We all know the sandwich generation right now is between their late 40s and mid-60s, where they could still have kids at home, but they also have parents that they need to take care of. We call those people the sandwich generation. There's a lot of people right now in that sandwich generation who are not realizing what their responsibility's going to be in the future. Right. And then there's others who are realizing that probably in 10 or 12 years, I'm going to be in an area caring for a parent. And what those people are doing is they're now out traveling. They're the ones that you see in their 40s and 50s going to Thailand and the Philippines and Australia and Europe, and they're getting their traveling in now. They're planning for that traveling while they're still young because they know that they're going to be taking care of someone they love a lot. Sure. That is a plan, Gary. That is seeing it high and letting it fly and seeing it low, letting it go.
