet of all descriptions and sizes. A "full call-out" meant phone calls went out at 4am for everybody to come in...for a start around 5:30am (big storm, lots of work)...a work "day" meant 12 to 14 hours before everybody was "back in the barn"....in 96 or 97 we had a stretch of TWENTY ONE days IN A ROW of "full call-outs" !!!
After about ten days the crew got a little "punchy"....had to handle them with kid gloves....then after about 15 days they all started thinking this was hilarious and making jokes about it....that got me real worried. I went to the owner of the company and told him we had a very real problem here....mental health!!!
At a local restaurant the host walks into the waiting lounge and said,"DONNER PARTY OF EIGHT!"
Congratulations!!!
You are the one millionth person who has mentioned Donner party😂🤣🤡👍
Oh my…..
As a cannibal, I like to drive I-80 during big storms for an occasional taste of the traveling public.
Did they get any service?
That might be the first joke that is older than the event that precipitated it.
Back East blizzards got nothing on California. 10 to 15 feet of snow . I live in Arrowbear CA and we had 10 feet last year and the mountains were locked down for 10 days. California isn’t all beaches and palm trees. Just watch the local weather reports, weather apps and social media
I hope those guys have plenty of fuel & food
God Bless. Stay safe
Dude didn't want to answer the question about how much money he's gonna make. Enough to get through the rest of the year probably.
Nobody’s business how much he makes
Great job Jeremy! Be safe....your positive attitude after 30 + hours is amazing!
This was so awesome to watch! There's some impressive tow men and machinery in this. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thank you for checking it out!
2:20 That is a beautiful Peterbilt Wrecker!
Wow, the amount of snow in such a short time is mind boggling. Love the recoveries and different techniques in this video. It used to be that long haul truckers were some of the best drivers you would ever see. With what I see on the road these days I am not so sure of that anymore. Still some great drivers out there but a lot more without a clue if the conditions turn bad.
Those trucks sure do make a great snow fence!
Watching from Orlando… and wishing a swift return to clear roads. Warms the heart to see so many people helping each other
Truckers have an advantage with their exhaust stacks. I used to be a volunteer (search and rescue) in the rockies. There were a few times people couldn't continue and left their vehicle running to stay warm. The snow built up, and the exhaust would slowly encapsulate the vehicle. They became recoveries instead of rescues.
Outstanding documentary clips!
If the driver was traveling west from Nevada, the driver would have witnessed hundreds of tractor trailers along the side of hwy 80 at the CA/NV state line waiting it out. Where was dispatch for the trucking company? Once pulled out he has to drive down the steep hill from Donner to Colfax, more snow. What a mess. They deserve the hefty fees.
All of this footage is Eastbound near the Soda Springs exit. Soda Springs typically get the most snow. Also where Sugarbowl ski resort is located. A locals favorite.
Dispatch doesn’t care, they always say to keep moving.
Dispatchers don't care about the truck drivers as long as they're loads get hauled
There is no where to park.
@@chilloften HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! There was nowhere to park, so they decided the best idea was to go over Donner Summit instead? HAHAHAHAHAHA That is the stupidest excuse I've heard thus far.

An important part of being a trucker is paying attention to weather and I don't like singling out people but those drivers speaking a foreign language have no ideal what they're doing.
Come on, just bc they dont speak english well doesn't mean They dont know how to drive
@@LindaBabby Being a trucker is not ALL about driving, PLANNING is equally important and that was my point.
Linda, youre unaware. This is truth!! They are dangerous
God Bless you all for helping these people to get out of the trucks, and the trucks who get saved to go on to their families, I love you and pray you have a safe journey home Blessings from Jesus amen. Theresa. this is an amazing crazy storm. I live in Maine. our storm is coming in March.
Wow at 3:11. Boys getting it done with finesse and safety. Snow warriors 🇨🇦
We’ll be drinking, showering and cooking with all that snow by August.
I love your weather coverage.....you all really go after it !!!!!! Thanks !
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy.
Wow, amazing footage, I am fascinated by the massive tow trucks, plows, snow cat tractor that blows snow in the air -and the trains. Who knew there was so much excitement in Truckee.
Appreciate that you let the events speak for themselves, no background music or narration.
The area is spectacular but even more impressive if you like the big toys. :)
Snow plows added greatly to this scene
I’m from Missouri and me and the wife drove thru Truckee in perfect weather in the early fall a few years ago. You did get the sense that the winter was coming and everyone knew it…
❤ you Jeremy! Be safe!!!
It’s not just the drivers that are clueless. Well, at least most of them will learn from this experience. I’m thinking, none of them are owners operators. It’s obvious the companies they work for don’t give a rip about there drivers. Working for CRST as an example, my co-driver and I would always expect calls from dispatchers telling us to “park it” during snow conditions. In hindsight sight, I’m grateful for that because not once was there a need for us to chain up.
'.. _their_ drivers..'
I was supposed to haul a load from Ohio to Sacramento, Ca..
Would have been stuck at Boomtown.Boss decided to get a Portland, Or load instead
Worked out fine just a little snow in Eastern Oregon. On Monday I'll reload from Portland to San Diego and do my one week of hometime in the warm sun,by the beach in a beautiful part of the country
@@tommyriam8320 sorry. Didn’t spell check.
@@skipleft thanks for that account. Ya made me 😊 smile
Geez Louise. Thanks for posting this. Its so darn scary. Big thanks to the rescuers. These amazing machines are awesome.
You would think that the state would start closing the roads long before they were that bad. Shut down early, that way you don't have spend so much time on pulling vehicles out.
Snowplowing is normal winter activity and we pay to logically keep roads in good repair to be open... Not randomly closed which can prevent locals to ways to address themselves as needed...
Hoping the company's that hired non Americans in foundamental American transportation ..
Hey Road conditions have live broadcast for more than a century ... so no reason to not know conditions...
Even Google maps show traffic flow... Sadly travelers choose not to know to be prepared and alter plans ..
That was snow plied up from plows!!!!! that's not what fell. but too many drivers not knowing how to drive in snow or ice shud not have been there. I've driven in white outs , up to skiing lodges..
You have to know you're vehicle, tires, etc. (4 wh. all wh) but you can't block roads & expect plows to get thru..
they came from city w 2 wh drives& babies in the car!!!
expecting locals to get them out!!
( sum of those truckers were not
experienced. )
Logistics is a nightmare
