Thank you, Gray. Well, we got to Phoenix because, well, there are a couple of different reasons. One, my mom lives out in Casa Grande, so wanted some place close to her. My wife's friend, the one that immigrated from Germany, she lives in Phoenix, so they wanted to be close to her. Matter of fact, we lived with her for the first year we were out in Phoenix until we found a house and it got built. Plus, the headquarters for my company is right there in Phoenix, about four and a half miles from where we live, so it worked out pretty good as far as that goes. I like the mountains, even though we're in the valley. I like having seen the mountains in the background there. But, you know, even though I live there, I hardly live there. Being on the road, I spend a lot of time up here in Utah, so I get my four seasons up here. Right now, I get the range. But, yeah, for the last 29 years, I've just been all over the place. I haven't been in any one place for very long, you know. Even when we, well, we started out upstate New York when I started driving. That's where my wife's parents were from. And then once they passed, we moved out to California. That's where I mostly grew up. Then my parents left and we stayed there for a while longer, but then we finally moved out to Arizona. Then my daughter and her husband and grandkids moved out to Arizona. So the only one that I have left in California is my son. But I miss California. I mean, I grew up there with the beach and the mountains and Tijuana and I just miss the ocean, being close to the water. But as a truck driver living out there, I just didn't get out there very often. Not often at all. So, but that's, you know, like I said, we got out to Arizona. That's an incredible, all right, about eight years ago. And I like how it's warm all the time. You know, in the wintertime, it's nice because, you know, it gets cool in the evening. You know, you get to wear a sweater or a light jacket. But even though I miss the snow, I don't miss the snow. I'd rather just drive somewhere and get the snow so I don't have to have it, you know, where I'm living. But there you go. Back to you, Casey.
