That's fine.

I know we will take advantage for hurricane prep come June 1. I'm sure you will do the same.

Who do you have for homeowner's insurance? We have Frontline. Finally came through a few months ago. Roof and other repairs are done. Solar goes back up tomorrow and then it's all over.

People today who think Walmart is too big to fall don't remember just how big Sears was.
Here's an example. In the 1920s, Sears sold radios by mail, but there were large parts of America that didn't have any radio stations within range, so, Sears got into the radio station business and, in 1924, started WLS 890am Chicago. A radio station powerful enough to fill the Midwest.
Then, they sold every household in the Midwest and most of the rest of the country a radio. The kicker was that once they bought a radio, they tuned in to Sears radio station witch advertised Sears products.
The equivalent today would be if Walmart sold you the TV and then you only got Walmart commercials and ads on your TV.
Walmart was never that big.
WLS stood for World's Largest Store, and it was.
The only thing to ever come close would be Amazon Web Services providing you the internet so you can buy Amazon products and services.

Completely false analogy. 

AWS (to the extent that they're offering web hosting beyond ALL the other cloud computing services they offer) are more like a billboard company--you pay to put up your billboard, but they don't get a cut of your sales. You pay AWS to host your site, they host your site, and your site isn't selling Amazon products/services. 

(Now being an Amazon vendor is a different story--but that's separate from AWS.)

And they don't even provide you your internet. Your ISP does.
