Evenin' Sig: Yes, I agree with Bo-peep, I mean, Greg's base-building theory. It's really difficult to try to pick these stocks off the canvass. Take a look at OPWV, for example, where some ex-CSCO guys are. I still think, though, when we turn, it will be gradual, with a few exceptions. I'm embarrassed to say I had to look up Weatherford on the map. Never been there. Never heard of it. I've been everywhere from McKinney to Port Isabel. Port Arthur to Texarkana. Slept in a trailer at the rest area outside of Round Rock. We're still in tornado recovery mode here. Didn't make the national news, though. No deaths, no injuries as far as I know. Trees down everywhere. Power still out for thousands. The doggone thing decided to come through at 1:40 a.m. Easter morning. The worst of it seems to be along a line from Seneca to Neosho, although they had to evacuate patients from the big hospital in Joplin because windows were being blown out. Interstate highway-grade road signs snapped in half, insulation hanging from tree tops, things like that. We were under a tornado watch, but no warning was issued. The sirens never sounded. That is just, unfortunately, how it is in this part of the country. When I was 10 years old, an F3 (a big 'un), rumbled right through downtown. Came within a mile of our house. Anyone who ever saw that devil still remembers it to this day. And has nightmares about it. Tornado season ends here about the third week of May. And every year, I say, good riddance. PB
