How you doing Andy?

I’m doing good. Jim, how about you?

I’m doing fine. I just like to start out and talk about an oil conference. I think you and I went to a couple years ago and the analyst of a major oil company said, all you have to do is get GDP and weather down and you’ll understand what oil demand’s gonna be. And that’s not quite the case these days, is it?
