Hello Jack, beautiful day out here. Finally got outside to do some stuff. Cutting up some wood for a friend and cleaning out my old Kia a little bit. Just making it presentable because it is a mess. Yeah, on that topic of airlines and so forth. So yeah, there was in the recent bill that was passed some time ago, one of the things that's being cut is support for small communities that don't have any regular air service. I don't think there was any locations in Washington that were affected, but in Oregon there's at least one. And apparently the federal government was giving 80% coverage for the flight cost of flights. So the people that had to go would only have to pay 20%. And this is for places where they didn't have any access to certain facilities. For example, someone that could get to a hospital for appointments and so forth. They'd be able to take this reduced cost flight. And so that is ending. But again, I don't think there's anything in Washington state that's affected. They didn't mention anything about airports. These are just kind of like, as someone mentioned, one flight a day type of thing that will no longer be supported with the federal funding. TI7-CEI.
