You were talking about electric vehicles earlier. I think my son plans on getting an electric vehicle hopefully this week because I think there's a $7,000 credit or something that goes away at the end of the month. So hopefully he doesn't procrastinate and miss that. I think he's just going to lease one. He works from home so he doesn't really have to go anywhere to work. I told him, well, if you're going to make a long trip, just rent a car. He's just going to start a new job tomorrow. He's been temporary contractor, but I think tomorrow he's supposed to be permanent, so he's going to get paid for the holidays for a change. It's like if he didn't work, he didn't get paid. Anyway, he comes over every Monday night to watch a football game and have a beer, and we'll find out how it went, and I'll let you know tomorrow. I think he's a big guy, and he can't drive a little car, so he makes a very good salary now. I think he's going to buy a Cadillac or lease one of them. That will be good, KB7PVW. This is repeater station kilo kilo. Yeah, I mean, that's the whole thing with the electric cars is you don't have to have just one car. If you have the ability to have two cars, you can have one car that you do a lot of trips on and use the electric car for just getting around town and going back and forth to work, something you don't have to go more than 100 miles one way because that should be able to get you there and back. My granddaughter's boyfriend had a stinger, one of those Kia stingers, and he ended up moving, buying a house out near my daughter, so my granddaughter's mother, of course, and it more than doubled his distance. He had to get back and forth to work, and driving that gas car was just killing him gas-wise, so he ended up buying a Tesla, used one, but he ended up buying a Tesla, and he used the Tesla to get back and forth, and he had the stinger just as a backup vehicle. I think he finally sold that, so now he's just got the Tesla, but they've got all different shapes and sizes of electric vehicles out there, so just to get back and forth to work, that would be one thing, and you can always lease it. I always thought about if I got an electric car, I'd probably lease it because after three years, four years, five years, I'd want to give it back before the battery needed to be replaced because once that battery needs to be replaced, that's 10, 12, 20,000 to replace a darn battery in those electric cars.
