He has kids, teenage boys, one of whom needs glasses.

the glasses are just something that's going to get lost.
Right.
And he, that experience has been mind bogglingly good for, for his family and other people that I've talked to in a similar situation.
So I think there's a there there, but I think at the end of the day, the more they move into physical locations, the harder this business is going to get.

this cyclicality and the reality.
This isn't like traditional healthcare, where it's fine through recessionary periods.

I do think those things are pressuring the business.

I'm absolutely a buy on Trex right now.
