And in the real world....
The following is part of a post from another thread. I like to hear what's REALLY going on, instead of what the government's numbers show.

"FWIW, most retail chains we sell to are seeing some of the weakest Late Winter/Early Spring sales in a long time.
Our company truck drivers report that the railyards are very quiet (in the Chicago area, a huge hub for rail), and there are not nearly as many trucks on the road (many are calling, looking for business to keep their drivers working).
A year ago, you couldn't hardly get a truck to haul your goods. What a difference a year makes."

Well, JW, I'm seeing that here, too, and I'm not within 500 miles of Chicago. I don't think trucks and railroads became obsolete overnight, either.
Sounds to me like GreenLegs better keep on cuttin'.
