I would bet you're right, and I have no idea what those figures would be. But it does beg the question, doesn't it? I was just focused on trying to get rid of my stash, but I have no idea how widespread that is.

Yeah, nationally, but that's still a lot of cash floating around that we probably pass it on our own services.

That is so perceptive of you. And I remember one day I was walking around a little mall in Idaho and there was a Hispanic lady and she had her little three-year-old daughter with her while she was cleaning windows of these little shops. And I thought, that poor lady, she's out here, you know, busting her back, Can't afford a babysitter.

And so I remember at the time throwing one of the bills down at her feet and thinking that she'd see it. But she was so focused on making sure the streaks were out of the windows. And I said, pardon me, ma'am. I says, pardon me. And I pointed to her and I said, you dropped that. And she said, she looked at her, she says, yes. No, no es mio. Come on. Take the hint. Go with it.

I said, no, I'm sure it's yours. You stood on it. You must have dropped it. So please pick it up. It's yours. And she was amazingly grateful that somehow manna from heaven had just fallen to bless her life a little bit. An extra 20 bucks. But you do. You look around for ways that you can help somebody, just a beggar on the street, anybody. Hey, 20 bucks will make a big difference in your day.

And there was a great deal of joy in that. That's very perceptive.

Oh, yeah. It ended up that Tommy the Shark and I, after I paid him off... We stayed in touch, and I saw a different side of him that I'd seen, not just the gruff, menacing guy, but I saw the human side. And he and I became relatively close. He called me one day. He says, Russ, I've got some health problems, and I don't know how serious it is, but I want to go get away. I want to go to Mazatlan.
