They don't have the same technology, they don't have some of the emergency shutoffs in them in the cords that some of the original cords have. So when we take a chance on buying a cheaper cord, we take a big chance with our home and our vehicles as well. So when we charge them, make sure we're charging them when we're awake. They're on a hard surface, not a bed or a pillow or a sheet. And that we unplug them when they're done. And one other thing to keep in mind is maybe don't charge them near where your exit would be on your first floor on how you would evacuate. And lastly, like we say every single year, and for 26 years, please please go home today and check your smoke alarms and make sure they're working. Make sure you have a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm near where you sleep, and hopefully we'll have a safe week here.

So just wanted to point that out that the bulk of their budget overage does have a specific revenue source to cover that.
