I still feel like it's that loaded question like if I go down there, it'll be definitely a couple of years to finish. There's a lot of benefits financially. And I don't have to pay tuition. A lot of people have said I should do it. And I'm at the point where I still don't know. And that's awesome, but that's not going anywhere. You could go down there for a couple of years, and I'm sure they've got a good recovery community.
