Well, fine business, Jeff. It's more brisk up here in the Pacific Northwest on the Salish Sea, but it's, you know, I don't mind this weather at all. I put on a layer, and I'm fine. I remember learning in the Park Service when I worked for the National Park Service in 1988 on Isle Royale National Park, and I'm walking through the woods, hiking through the forest, I should say, more than woods, wilderness, actual true wilderness, following an acting amictiloid ranger, Laura Combs, whom I had a serious crush on. And I made a dumb crip about the, you know, that we're walking in the rain with our hoods on and everything, and she just turned her head slightly to me following behind her and she said, there's no bad weather, only bad clothing. it made me fall silent for a good 15 minutes of walking can you imagine but I made a big impression on me I've never forgotten it and it's one of the reasons that I can enjoy be quite happy and content contentment just as brother Caddfield's priest would say to him, Brother Caddfield, be content. That's a command. I hold the hand up to me and I say, be content, Joan. And to the extent that I'm transmitting this in a form of media, I'm also content.
