Governor, can you update us on the mine situation before you leave? Yes, very briefly. I was told down at the mine in Nicholas county last night and had an update. The dewatering efforts continue. The big strategic goal right now is to drain as much of the water as possible so that that can give the mine rescue individuals the opportunity to go in and further their search. So as we have more information about that, we're going to make sure that we're updating the public and the media. But right now, so much of the efforts are focusing on dewatering separately.
