Updated Green Bar in Google Directory

just noticed this today...

Based on other things I have been reading, here is one more clue that something might be happening.

I track PR almost daily lately. Including during the recent mentions of PR updates in the google directory (which also showed a jump for me). I just noticed a second jump for me. I've got a three month old site showing PR 2 on the toolbar. Two days ago I was showing a green width of 11 in the directory(translating to a PR around 2 or 3). Now that bar is showing a width of 16 meaning a translation to PR 4 or 5.

I'm also not at the bottom of the directory anymore :)
