O well I guess I sit around grow a beard and worry about landing currency next month.

It always an ebb and flow, it’ll probably look totally different a year from now. Also a lot of the VDA/premium opportunities I see especially lately is when the grid is green and we’re fat because they utilize reserves terribly.
