Notable Quotes (3)
I think next time having like a large sign and then people can kind of come to us and know who we are instead of us having to
I mean if we can find a case where yes we are I mean then it would be something to consider but I just kind of kyle kind of bummed me
I would say at that time that would make sense to maybe discuss investing in that ahead of time but it is feasible
