And so I immediately had this trust and comfort and science and understanding, you know, dispersion of fumes in an open area versus like a room or something. So that's like that's like the first part. Right. Yeah.
The second part is with my dad. So my dad, um, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the air force. He was also a nurse in the ICU and, um, for 30 years.
