EP autos.com. Always a place to have eautos.com. Always a place to have Eric on. We got a lot of stuff to talk about. There's been a lot of interesting news coming out lately. How are you doing, Eric?

Well, I'm feeling so very safe because apparently the pandemic is officially over today.

That's right. It's over, but the emergency martial law continues, doesn't it?

Yeah, you know, actually, speaking of that, the national terrorism emergency that was declared almost 22 years ago after 9-11, Biden just reauthorized that again.
