Maybe I'm kind of curious what you're trying to accomplish here at Home Delivery World this year. So Home Delivery World, I was on stage this morning with Target and actually I had a red jacket on so that I was in the Target colors for the. You know, and we talked a lot about consumer experience and we talked about delivery expectations and speed and cost. So that's one of the reasons why I'm here.
