Yes, Nicolas is now up to about $165,000. He should find out about the date of his appeal any day now. In principle, he should receive the maximum amount, considering his disabilities. They are quite serious. His legs are seriously crippled; he cannot walk. It is all right in a house, but his ankles do not adjust when he is on the ground, because they are pretty well fixed in one position. He has had nine surgeries on his legs and on his heel, and he is constantly in pain. It is difficult for him. As paradoxical as this may seem, he does ride a bike. And that is a good thing, because my two sons are former racing cyclists—they are champions, in fact. His weight is not on his legs and his feet are supported by the pedal. In fact, that is what he would like to do in Thailand. He would like to start a cycling tourism business. He was also thinking of buying some land to grow sugar cane.
