Richard...Off Topic.

Nothing but buys today, as far as I can tell....very cool.

Anyhow, one of the neat things about this company....is that they have 16 state distributorships signed up to date. That means there are 34 to go.....They have been announcing them about every four or five days.......So they are kind of overdue for another one.

This reminds me of a particular kind of reel slot machine that they used to have in Vegas (years ago). As I remember, the machine had "stars"...and it would pay out 2 for 1 ......buy lining up 3 stars about every third pull on average. So......buy wandering through casinos.....and looking for the star machines that were showing a "no win" on the face of the machine......you could be fairly sure that the first dollar put in would return 2.....and if not, the second would at least get you your investment back....break even.

Casinos quickly figured this out...as folks would breeze into a casino....look for these machines....play a few coins....and leave with a few more than they came in with.....and of course the machines were removed...or reset.

Oh well.....I guess the meaning here is that it is nice to know that ECCC should be having a steady flow of positive news...as they build the company. Not many companies can do it.

ps. And also...on these "star" machines....there was always the chance that you could hit the big one......<g>
