But you know, you just have to kind of keep pinching yourself that 18 months ago the idea that any of these could possibly happen would have been frankly 4 ridiculous. And the fact that it has happened, they have kind of made jokes together at a news conference is a sign of the remarkable 5 progress nevertheless that has been made.
