Pop, I like the idea of taking the tests multiple times. I'll discuss it with her. Really she is doing everything on her own. She was born independent and really has always blazed her own path. Right...

Pop, Nope, all those good bills died in the weaning hours of the last legislative session. Have one more session to go through and maybe something will happen. Roughly, I think we've figured we'd give...
