And I think that it's important, whether you're in Mingo county, whether you're in Martinsburg, whether you're right here in Nicholas county, that everyone knows that these miners go to work every day. They're doing really hard work. It's not always the safest profession, as we know, but people are stepping up right now. And the fact that there are people down there now and they're working hard and they're measuring the water and they're constantly evaluating, I think that speaks volumes to the character of these men and what they're doing.
