So, you know, we just talked about kind of what's happening with our good friends at Sona Park.

But, you know, also in the news was Rexel, you know, and they are like, you know, Once again, we talked about MSC to open the show here up by 10%.

You know, Rexall did even better.

They broke out, you know, their numbers last week, if you will.

So that moderates that growth.

even further, but it's still a positive, right? It's still nearly 4% overall growth for motion, which as you said, it's not explosive growth.

Like we're seeing, like, I think Rexel's growth was still double digits after you account for inflation and acquisitions or any other non-organic sources of growth.

So motion has a much more steady as she goes, much more single digit, lower single digit growth.

So yeah.

I think that it's more when before Guess, I worked at a, a company called Rexel.

So that's my transition after, so the job as a consultant and then became a team leader.

So when I joined Rexel, I was, uh, the manager of this retail.

Again, it was managing the Retak system, the former Oracle Retail.

That was the first time I really, really got into retail, started to the full journey of understanding retail business.
