Right, Adam. Thanks for the question. So we have been, and we continue to be in this very inflationary environment as a relates to PE. So again, that's a sound like a broken record. But we're, in the face of it, we're acting to it or managing to it, we're driving product, we're doing everything we can to try to minimize the impact and feel there to maintain that full year guidance. Our expectation is that we're still in this inflationary environment. We do expect it to continue, call it for another month or two. But I'll tell you that makes us nervous a little bit, even make that statement, because of the dynamic we've seen in the past three months. We will react to it accordingly, of course, in terms of driving productivity and pricing actions as necessary. But we're hopeful that this thing starts to plateau kind of level out. And we continue to kind of move forward. But internally, when you think about our risks and opportunities, and as we share with we'd like to share with investors, when we put on our guidance slide kind of the downside, as well as the upside to our outlook. You can see the downside, clearly, still is that dramatic material inflation continues to supply disruptions, etc. But we'll manage through it. But let me focus on the positive. The positives are the global reach of our company that share gains the opportunity we already talked about the equipment piece of it in terms of what we're doing and how we're driving, we hope to exceed that for 25 as I mentioned before, and then between Ted and myself just continuing to reiterate the operating engine. The backbone that we have in place to drive productivity is there, it's real, it's happening. And we'll continue to pursue it. Regarding the Delta variant and the implications that has on our business, I kind of view it as every week as a new week, almost every day as a new day, as we hear more about it. It has us clearly concerned and one side of the business potentially may do better as relates to the retail food side, if you will, we did see some early signs of recovery on the service side. We're hoping that that food service, hopefully that continues, but time will tell. Time will tell.
