Yeah, nice to know there's somebody on the other end of the line, even if they are still— better they're, they're 20, 30 miles away than 120 or whatever, whatever it is. So, yeah, I would encourage us to be, you know, good partners with the people down there that are trying to fulfill that service. And, you know, we got money. I know the state gives, you know, some of those community organizations kind of pass-through grants and whatever that is, and we support them in different ways. I think it does bring up that question of the 9% cap.
