We had heard some investors were expecting a much worse forecast for next year, and those fears have been allayed.

From one year to the next I went to a physical and was expecting to just check the box. The next thing I knew my blood pressure was elevated and I had to see a cardiologist.

I'm fully expecting that we'll have a big surplus next year, ... and I'd like to see a plan for that now rather than waiting until that money comes in, then blowing it like a drunken lottery winner.

I am expecting it to be done sometime in June or July next year. That's a real difficult job to do because there are several places where it gets choked down. In front of Sexton foods, Race is already three lanes, and they will widen it a little there. But further down in front of Midnight Oil, it's just two lanes so it will cut it down to one lane when they close a lane for construction.

in the most optimistic scenario.

We knew 2003 was going to be a challenge, but it appears it's going to be more of a challenge than we expected.
