LMP: Well, it's kind of hard to say. This morning, I toc a Marezine before breakfast, and then very shortly after breakfast, it all came back up - in the middl_ of all that commotion that we were - that we were going through, getting ready to get through that tunnel. I would guess that, under the seinecircum- the same.
