The thing I would urge is that we would take advantage of the wilderness and the ferocity of the winter, as it can be ferocious at times, to try to actually market it internationally, particularly along the western seaboard. The Atlantic storms that we get are spectacular and the dark evenings also provide for a nice atmosphere in terms of the pubs and the cultural life of the country. It presents a big opportunity.
