We're definitely going to see a very strong first quarter. It looked like consumers were hibernating in December, and all they needed was an excuse to go on a spending spree. The weather provided that.

There's so much momentum coming early into this quarter that an excellent quarter is just baked in the cake.

In the first half we played well and we played strong in the fourth quarter. That was our goal. In a couple of our past games they wore us down, especially our last game. This time we didn't want to quit.

Our first quarter results are better than we expected, however we stand by the overall outlook we provided in December,

We had a real good December. Consumers didn't appear to be holding back at the pump.

They've had strong quarters before, especially the first quarter. Historically, that's been one of their strongest quarters. But whether this can be sustained, that's the next challenge.
