   Big changes on that front.  (Parenthetic to my main points, I think I'm   
   giving stormchasing a pass this year, with $4 gas and the fact that I've   
   seen damn near everything Ma Nature has...)   
      
   Anyhow, the guy who runs Steak 'n Shake now has proclaimed himself to be the   
   successor to Warren Buffet, but acts like Gordon Gekko.  Uses the profits   
   from SNS to buy up other companies and vote himself handsome bonuses.   
      
   Worse, the second in a series of reverse stock splits is about to occur,   
   raising the stock price up to around $6450/sh.  Too rich for my blood.  Then   
   he's going to offer Class B shares for a cheaper price, but no voting   
   rights.   
      
   Meanwhile, out on the plains there's a new chain,   
   http://freddysfrozencustard.com/  , tastes *exactly* like SNS only drawback   
   is that they're a Pepsi house, big advantage is that they're 200 miles   
   closer to my house!   
      
   So, things have changed.
