I'm not sure how you got let back in, but I guess I should take care of that. It was nice having you! (again)
PS - Cabela's is coming close to a major retail market which is smart on their part. Their are a lot more hunters around here than you may think. Ones that aren't afraid to drop some serious cash either. All I know is that it'll be 20 minutes from work and I'm happy.

Nice for the local Illinios Hunters. I enjoy having one close too. Except for spending too much money!
On a different note, it's too bad to see a good family owned company turn into what it is nowadays. I worked for Cabelas for many years. The employees used to wear their shirts with pride with being part of a great company. Now it's all about the money, with values being swapped for revenues. Most any long-term employee would say the same. But times change. Enough ranting from me. That's all besides the subject.

kshunter, I think it's no coincidence that the change in culture at Cabelas came right around the same time they took the company public (NYSE: CAB). Once that happened, it becameall about the bottom line, because there's a bunch of new institutional investors scrutinizing every nickel.
But hey, I couldn't be happier they're gonna be 20-30 minutes from me!!
