Deb says those things are really the heart of Great Lakes shipping today, and they will be for a long time to come.

So as of this year, Duluth became the second Great Lakes port after Cleveland to be able to accept container shipments.

You know, it's always a balance of service and price, correct?

And I do think that the cost can work.

So Dustin, just a bit of a reality check. 

People are astounded to hear this fact. So yeah, the distance is actually very close to being the same.

Which I've been skillfully ignoring this whole time, Darian.

So there is a lot of ice in the winter, and the shipping lanes are actually closed every winter for months.

Which is, I'll admit, a minor inconvenience. It might be.

Sorry to rain on your parade.

I'll back off on my Great Lakes enthusiasm just a bit.

It all came out of a greater distribution network.

It's not coming out as quickly as we would like, is it?

It's like nothing we've ever seen. I've been doing this for 38 years. It's unprecedented.
