So, uh, I will also say that, again, I read you part of his quote, but, the governor of Puerto Rico is so thankful for the great job that we're doing. We did a great job in Texas, a great job in Florida, a great job in Louisiana — we hit little pieces of Georgia and Alabama. And, uh, frankly, we're doing—Self-aggrandizing stain on humankind. Fucking hell.
And it's the most difficult job, because it's on the island; it's on an island in the middle of the ocean. It's out in the ocean. You can't just drive your trucks there from other states.
And, uh, the governor said we are doing a great job. In fact, he thanked me specifically for FEMA and all of the first responders in Puerto Rico.
