Cost and the expense. And we used to banter this around in the Cheyenne Mountain on a lot of cold, dark nights on alert and doing an exercise or for real world contingency. And often times, we would sort of come to the conclusion, what is it worth to us . Is it worth seattle . San fransbn, or los angeles, or increasingly now colorado, denver, heartland of america.
