You know, I did read an article not too long ago, though, Ben, that talks about people that travel, truck drivers, salesmen, stuff like that, where they're all over the place. And it's really hard for them to settle down after retirement because their lifestyle has been so different from what it is now in retirement. So you get in a plane or you jump in a truck and you do this, that, and the other, and you stay busy, and you have schedules and all that kind of thing. And then all of a sudden, you get off the merry-go-round, and you're sitting at the house. And it takes, according to this article, it can take years for you to acclimate to this new schedule compared to, let's say, you had a librarian, and she worked at the library there checking books and categorizing, and this, that, and the other for 40 years. Well, she's used to being in one spot all the time, so it's not so unusual for her to be at the house and relax and read a book, or this, that, and the other, where these other positions, like I was just saying, that require travel and constant, what would be the word? Chaos, I guess you'd call it. In fact, the article is even talking about how these people have shorter lifespans after they retire because they have no purpose in life.
