All right. Thank you. Now I'd like to ask you a quick question about the pandemic. So we've experienced a lot of changes in 2020. And many of those have been negative and disruptive. But perhaps it's not all bad. What's one positive thing that you think you've experienced during the pandemic?
Roy Allen 1:14
I think the families have come together, spent more time with each other and enjoyed each other's company.
Brandon Presley 1:22
Okay. All right. Well, thank you for your time today, Roy.
Roy Allen 1:24
You're welcome.
