All right, and the whole idea of him coming out and bringing it to my mom's doorstep, he was basically out of money, borrowed $6,000 from my mom to pay down those credit cards so he could have stuff to live on while he was with us, living with her. So now that he's arrested and may end up going to jail for some time, my mom's never going to see that money back. It's not like she could ... She's 81 and living on her savings and retirement stuff from my dad and the government, so it's not like she could afford to just throw $6,000 down a hole. So I'm pretty upset, shook up about that, but it's been a hard ... I guess it was a hard day. I was dealing with the truck for the last couple of days and now I have to deal with this, so a lot of stuff. But just wanted to have you guys updated on that. I'm here, but I'm not here. I couldn't tell you, I couldn't think of what I'd want to say as far as what the government ... I think Josh had a good point. There are different governments, the federal government, the state government, city government, and then community government, and they all have different roles. I think we put too much into the federal basket. Things need to happen more locally because that's where ... I think more of the power and everything should be in the local government because that's where people have to say they are there, the leaders are there, your state representative, or even your federal representative, they're hundreds or thousands of miles away from where you live, so things need to be handled more local because that gets things done and those people have to be there continuously. They live there, they see you daily, the people daily that they're governing, and I think that's where the power should be, not the federal. Federal has very limited ... should be very limited things that they can do. That's about all I can consciously comprehend and put forth. Who's going to grab one? That's all I can intelligently put together at this point in time. So keep me on the list, but I'll be here.
