So if you look at the employees from federal facilities, if you will, Denali National Park, Glacier Bay National Park, people around the bases, they may have a different— some of them may be leaving Alaska. We don't know. If you look at the much, much smaller group of employees who are in real rural areas, they tend to be more like postmaster, postmistress. They're much less likely to leave, but there are far fewer of them.
