He sees you bending low- suddenly there is a furniture blanket to lay down on. He notices the angle is back-lit, and out comes a hand-held 7B for some quick tests. Chairs for ADs, etc. It just makes everyone's life so much easier to have someone who thinks ahead and takes initiative. Thanks Justin!
