And one more to go.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

So I made a mistake and forgot to add the $0.6 necessary as a baseline for Marathona's refit. The report has been updated with this.
