Oh, okay. You still got to be careful with that. It's still probably hazardous material that you're getting in. It just happened back in the 80s. I was learning scuba diving, and I went to this place in, I think it was East Hartford called Scuba Shack. And I remember at the time, because we were teaching us how to scuba dive, and the guy had a big van full of air tanks. And he had an accident. I think it happened in my own town of Wallingford. And he got killed. I don't know. I mean, I don't think the tanks blew up, but I think the tanks probably that were all in the back came forward when he rear-ended somebody, and all the tanks came forward, and he died. But you've got to be careful with that stuff. I always, when I was in the shop, when I was in welding shop, I took a year of welding, and I learned how to roll the tanks. I don't know. Do you ever, instead of picking up an oxygen tank, I could just pick it up, hold it in the palm of my hand, and kick it, and I could roll it in a straight line. Have you ever done that with tanks? Yeah, when I met Proxair, if we're using the bigger M tanks, we roll them. The little ones that we do, they're called Ds and Es. They only weigh seven pounds, the bigger one, the Es. So they're just pick them up in one hand, grab them by the post, and that's it. Like I say, we don't carry big tanks, so they're not too bad. And they're always strapped in, double strapped in the truck, so if anything does happen, they usually stay stationary. The worst thing that could happen with an oxygen tank is you knock the post off in an accident, because they're under about 4,000 PSI, so they become a missile in a big hurry.
