Back in the "good ole daze" when our "little engine that could" had no prospects, no product, no money and the doors were very much in danger of being closed with the office lights in peril of being as dark as LL's heart, the lowest (I believe without checking) the PPS fell to was $.05.

The "little engine that could" now has ample fuel to run on with wideopen tracks ahead. It is carrying cargo in it's cars with more to be picked up at the next station. This train will deliver it's goods to eagerly awaiting customers however the final storm of the winter is impeading its progress. Fortunately this storm is minor and will blow away quickly leaving smooth tracks ahead.

To believe the "little engine that could" is again headed to $.05 when the comparison between the tracks it ran on years ago and the newly laid bedrock it is traveling on now does not give the present Engineer, Willy the Fireman" any credit for putting the "little engine that could" on the right track.

I am very surprised the PPS has dropped to this level. A number of factors seem to be combining to create this "walk down". Lack of news, EDig now being very much under the investor radar screeen, but above all December.....the month all engines need to be put on a side track for maintenance. The moguls of the railroad need to have everything in place for a smooth start come next year...

Christmas is right around the corner with New Years to follow. I have a very cheery outlook for 2008

Merry Christmas to all, even you LL, I look for your heart to be much lighter this coming year.
