It could be more of the norm than you think. I have been retired for a few years but many of us did the same thing at an industry in the Lake Charles area.
The shares are up 30% since you last posted, you say?

Did you last post February 2nd ? Did you see your shadow?

That's got to be it. As I recall he declared he had considerable exposure to some other investments.

I was re-engineered at PPG in the 90's before it was acquired by Westlake Chem.

Catch the Spirit Revisited.
There simply would not be so much speculation had we received that "thorough breakdown" as promised from SECCAPTIAN.

Not too far away. Bayou D'Inde Pass Road south of the building where the Calcasieu Parish voting machines are stored.

As to a geographical reference that you can most likely identify with, it is an eighty acre parcel located south of Maplewood area of Sulfur. The zoning designation is "light industrial."

I walked this property with two men from Providence Engineering about seven years ago. The Army Corps approved their findings which was a few acres of 100% wetlands and mostly the balance 38% wetlands.

This property was owned by my grandfather and there are 26 of us with undivided interests at this time. A large majority of my cousins decided to put it up for sale. I think that they are having the JD reapproved at this time.

Indeed it is a cool place. Many years ago started learning plant and animal taxonomy, fire arms safety, and to drive an automobile when I was eleven years old.

Yes, the property is in SWLA (Calcasieu Parish).

Yes Ron, thank you for the comment.

It is estimated that 59% of Louisiana wetlands are located in non-coastal inland swamps that could become open for development under this new proposal. At present much of the property that falls under the definition of wetlands are well-drained areas called "pimple mounds." Between these elevated areas are spaces that can become saturated with rainwater.

Under the new proposal the wetlands area would have to be touching visible water surface at least part of the year under a typical season. We may hear it called "the continuous surface rule."

The proposal will knock back restrictions.

What is your take on this matter?
Is it likely to be accepted? Is it good for Louisiana?

Happy for you. If I ever get to the point of being $ .15 away from breaking even, I will hire El Groucho as my bodyguard.
I have been there two times for lunch. It is legit.
I have never really understood why Sulphur has had the youth sports facilities that Lake Charles does lacks. For example, the Louisiana High School state baseball and softball championships are held there each year.

Upon my understanding Barbe High School kids on the swim team drive there for practice because McNeese will not allow use of their pool.

Should we applaud? You have done so much to inspire my confidence.
That looks like Gaucho for sure. In one of his last posts, as I recall, he was wondering why it was taking so long for you and me to warm up to his obvious charm and winning personality.
That would "set me right." Pre-market at $4.61 per share. It has been a very good week.
There is an old Burt Reynolds film titled W.W. And The Dixie Dancekings produced in the mid-seventies. In the scene W.W. was with his date at a drive-in movie theater in a classic 1955 Olds Delta 88 both seemingly enjoying the moment.

She said "Don't stop now, WW!" I expected the next scene to be absolutely erotic but it dialog was rather humorous.
