Well, I've been a proponent of, as you get older, especially in the 60s and early 70s, I think back of when we were in our 20s or late teens when we went to college and you had a dormitory, hallway with a bunch of rooms, so it could just as soon be an apartment building, and everybody just looked out for each other. You'd get up in the morning and you might open your door a bit or something so people would know you were up and you could just come and go. You could go knock on someone's door and go hang out. And I think that if older people did that, and I'm thinking not just move in with a bunch of strangers, but that if a group of people just said, hey, let's go move into this building together, that everybody could keep an eye on each other. You'd still have your solitude when you wanted it, but at the same time, I think you'd have that social interaction, and I think that would be more beneficial. You wouldn't have people that are just getting lonely and all that. Yeah, exactly. Well, it would be nice if they had condominiums for old people only, not young people, but just for elderly people, then that would be the best because everybody, all the old people here, I'm one of them. We sit home all day and we sit out on our porches. In the morning, I sit out on one side, one porch. In the afternoon, I have another balcony on the other side of my condo. I just stay out on that porch. And all the old people are all doing the same thing. And we do sort of watch out for one another. We always whip out. We talk. They drop food off for me sometimes, give me some corn or strawberries. They're nice people, so we always keep our eye out for one another. And the only thing that you could do past that is probably go into a nursing home. And you want to know the problem with those nursing homes? They don't take care of you. The whole point is to make it not last as long so they can rent it out to somebody else.
