So earlier there was some discussion about the road between going into Santa Cruz and of course that's got to be Highway 17 and I'm quite familiar with it. And I had this experience many years ago where I was going with a couple friends. In fact, it was a friend of mine and his coworker. And so the coworker was driving. And as we're about to get to the point where you start going up into the hills which is Los Gatos, I think the locals call it Los Gatos. But anyway, we're about a mile from going up the hill and then his tire blows out. And we kind of lost control but then we were able to make it over to the side of the freeway, actually the left side of the freeway to the left of the passing lane. And then of course it turned out he didn't have a spare. That's a whole other story. But the point is we looked at the tire that had blown out. My God, there was no tread on it. You could literally see the fabric or whatever it is underneath where the tread used to be, probably hadn't been for months or years. And so I had a little bit of PTSD for a while thinking that if that had blown like three miles later or between three and 15 miles later as you go up that windy road to Santa Cruz, I probably wouldn't be here today. So anyway, thanks for bringing back good memories of Highway 17, KG70DB, back to Ned.
