TSR's April numbers are very slightly higher than their own numbers published in December. They are also a bit higher than the Colorado State University numbers from Drs. Gray and Katzenbach.
TSR's next forecast date is June 4.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved .
