Mr. Chairman, just for clarification, for those communities who are serviced by road, we buy bulk fuel normally in the winter. For those communities that are serviced by barge, we would buy them as close to the barge delivery time as possible, usually early summer or late spring. We have no choice but to pay whatever the price is at that time. We do not have the capacity to buy for more than one year normally because we do not have storage capacity. We are subject to annual purchase.
