It's good. I read the BNSF article. Sounds like the economy is good for them. I wish it was for me.
Shall we stand together under a sign that sez: "Too Poor to Pay Attention!"

Bet we would have to get a very large sign, too!

The sign will never be big enough. Running out of this to cut back on!

Great article on the BNSF.

Any article that Fred Frailey writes, in either Trains or Kipplingers is well worth the time invested to read. He is a wonderfully talented writer.

It appears that Mr. Rose has his act together as CEO. I like the trucker mentalty that he has. I have always thought that trucking owners/executives are some of the sharpest operators in business. Perhaps not MBA sharp, but street smart. They gotta know their territory and customers well to succeed.

Mine came in on the 28th,and I was flipping through it,CW looked over
and asked when did that come in? I said in this mornings mail,she says
hurry up and finish it so "I" can read it!

From what I've already read,or at least skimmed,it is a very good issue.[:)]

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
