Yeah, we're almost out of time here, but I know you wanted to address the interstate bridge going from Portland over to Vancouver. Is that bridge ever going to get built?

And now it's the 13. My goodness. But I am supportive of the bridge. I think we were going to have to go back and look at it really carefully and ask ourselves if we can do it in stages.
