We're on cool little birthday trip down to southern Arizona for her celebrating her birthday. And when we look at this progress, there's a, there's a process that would take almost 30 days to get done in this mine behind me. That back in the, in the early 1900s, the late 1800s, when this thing was operating, it was the busiest copper mine in Arizona. In the early 1900s. Take 30 days to get a done that now takes three hours. Not days. Three hours, 30 days. Three hours. Think about that. Think about what's happening in your life. Think about how you're digesting this video right now. Think about the progress that's happening now. This town booms and then it busts. What's the progress part? What about your life?
