You definitely have guts! I doubt we'll get to $29 but hope I'm wrong for your sake. Either way it goes, we're coining fine money despite the public's misunderstanding about all things oil translating into the decimation of refiners.

Can you enlighten us a bit on how asphalt's market operates? Do things shut down during Winter months or is it more a matter of working around hard freezes? I'm assuming warm weather is far more conducive to paving operations as there's less need for diluents but perhaps heat and inexpensive naphtha or related solvents make things fully operable?

Your knowledge is valuable so if you get the chance---you will be of great help.

Thanks!
